Ok, so we're talking about Neons - are we not? OK, if that's the case, I'll have to intervene... Neons are gay big time - RICE - all show bull shit... however, if you have neons inside the car just to light up under the dash then that's creative in some ways (personally don't like them at all) - however, under the car is a no no IMO... you can't turn them on whilst driving or the cops will dick you big time as they're illegal for street use - and just to light them up whilst stationary at Macca's for example is a waste of cash... 1 more thing - put them too ligh and they will be exposed which is gay big time and going over humps they may even break... don't know about you guys, but for me - undercar neons are just a no no...!

Did you goto school mate? You seem to struggle using a keyboard for some reason.

Neons are

1. pretty gay

2. A final ( final cosmetic mod) that you CAN do to add 5 stars of wank to your machine. I'm pretty sure i'd only add some if I did have some crazy yellow, pink or green paint job.. but your call.

^^^ ahahahahahhahah

what about if you put it on top? blue and red ones? they look nice together, i'm sure the cops will appreciate the color, it's like "police represent"....

^^^ Biggest LOL ever!!! Sound like Ali G

IMO - neons is not worth it - but each to their own. If you are putting them for under the car lighting, be prepared to have them stolen. Thats why its best to go for cheap ones if possible. Isnt driving with neons on illegal too?

the only thing i dislike about under car neons is the light spread...it would be good if they could shoot all the way across the front and all the way down the side.

Are the multicolour ones on eBay any good (LED)? What parts a good neon from a shit one? same electrics; LED aren't common to blowing.

And about the neons being gay...waste of money? Can't use them while driving; Why put all this money into making the engine faster and making the exhaust louder, cuz at the end of the day your only aloud to do the speed limit and only aloud to have a car so loud. 4 Gees on doing an engine up to do 110 max on the street or 300 bucks to turn heads, i know which way I'd go.

But yeah you can take the car to a strip and flog the guts out of your car, it's legal, well I'm sure you can turn your lights on down the strip.

i was told it is legal to have them on while driving but your not allowed to see the actual neon tube. Also i was told cops will more likely have a go at you if you have red or blue at the front of the car (because of the emergency lights) and it can confuse other people, but other colours are fine from what i hear

I think your not allowd to have emergency colours

Blue - Police

Red - Police, fire, ambo

White - Ambos, Fire

Purple - Department of Transport

But if you wanted to could use underbodys as normal lights; Red at the back when u brake, flashing amber on side for indicator, and white at the front

something tells me that you would not be allowed to use the regular colours as under body neons...

and as for driving with neons on, that is ONLY interiors, and only if the bulb can not be seen from outside the car... providing it hasn't been changed lately...

Agree 100% too...

Motor wise my car is totally stock, and dad has trouble keeping up with me in his work car... ...BTW... ...Dad's work car has lots of pretty blue and white stickers and lots of flashing lights... ...and most people will stop for him when he puts in behind them...

I have got a couple of those 30cm slimline Cold Cathode tubes off ebay in the "computer section". They are easy to wire up and give off good light. By the way i only got them to light up the area where ur feet go to help ya see where ya feet go at night when ya open the doors.

This is all I was thinking of doing. Just the black lights.. nothing stupid, just enough light to light the foot wells up. Cant see anything wrong with doing that.

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
