Hey Everyone-

Just wondering, i Have a black r43 and was wondering what your thoughts are about purple neons to match... yes my girlfriend has gone ahead and bought the interior ones but they can easily be rplaced. i dont really mind the idea of purple as it will be different, but on the same note i dont want to give the impression that my girlfriend is dolling up my car (i have already had people ask if playboy seat covers are next).. any input is good so please help... if you hav any pics of cars with purple neons that would be great too

Cheers

Kerr34 :banana:

If you're modding it to suit YOUR likings, then do it. If you're modding to show off/eye candy for others, probably not so much. (If that makes sense)

Totally agree.

If you want to do it becasue you want to be noticed by others, you will not get a positive response from Police and most people think it's pretty ricer/ugly/fast & furious.

Please don't take offense to the replies, think of it as constructive criticism as they are actually giving you good advice.

PS: Are you Daniel's brother? lol

under dash or floor neons are fine there not really visible from outside and can be handy for lighting purposes. Blue would be better but purple would look fine.

Just no under neons and i think your safe.

Just make sure the globes are hidden looks tacky when you can see the globes.

ahaha no im his cousin though.. good pick up

If you want undercar lights, the ones on my car id be happy to sell. They are Varad Brand, they morph through "1000 colours", they have patterns, they hook up to music etc etc etc. They are in a square polycarbonate tube and the LED's they use are different to what you can buy here. (these came out of america and cost $900...or very close to it)

If your interested, you can have a look at them one night as they are fitted to my car still. For the right offer, i would be happy to sell them as ive sort of out grown them....having said that, im not an "undercar light hater" lol

If interested, let me know.

mmm each to their own i guess my bro used to have red neons and they did look cool but meh he doesn't evne use them LOL i wreckon their rice but as i said each to their own don't let ne one stop ya from slapping on purple neons :P

Generally I think blue is the best neon colour, have those on my computer (riced com ftw :P), but yeah like what most people have said, not many people are fans of neons & having a neon is like putting up a neon sign saying "come & defect me" to the cops.

My mum thinks neons are cool though... :D she even wanted me to put neons underneath my car.

EDIT: typo

My former Pulsar's audio install.

Products used are from a brand called ICELED. 2.1 million colours, controlled by various controllers, lots of wanky features. Best LED stuff on the market (from the UK). Very expensive though with 1ft LED tubes costing over $100 each, and undercar kits at $1500.

As someone said, interior neons or LEDs can enhance the interior look. I liked them for that same reason, and also made taking interior photos of the car much more appealing. You can however go down the wrong path, however done right it can be a winner.

As 'for show' and 'showing off' not a good idea...I remember taking the Pulsar to an 'all performance' car cruise a couple years ago, and funny thing is that everyone was standing around looking at the Pulsar, recording clips on their phones etc. No one cared to look at the drift spec, high performance cars as there is nothing to look at when they have their bonnets and doors closed. Times have changed I know, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Pulsar could pull a similar crowd now if the gear was still in there.

Do i have lights in my R, no...but would I do it if I had the right opportunity (say if I did the retrim I had planned for the car), yes I would. Plus I'll make sure to have the hp to back up the lights :P

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
