in 2 weeks is uni holidays for me :D and i have decided that i want to install red or blue neon lights under my car, however, i want to install it so the lights are wired up with the interior light.

this way when i get in and out of the car the lights will come on :) and they wont be on when im driving :( (im sure its illegal)

has anyone wired up neons like this before? does anyone know how to wire them up? would you be so kind as to explain to me how i might go about doing it? :)

also i might try and wire it so i can turn them on or off with an overide switch so they don't go on during the day, or so i can leave them on if i want :)

anyway any suggestions would be much appreciated :) thanks!

Ok, I would use a relay and put it near the lights, then run a power source from your interior light to the relay, in this line is where I would probably put a switch, saves you trying to run another line back into the cabin to switch the -ve side. Just earth the relay to somewhere good in the engine bay, and take the source from somewhere like the starter motor :D

my friend has done it to his car ... its ricey but hey ... looks pretty sweet ... just don't do it like the commodores u see where they don't stick the neon right under the car but near the bottom so that u can see the actually neon light ... i think it looks best when u only see the neon light reflection of the gound ... :) show us some pics when u have it done :D

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
