Dude if you wanna put em in i'd say get a pro to do it. Thats mainly cause i'm too friggin lazy to work on my own car at all

My main question is why did u buy neons before you bought the car?? Dats like me buying a full intercooler kit for my r33 before i'd bought it yet.

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

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      By Gantai · Posted

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
