The reason i ask this is because I got done for having neons fitted underneath my car, they were not on. But apparently it does not matter whether u turn them on or not it is illegal just to have them fitted. I've been told that it is a load of crap and some agree with the copppa. I was wondering if anoyone else actually knows for sure that they are illegal to be fitted?

I've heard (in WA at least) that it is legal to have them provided that you can't actually see the tube sticking out from under the car. Limos have them over here, and so do party buses. So if people/businesses like these can have them, why not cars? I've also heard of being able to obtain a permit for these, kind of like an engineers certificate or something?

As a member of Victoria police it is my knowledge that you can have them under your car and turned on as long as they don't flash. You can't have differnt coloured lights in brakes, parkers or any other safety lighting. You can't have red lights facing forward. That's just my knowledge in Victoria but these things change about every 6 months. It annoying to drivers and police alike. I would not recommend them though as it just calls out to be pulled over and put off the road for something else though.

Yeah, just moving from victoria to nsw, the rules are different, in victoria most police say they are legal (and a few said they looked cool) but in nsw they arent. Saying that, i couldnt pass a roadworthy in victoria with them fitted, i had to take them off. So there is my 2 cents worth

in QLD, there is no law written on the use of neon lighting underneath a car...i phoned qld transport :)

however, if they are on, they can be distracting (they all will be according to law enforcers), they cannot be blue, red or even white (i think) as they are reserved for emergency vehicles

as for having them fitted and not actually on, you should be fine, get a notice from qld transport or look in the TORUM VSS (vehicle safety standards) :spank:

Yes. They are legal in WA aslong as you can not see the tube itself.

Yep, Red and blue cannot be used, as for some reason can be mistaken for police lights. How so i have no diea. White is not alowed for some odd reason. Havent really looked into it.

I think you cant use orange aswel. Because they use orange for road sweapers, and RAC 4x4's and such.

White (I assume) would not be allowed because it could be mistaken for reverse lights... <_<

Damn ADRs...

      CV Axle boot torn, what are my options?

      By Duncan · Posted

      rebuilding is a straightforward option too, the only thing to keep in mind is non-genuine boots are likely to be much worse quality rubber and need replacing about 10x as often.

      Yeah, great guy that Matt, giving very comprehensive emails with quick responses. He told me it’ll be plug and play for the ECU, which may potentially get me out on track at 600kph by the end of the month or June.    Anyone wanna buy a HKS SLD..

      Replacement clutch recommendation for an R32 GTR

      By Butters · Posted

      I was looking into the uniclutch, as something that doesn't rattle, dampens and holds horsepower is the dream.   They didn't seem super confident on the power holding though.  Could just be covering themselves, which is understandable.   "The 10in sport Uniclutch can handle a peak of 1100Nm at the flywheel, not sure how that translates to HP. As for the power output of your engine, I would suggest holding for the UniClutch Track, I feel the 1000HP will have a higher torque rating then what the Sport will be able to handle, We have fitted prototype track clutches to a number of street/track test vehicles now and have found pedal effort to be reasonable. It is very similar to OE pedal feel. and would fall within the torque capacity of the Uniclutch Track."   The track clutch loses the dampening and rattles(?) I believe though.... don't quote me

      Help on identifying r31 GTS-X with vin

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I think this is applicable for most. My car was ~2,000,000 JPY in 2020 Total expenses are around ~5,000,000 JPY excluding fuel. Selling price could be anywhere between ~5,000,000 JPY to ~7,000,000 JPY depending on how desperate the American. Sure, I could have stored it in that time but there are still storage costs “carry costs” as we call it in industry - insurance, garage, electricity, maintenance, etc. and possibly made 100% (nominal return), but I don’t think that’s why most of us are here. Apologies for the deviation.
