i got pinged for having blue ones on my old s13.

i was told by the 50 that :"it is illegal to have any aftermarket emergancy vehicle coloured lights. (red, blue,)"

but i believe thay can also argue, ur leds are a distraction.

i know that it is illegal to drive with them. but if your not you can have wateva u want going off.

i had red ones on my commodore... got in trouble over them... some cops will tell you you can have them when your parked and others say not at all, my missus had them on her lancer... apparently if they are white lights on the bonnet they are legal, but some cops still argued the point.

just add, if you have coloured or thinking of having coloured lights for rear eg. number light surround... we were told they have to be red and only ingauge when breaking... but to avoid trouble, best not fit them at all

:thumbsup: my dream is fading

i really want this, i think its would be like the final accessory for my car. but i don't like this illegalness

ive seen the white ones and they just look bad...

im sure all the lights i have on the interior are illegal. maybe its best not to tempt fate

Illegal in melbourne too. Forward facing lights must either be amber for indicating or between 5500K and 6000K (or something like that) basically regular headlight white.

besides, everyone will think you're the biggest tryhard ever if you put them on. The police are doing you a favour.

well if the old adage is true - that like attracts like - your blue neon washer nozzles will probably attract more blue ( and red) lights - attached to a cop car haha..

man .. dont do it .. they look soooo crap and will bring shame on the house of neesan!

Hey, isn't the two neons on the centre of your car going to be annoying at night (pic in the bottom left of your sig)? The ones in the foot well look alright because you can't see the tube, but the ones on the centre?

i agree to an extent though it does look kinda cool, reminds me of the gtr in 2 fast 2 furious, but that had neons all over the joint, tubes showin evrywhere,

have the cops ever hassled u about those in the center?

the ones in center are new, and they pulse to the bass of my subs

haha

distracting... not really, you think it would be but ur so focused on the road you just kinda dont notice them

and whenever i get pulled up by cops i just pull out one lil plug and all 8 neons in my car turn off

so whenever i see a cop/get pulled over out the cord goes.

but naa as far as distracting its like loud music.. you just kinda dont notice it once u start driving

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
