i like LEDs/Neons, though as with anything it can be done the good way or the bad way.

i have seen 4WDs with them and that is just silly.

i have a particular setup in mind for mine and i still think they are as much for the driver as they are for anyone viewing your car. though in saying that, i don't really care whether anyone else likes my car as it is an expression of myself.

some of these points people have made about you not seeing them... what about bodykits? rims? etc... why bother with a style at all?

-if i owned a GTR i would remove all badges, even the GTR badges. some people will think that crazy but i don't like badges, i know it's a GTR and that is all that matters.

omg a hummer? wtf?! theyre nuts. LOL

ive seen neons of a jacked up 4by, that was a good laugh, looked ridiculous but it was funny.

Seen neons on lil jap/korean cars with no other mods, driven by old people. funny.

seen a Bus driving around kings park etc with blue underbody neons

The line of sepparation occurs along the performance and knowledge areas of someones background, I am guessing here. Most guys even under 20's who are performance enthusiasts would knock back neons. On the other hand young people who are after a car for an image and are caught up in fads more readily go the neons.

Agreed, I'm 18 very performance orientated, do mostly my own work, and would never have neons. by the time my car is 'finished' you won't be able to tell it from a stocker, love the sleepers.

Not a fan of neons, too much 'look at me' value, and is asking for you to be pulled over.

ahh the mighty can of worms thread seems to turn up evry 3-4 months

do what you want if you like how it looks go for it but be prepared for others to hate it

mates a commonwhore fan (hes owned like12) i love imports and four bangers we pull the piss constantly but respect each others choices

is it only blue neons that are legal over there or anything? they attract all the wrong attention here (melbourne) if you use em on the street though, from vandals and from cops.

always wanted to install yellow LED's under the car, in two halves divided down the middle of the car... lots of em, and wire em up to the indicators so when you turn half your car lights up :)

LoLz....most young people like neons. Generally, the older citizens of this nation do not appreciate them as much. Pehaps the "subcultural" group he is trying to gain the attention of are the youth of today, and not that of the older, more mature generation? :)

crap

i have neons in my footwells and i like the look of them on some cars

Good on Mirks for making his car how he wants its and not bowing to pressure to conform. "RICE is in the eye of the beholder"

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
