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 really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)
    • Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.
    • You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple
    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
