hey guys in all honesty he never asked what any of you thought of them, he just wanted to know if he could and where he could get them fitted!

Lets not show the new members a hard time, everyone is entitled to their own style, personally i think CF bonnets look kinda funny, but its not your car, so please don't harass the guy for having diffent tastes to you!

Lets just support everyone in what they want to do and not bag them out.

Sorry Philmak, i cant answer your questions, but i just thought that ive seen this happen to too many people, and the thread end-up usesless due to whoring.

God Bless,

Nate

I FULLY AGREE!

Honestly, ive got em... Put em in myself and i recon it looks awsome, and EVERYONE who has seen em thinks nothing but the same..

There a bit of a bitch to put in yourself, if you have a hoist BONUS! if not then should still be ok... just mount them in the internat side of the sills. and run the wires up to power and a switch... will just take some time.., having a bodykit, i have the old Number plate frame, and i mounted the reat one to that (being behind the new bar).

Hope it hepls, and Good luck with the car!

I have a friend who has pledged there legal-ness! Claims he even wrote to VicRoads (i'm obviously only speaking for VIC here) asking them about Neons.

Neons, to some extents are legal as long as they are NOT RED, WHITE or FLASHING [NFS:U :D] I think the red and white ones *could* be mistaken for headlights/tail lights and confuse other drivers...

As such, all other colours are cool, but, he did say that they can only be fitted to the sides and not the rear or front of the car.

I personally don't mind the neons, i don't have them myself, i'd rather spend the money on other items for the car. What I really HATE are those nozzle washer LEDs that fit onto the bonnet.. they are TEH GHEY!

If you were gonna get it done professionally, it'd cost eleventy billion dollars...

:D:D:)

Hey, I bought heaps of shitt for my car B4 it arrived from Japan (4 months worth of shopping and impulse buying for a car 1000's of mile's away, I bet heaps of guys have done it)

Keep buying stuff for your car because then when you do get it (you are in the process right? If not I would save more!) you will have something to keep you busy and it will keep you focused on your goal >> getting your line! I'm not a big fan of the NEON though.

hey Philmak :D

Few people i know had full set of neons install on there cars, all of them got it done by pros costing around $100 to $200 (depends on how hard it is to install e.g if neons r 2 big)

I dont think it will be that hard if you got the kit, i watch someone install neons and it doesnt look too hard, i say give it ago if you cant do it just head over to your local stero shop and im sure they will do it.

note at the back the neon goes above the muffler, so really its not that hard, if ur having trouble due to aftermarket muffler size etc remove the rear bumper and it will make it easyer.

Also with r32 im not sure but with r33 it seem like u can hide the tubes on the side like in the side-skirt hard to explain, but if u have alook at ur car u will be able to understand what i am saying.

Power supply, cables etc arnt too hard to connect hide, and putting a switch inside the car is pretty easy also.

Good luck :D and if you need anymore help just ask dont worry about another posts :)

Thanks Mike

ohh yeah and neons being illegal not sure about out-side of WA, but here they are legal as long as they are not FLASHING and you cant see the tubes, thou friends still have problems from the cops

I dunno, why i bought them before i bought i car, I was bored one day and had money lying around so I was lyke y not...for kit of 2 *48 and 2*36....But come to think of i kinda do regret them, because you have to drilll holes into the underbody and all just to fit them in and all and the annoyance of cops on your arse...

Oh yeah I wrote to VICROADS a while ago asking the legitity of neons and i got a reply from them thou i can't locate the email atm, I'll be shure to post it up in this thread or the legitity thread...

Thanks again for all your help guys

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
