Hey guys,

Looking at installing some interior neons (don't mock it, i'm extracting some more power from the engine to counter act the added rice :D ) but i want them 2 turn on when I open the doors. Where is the sensor in the door that turns the interior light on? I'm guessing I dont have to run wires through my roof to achieve this. Any help would be appreciated.

I 'm quite sure it's inside the door locking mechanism, but correct me if I'm wrong.

It's gonna take a bit of planning and enginuity to put it all together

I installed my neons and just added a switch

Good luck with yours

its easy, if you want the neon to turn on when you open your door and turn off when you close it

just connect it to your roof interiror light by connecting the wired (cant really remember coz i done this last yr)

but connect it to the roof light and switch it to "door" so everytime you open your door it should turn on so on with closing the door.

i use velcro and stuck it up the roof..hope that helps = ]]

P.S i got the blue neon from supercheap and it wasnt that bright worst then your normal interior light

counldnt see Shi* soo i when back to normal light ^__^

so what does that mean? I'm not the best when it comes to electronics unfortunately!! I'm a f**king mechanic for shits sakes!! How bad is that!!

means if you tap into the switch - you need to connect the switch to the Earth side of your lights, then supply the light with constant +ve power

that way when the switch earths out, you get light

i think the light switch is down below the latch on the pillar part.

only down side to this is that they come on whenever you open the door. i have a blue neon as the interior light in the pulsar, but i also still have the standard light (helps when reading maps, looking for shit, etc) the interior light still works off the switch so i can have the door open and not have it on, but the neon is on whenever the door is open.

    • Welcome. Dont let anyone dissuade you from your dreams. If you want a gtr, keep sabing and you will eventually get one. I feel like if I had have bought stocks, those companies would have gone bust and I would have lost my money.  There's a gamble in everything we buy. I've had good times and bad. But... I've also met my absolute best friend through this network and can't imagine life without them(more like a brother). Keep in mind, some specific mods will change as technology gets better. If you feel like general chat, there's always the wasteland.....
    • Those are some very cutesy barriers! Is that common?
    • Saw this abandoned Honda Fit in a carpark that was getting repaved... they just 'cut around it' and continued with the job! There's a number of reasons why the car could have been abandoned, but as for the construction company, legally they don't have permission to move the car from the owner (who has moved on and can't be contacted) so all they can do it just leave it there with enough space around it so it won't get damaged. 
    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
