For those people in QLD here is the ruling from QLD Transport, if you dont want to read all that carp basically it states that underbody lighting IS LEGAL BUT CAN NOT BE THE FOLLOWING COLOURS: Red, Blue, Yellow or White, as they are reserved for emergency vehiles, oh and the lights cant flash, BUT I see they do add in on the end, "Other colours are acceptable as long as they do not flash or dazzle another driver." So a bad cop cant still hit you up if they really wanted to, but then HTF do you prove that the lights were "dazzeling" ?? Anyway I think MELV's look shit hot so probably going to go some myself once I got the cash :D

Underbody lighting is permitted, provided the lights are fitted in

accordance with the conditions listed in this information sheet

AIS INFORMATION SHEET No. 21

Alternative lights

Additional lights fitted to motor vehicles and, in particular, alternative

lighting on dressed up vehicles with underbody lighting, such as neon

lights and ultra violet lights, are acceptable, subject to certain

conditions.

(TO(RUM-VSS)) allows lights not mentioned in the standards to be fitted in

addition to the required lights, whereas the former Traffic Regulation 1962

required specific approval, which was not often granted. Lights that flash

or are white, red, yellow or blue are mentioned in the standards. However,

pink lights, for example are not mentioned and could, theoretically, be

fitted.

The use of blue lights are reserved for police vehicles in Queensland but

ambulances and fire engines in other states may use blue lights.

As such, additional underbody lighting such as neon lights and ultra violet

lights are acceptable provided the light omitted is not blue, yellow, red

or white. Of the last two, red lights must not be seen from the front and

white must not be seen from the rear. Other colours are acceptable as long

as they do not flash or dazzle another driver.

Other additional lighting requirements are covered by the regulations and

which is summarised in the brochure "All About Modifications to Motor

Vehicles". This brochure may be sighted on the Queensland Transport website

at www.transport.qld.gov.au/qt/driver.nsf/index/vehiclemods

Additional mandatory lights, e.g. an extra pair of direction indicator

lights, are also permitted. The Australian Design Rules set mandatory

position, width and height limits for a primary set of lights fitted to a

vehicle. In the case of light and heavy omnibuses (MD and ME categories),

all commercial vehicles (N category) and medium and heavy trailers (TD and

TC categories), additional direction indicator, hazard warning, stop,

parking and rear position lights may be fitted to satisfy specific

operational requirements.

These operational requirements could include the need to better project

manoeuvring intentions in congested traffic such as for buses frequently

stopping to pick up and set down passengers, the need to have additional

lights to retain signalling capability in case of primary light breakages,

and where operating environment results in low mounted lights becoming

covered in dirt or dust.

The maximum height limits for particular lights, which includes stop

lights, fitted to the above categories of vehicles do not apply when

provided as additional lights.

Right,

So what other colors are left then? Pink, Green and purple !

Oh yay!

:kick:

We're all breaking the law just starting our cars everyday in some bs way so i dont think adding blue etc neons really matters

not like ill be using them while driving anyway

Im 99% sure 'According to law' that you are allowed to have whatever color neons you want on, aslong as the car is stationary, the engine is off, and you in a carpark.

That doesnt mean that 'According to the police officer' that its legal tho :slap:

Guy's could we please keep this to a sales only thread. If you need to talk about the legallity side of Neons then please start a thread elsewhere.

Thanks

Neil.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
