^^^ lolz thats funny as...

neons are so gay man...i cringe whenever i see some one with them on..especially if they are excels/lancers/civics...yes for show but not for the road...then again i would never put them on a show car.

fast and the furious was like 7 years ago wasn't it

have fun with the cops, I have not seen a car with underglow neons in years, I assume they have all been dicked.

More likely then that, they don't have them turned on on the street :P

I dunno why people have to voice such an opinion over this, it's not your car, it's not your choice. Same rule applies to every mod.

well yeah that too, but doesnt 'Tyson' want them for street use....

i mean yeah you can have em for show but for street theres just no point these days unless you wanna show em to your mates in your garage, their classified as being illegal due to distraction to others drivers etc.

its easy.. go to autobarn.. i had the ones that go with the sound.. engine revs.. fading.. always on.. costs $300.. you can screw it to the body.. or side skirts.. mine stayed on even when the ignition is off... just run it to a switch

i had them in my vt.. so flame away lol.. but it was built as a show car and let me tell you.. it won't pick up chicks.. maybe 7-10yrs ago it would have but in todays age.. your prob gonna get laughed at...

they arent hard to hook up.. run the wires into the transformer.. and then to a switch.. the switch needs power (run off a fuse.. and then ground the earth wire.. done..

oh and they are the neon bars not the led ones.. where bouts in brisbane are you?

Oh true, if autobarn sells them i'll have to check it out. To be honest if i can get neons that are always on for cheaper than ones that change with the music etc then i'd rather just go with always on. I prefer them always on, if the fading feature etc came with it for free then i'd be like whatever but i don't want to pay extra for it lol. Does autobarn sell underbody neon kits? or do you have to buy all the parts seperate? I live on the North side of Brisbane in North Lakes.

Also those cars with the neons look awesome that were posted by the two other people (forgot your names sorry and i suck at multi-quoting).

I looked up Streetglow, those neon sets sound good. If i can't get any neon sets locally then i'll definately get them through that site.

that is a sweet 34 :(

99% of people on here have some form of illegal modification.... and their cars are street driven.... do you idle your car in the garage to show it off?

The point is, almost any modification is illegal these days, and if its not, im sure if you get pulled over, the cop will try and tell you it is anyway, some call it rice, some call it style, its all in the eye of the beholder so to speak. If you know its illegal but still want it, just be careful how you use it and everyone is happy :P

yes autobarn should still sell the normal underbody neons..

they come in a kit.. as you need a transformer to run them.. (comes in box).. north side too far for me.. i wanted the under car neons for the skyline to turn on when you open the door.. (then off if its closed of course) cause i thought thats a nifty trick.. and its not like the po po will harrass over that.. but then yeah i realised... VT seemed ok for them but not for my skyline.. prob cause yeah 5-7yrs ago they were the in thing but i'm over them now..

i don't mind/care/flame anyone with them on just not for the look i want on my line

Thanks, i'll check out autobarn. Hopefully they sell them, how big are transformers? The neon kits on streetglow have in-built transformers. I looked up the autobarn website and theres a store in caboolture so yeah not too far from me.

that is a sweet 34 :huh:

99% of people on here have some form of illegal modification.... and their cars are street driven.... do you idle your car in the garage to show it off?

some statistics you got there ey, my point was that with neons you have a much higher chance of getting pulled over because your are showing the world your 'illegal' mod. Its a visual aspect of the car where as most of the illegal stuff people have on here is 'usually' under the hood. Yeah you can still get done for it but you also have the chance of not getting pulled over in the first place.

Either way its up to the owner if their willing to take that risk.

LOL!

Bonus GT Spoiler for that one.

I have one of those too :huh: normally it's only for show as well but changing the lock over is damn hard :P

I think the only time outside a show or private event I have had them on, is turning up to a meet... I would never (purposefully) drive with them on, my car stands out enough kthx

mine are used only for shows, never on the street, mind u i have seen some fully sik commonwhores with them on driving around and its like "your asking for it big time".

but yeah, i actually got mine from super cheap for 79 bucks when they were on special.

in the end its up too the owners choice on whether they want to do something to their car that everyone probably will hate. ive done it plenty of times and really couldnt give twoo shites.

just to add something to the mix guys,

UNDERBODY NEONS WHILST ON ARE NOT ILLEGAL TO HAVE WHILE DRIVING

to be not illegal there are some rules:

-no leds or neons are allowed to be colour changeable, only 1 solid colour

-neon tube/light source must not be visible, only the glow onto the road

-must not flash like a stobe or be seen as a distraction to other drivers

-must not be blue, red or white like police car lights. others colours ok. pink, purple, green, yellow, gold etc

-glow of light not exceed past car more than 1/2metre in all directions

-not allowed in areas such as parcel shelf, open front grills, door pillars and the like

ALL THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN TOLD TO ME BY A FRIEND WHO IS A COP WITH 35YRS EXP. NOT GOSPEL BUT GOOD AS.

also regulations may change in other states, this would b relevant to vic only

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
