Hey guys,

Was wondering if anyone knew the best place to get undercar LEDs? Apparently I need custom ones made up for the back and the front (sides are fine) because of the way the exhaust runs and because the K-Bar is too low.

I heard Jaycar has these LED strips you can cut to length that are made for undercars. Haven't been to check them out yet though.

I'm after preferrably the 1000 colour LEDs, if not then just white as I have a Black and White them going with my car.

Let us know. Cheers :turned:

Jaycars set is about $60 and comes with 4 strips (2 around 1.2m long, 2 around 800cm long) of rubber encased RGB LED's. Completely weatherproof, waterproof, etc. The RGB globes come with 8 different pre programmed modes, and 7 different colours. (Red, green, blue, white [red/green/blue], cyan [green/blue], purple [red/blue], yellow [red/green])

1st mode: Cycles quickly though the solid red/green/blue

2nd mode: Cycles quickly though cyan/yellow/purple

3rd mode: Fades in an out slowly (nice smooth transitions) between all the colours.

4th mode: Flashing white

5/6/7/8th mode (respectively): Solid white/red/green/blue

Comes with a small control box which is easily hidden. On the fronts I just cable tied to the plastic underneath the engine bay, rear I double sided taped to the fuel tank, then used silicone to fill the gap up. There is a grommet in the boot somewhere you can push the wires through and run into the car. I just tapped into a constant positive power source inside the fuze box (so I didn't have to run an inline fuze) and draws about 300mA on idle, nothing to be worried about if you drive your car daily, but if it is a weekend car I would go into an accessories power source.

Obviously the other LED strips are the solid whites, I haven't seen any 1000 colour leds around ever.

PS. Haters gonna hate.

I just bought two sets off ebay, 5m reel, waterproof, cutable every 3cms i think it is, can rejoin by simply soldering them with wires and putting some silicone or some sorta weather shielding around it, has a remote with a shitload of colours and flash settings etc

cost me around $30 i think it was

ended up putting one set around a big canvas for my sisters room via a AC/DC converter

still have one set sitting here but cbf putting them in the car

looks like this

I don't see why there is so much hate. I rarely turn them on, you can't see them if I don't. It's mainly just for people who don't know about imports who are like "OH IT'S LIKE THE ONE IN FAST AND FURIOUS!"

haha LOLZ. Nice smart car haha :domokun: FR34K... I've totally seen that car driving around. haha. anyway each to their own cos HATERZ GUNNA HATE =] I've always had a soft spot for them I don't reckon they look that bad. I reckon some people's bodykits look shit but I don't go whinging to them how they should change to this bar or that. So you all can shut ya gobs. :yucky: Don't get me wrong fellas. I love each and eeveryone of you. And ladies. Excuse me. Where are my manners? Sometimes my chivalry goes astray, much like a commodore with big chromies. haha anyway I know about imports. I just like the look of them as stated. Don't care if you don't. Not your car. Also there's a magical invention called a switch where I can turn them off :D Technology... Amazing these days hey? :P @Al Despo - (who's real name is also Alex) I knew this was coming. haha. I've seen other threads/just know what others with JDM cars think of them. @Voncina - Had a look on Jaycar's website...I found a kit for $60 as stated. But no white on there. Red, blue, green only or some sh!t. And no cycles mentioned in the description either. You able to find them anywhere? Here's the Jaycar link. http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SL3955

OMG!! HILARIOUS (and that's an understatement) description! All you H4T3RZ had best take a look for the lolmuffins to fill your stomach til you throw up. You'll love that shit.

and once again... just LOL at the smart car :D

That is the kit that I was talking about above. I know it isn't mentioned in the description, that is why I took the time and effort to post all that crap about them.

And cheers man, as I said above, I rarely have them on, it's mainly for show for people who aren't used to the JDM scene. Doesn't bother me when people hate.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
