Would it be possible to slip a neon in there instead of the LED panel as i dislike how the LEDs have real bright hot spots on a few rear garnishes i have seen, also how would i go about getting the neon to stay there and not move around within the garnish?? is there any way that water can get in or wen the garnish is on that part is blocked of??

whay do you think about this mod??? i did this with a friend over the weekend, sorry for the crappy cam.

please reply

Completely illegal - from my understanding, you can only have auxiliary lights if they do not flash or move.

also, not my cup of tea.

The NSW RTA vehicle standards has a clause on additional brakes lights.

Every car can have one additional from the tail lights.

So if its red, it is legal.

But the night rider gig may raise a question.

NSW anyway, soon to be national standards.

Could someone please answer this??

I used a CCFL (cold cathode florescent) in mine. Got it from Jaycar. It works, but is a little too short and a little too bright. I ended up putting two LEDs in - one at each end to handle the shortness that was causing the ends to be too dim.

On the brightness it is so bright that it actually shines through the paint - of course my car is white so paint doesn't block as much as a darker color or silver. I have a mod planned to fix it up but haven't gotten around to it yet.

It's been on the car for a year now without problem though.

ok guys i wanna clear this up, i need the nsw guys to answer this

if i was to make the garnish red and hook it up to my brakes it would be illigal

but if i was to just have it as a solid color its legal?

If you hooked it up to your brake lights it would be considered as a distraction to other drivers that would make it illegal,best bet is to ring your local police station and ask.

Has anyone tried painting the sign to any other color than their car? I have the Wine red color skyline that is notorius for being a hard color to match and I have problems getting the right paint color where I live because the original paint has got darker over the years. So I was thinking has anyone tried to paint it some neutral color like grey or something that would look good?

Ive seen a few white ones getting around with the light up garnish painted black and it looks not too bad, maybe go for a black or even grey.. if you go to autoahn they can colour match it for you that's how i went about matching my colour and it was pretty close

I have one of these lights fitted as a factory option on my r33 looks way better than after market ones no bright spots like led's.

Part # G9850-22U00 for anyone interested. $670 for a brand new one :S

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
