I just checked to make sure it wasnt april fools day.

Somebody should revoke your right to own such a nice car as the V35 coupe.

But if you like them, then go for it. Most of us are guilty of something that "seemed like a good idea at the time".

personally LED underbody are nice... if its on a lancer (omg fully sik mate) then its RICE. my way of putting it is if its on a nice car then it'll look nice.

rule is...for ever 100hp=1 underbody neon/led tube. you are allowed 2 paul, most of us anyway :P if you can squeeze another 70hp into her you can have 3!

someone please talk him out of it :P

on a more serious note....isn't underbody neons illegal??

They are legel in QLD as long as they follow these rules..

Lighting

Adding extra lights or neon's can bring more attention to your car, but it's not always wanted. The fitting of under body lights (neon's or LEDs) or other lights is legal, provided they meet several criteria. For under body lights, they cannot be distracting to other driver's, this means you cannot see the source of the light. Flashing lights (excluding indicators) are illegal except for emergency vehicles or special vehicles in hazardous situations (usually amber lights on construction vehicles or tow trucks etc).

Colours are also limited. Blue lights cannot be fitted to any vehicle at any time, unless it an emergency vehicle – this includes under body lights, LED washers or parkers. White lights can only be visible from the front of the vehicle; red lights can only be visible from the rear of the vehicle. Purple cannot be used due to their use by the Department of Transport. Yellow (or amber) should only be used as clearance markers.

I personally think they look good, but not on all cars.. I would have green if our car was not forsale (100% legal).... Not saying i would use them all the time but some times. :D

And for those that say they are rice, well the car is Japanese... lol and they did start it.. hehe :laugh:

Hope that helps.

Agreed with above.

i know a friend that has a 350z with countless mods...has twin turbo, 1/4 mile runs would be at least in the 11s. use to go on cruises with him and people would admire and give thumbs up including v8s etc. as soon as he puts in LED underbody (million colour ones) hes car became RICE... :D

come on guys admit that you like them :P:P

To each his own but just be warned not all police have the same opinion as to what is 'distracting to other drivers'.

Distracting is as follows in the Modifatation rules for QLD Transport. (NOT WHAT THE POLICE OFFICER THINKS), He/she enforcers the law they do not make it.) So keep a laminated copy of this rule in the car make sure it complies and they cannot do a thing about it. QLD transport/ Road smart say you can do it you can do it, this goes for this or any mod you do.

DISTRACTING

This means you cannot see the source of the light. Flashing lights (excluding indicators) are illegal except for emergency vehicles or special vehicles in hazardous situations (usually amber lights on construction vehicles or tow trucks etc).

My opinion is you dont belong anywahere near a Nissan vehicle.

But its your car and if you want people to laugh at you and the cops to annoy you do it.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
