Hey guys, has anyone found the ruling on neons in nsw, i cant find a good description, help please, coz i need something on paper so if i get pulled up i can show it to the cop

Having Neons on ur car is just asking to get pulled over anyway... Plus their Gay.

neon lights are the bomb !!! haha, or not.

yes midnight is correct, you can get booked for even having foglamps on while there is no fog. hmmm, as for neons, well they are illegal in victoria. plus if they are red or blue well they are an even worse problem. they mite mistake ur loud farting honda civic with pumping music washer bottle lights and neons as a cop car.... ummm yes ok

so they are outright illegal in VIC? ive always heard different stories...so it'd be good to get the facts

1 guy told me you're allowed to have them on, as long as they dont pulsate/strobe etc.....

i assume you're allowed to have them on while parked ...

I have heard lots of things, like green neons are legal because they are not blue or red. ie, confuse with a cop car. I personally think they can make a car look really tacky, esp those cheap ones you can buy. I spose they cant do anything if they know you have them, and they arent on. But as far as i know, they are illegal in the streets, only legal at show offs and comps etc.

Ring up vicroads and get some more different answers ;)

the part about red etc, i heard that was because red can only be on the back of a car ie brake lights, and not on the front ie those stupid light up water jets....

either way, no neons will ever go on my car...maybe some interior 1's, but thats all....i like the idea of some UV light in the footwells.

dezz, if u want an idea, have a look at the vs calais (not sure on other models) But those things come factory with green neons inside the cabin, hehe. Not really, but they are lit up a green color.

Doesnt look too bad, i guess the main problem with neons in cabin is the brightness, need to make it a more subtle glow i would think to make it look decent

the trick with neons which most people seem to miss, is that you want to mount them so you cant see the neon bar itself at all. you only want to see the glow

so when putting them in footwells etc, you have to tuck them up under the dash, and then you'll just get the glow and not the shocking brightness of the bar.

my TX5 has red interior lights in the doors, and it looks mad before they fade out (when doors close) but UV is mad with what it does to white.

In NSW the bonnet squirters are illeagal to have wired in to a power source or even with a toggle switch to turn them off/on.

But they are allright if their purpose is soley to squirt water.nothing else.

That is also what i heard about the lights if they are on some1 may mistake you for a cop?!?

Neons in NSW are legal if you have white on the front, orange on the side and red on the back. Same goes for any other lights. Obviously looks crap.

If you have other neons, it is legal to have them on as long as your car is parked, the engine is off, the doors are locked and you have your keys in your pocket.

Sounds weird but this is what I've been told by coppers.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
