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.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
