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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
