Are neons illegal?

If they are in the front grill (the globe isnt showing), and its red?

i heard from somewhere that red is illegal, but green n blue arent?

can anyone help me with this

thanks

ps, if you are going to say neons are shit, dun post, I cant be bother reading it..

when mine were... um - inspected, nothing was said about the colour, just no flashing, and make sure the globe can't be seen.

Ive tried driving around with all three colours at one time or another, and so far no sticker ! so im guesing they're ok...

also ref. this thread... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=38868

hope this clears things up

Phil

I've recently been involved in a yellow sticker incident involving neons, so I can quote first hand what is and isn't allowed.

The law according to a Dept of Transport vehicle inspector:

Neons are legal under the following conditions,

You must not be able to see the elements from a seated position in an ajacent vehicle, neons are not allowed to pulse or flash, you must not have a red neon facing forward, all other colors are acceptable, all colors including red are acceptable for the sides and rear, they must be adequatly secured and the elements shielded to avoid exposure to other drivers. You can drive around with them on.

The law according to some cops:

Yellow sticker every vehicle with neons as they are deemed a distraction to other drivers, you can't have them on whilst driving but static in a carpark is OK.

My personal suggestion is put em on the correct way, use them and know the law and your rights if you get pulled over, just remember though it could cause the cops to look for other defects on your car so keep it neat and legal.

no good comes from them....

you get more "rice boy" shit from trevs

more attention from cops

if your car is stock and you have neons thats just stupid

if your car is bombed, looks like the 2 fast 2 furious car (like danny's :D) then its ok because he is riced up on every other angle so the neons dont look outa place. :rofl:

all i can suggest is dont turn them on or off infront of a cop

because then they will say they are flashing, and if you are turning them off then the cops will think your guilty of something and pull you over... :(

thats true. have seen plenty of commodores with cheap and nasty neon installs.  

 

:vomit:

I find this to be true also... and the ONLY thing worse than a cheap and crappy install is cheap and crappy neons - if they are so dull you can only see them when parked in the dark, why bother?

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
