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

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

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!"

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.

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.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
