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.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
