cant be flashing

cant be able to see the tubes

i believe theres also something about having red at the back as people might mistake it for brake lights or something.

stick with blue/green/whatever

fact is theres haters for everything, i dont run neons but if you have them and you like them then who cares what they think.

I cop plenty of flac for my girly man bag but that doesnt stop me :P

1. tube must not be visible

2. colour must not be any warning/emergency colour. ei. cops red, blue etc.

3. you can only install 1 neon tube/LED underbody for every 100hp that your car makes. so you'll need 400 hp+

dont get me wrong i love them also but all of the above is a must.

Hay all.... Couldn't really think of a section to put this in, so i thought id go local....

i recently obtained a set of LED underbody lights, (multicolour, flash patterns, bass sensitive) and fitted them, however, am a bit nervous to turn them on while driving around in case i get booked or worse stickered. Since laws vary state to state, i thought here would be a good place to check a) whether anybody else has a set of lights like this, and b)if anyone knows the actual legalitys of driving with them on.

it's ok, i've braced myself for the ricey/bling commments, but they do look cool...

cheers guys,

phil

I have someunderbody lighting too on my magna, I've been stickered for it too which sucks.

Basically you are not allowed to see the tube AT ALL.

One time I got pulled up they let me off with a warning saying "hide it, sticky tape it, or paint it"

another time i got pulled up (stickered) they said tape or paint is not allowed, the tube has to be hidden.

they can also defect your car if your lights FLASH or >> CAN BE MADE TO FLASH << which is bs, because almost all of them can be made to flash, just tell them they cant be made to flash :P

There's a document on the DPI website about it which i printed off and keep in my car, i'll have a look for that shortly, have to start work now :D someone may have already posted it though

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
