^^^ 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

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
