^^^ lolz thats funny as...

neons are so gay man...i cringe whenever i see some one with them on..especially if they are excels/lancers/civics...yes for show but not for the road...then again i would never put them on a show car.

fast and the furious was like 7 years ago wasn't it

have fun with the cops, I have not seen a car with underglow neons in years, I assume they have all been dicked.

More likely then that, they don't have them turned on on the street :P

I dunno why people have to voice such an opinion over this, it's not your car, it's not your choice. Same rule applies to every mod.

well yeah that too, but doesnt 'Tyson' want them for street use....

i mean yeah you can have em for show but for street theres just no point these days unless you wanna show em to your mates in your garage, their classified as being illegal due to distraction to others drivers etc.

its easy.. go to autobarn.. i had the ones that go with the sound.. engine revs.. fading.. always on.. costs $300.. you can screw it to the body.. or side skirts.. mine stayed on even when the ignition is off... just run it to a switch

i had them in my vt.. so flame away lol.. but it was built as a show car and let me tell you.. it won't pick up chicks.. maybe 7-10yrs ago it would have but in todays age.. your prob gonna get laughed at...

they arent hard to hook up.. run the wires into the transformer.. and then to a switch.. the switch needs power (run off a fuse.. and then ground the earth wire.. done..

oh and they are the neon bars not the led ones.. where bouts in brisbane are you?

Oh true, if autobarn sells them i'll have to check it out. To be honest if i can get neons that are always on for cheaper than ones that change with the music etc then i'd rather just go with always on. I prefer them always on, if the fading feature etc came with it for free then i'd be like whatever but i don't want to pay extra for it lol. Does autobarn sell underbody neon kits? or do you have to buy all the parts seperate? I live on the North side of Brisbane in North Lakes.

Also those cars with the neons look awesome that were posted by the two other people (forgot your names sorry and i suck at multi-quoting).

I looked up Streetglow, those neon sets sound good. If i can't get any neon sets locally then i'll definately get them through that site.

that is a sweet 34 :(

99% of people on here have some form of illegal modification.... and their cars are street driven.... do you idle your car in the garage to show it off?

The point is, almost any modification is illegal these days, and if its not, im sure if you get pulled over, the cop will try and tell you it is anyway, some call it rice, some call it style, its all in the eye of the beholder so to speak. If you know its illegal but still want it, just be careful how you use it and everyone is happy :P

yes autobarn should still sell the normal underbody neons..

they come in a kit.. as you need a transformer to run them.. (comes in box).. north side too far for me.. i wanted the under car neons for the skyline to turn on when you open the door.. (then off if its closed of course) cause i thought thats a nifty trick.. and its not like the po po will harrass over that.. but then yeah i realised... VT seemed ok for them but not for my skyline.. prob cause yeah 5-7yrs ago they were the in thing but i'm over them now..

i don't mind/care/flame anyone with them on just not for the look i want on my line

Thanks, i'll check out autobarn. Hopefully they sell them, how big are transformers? The neon kits on streetglow have in-built transformers. I looked up the autobarn website and theres a store in caboolture so yeah not too far from me.

that is a sweet 34 :huh:

99% of people on here have some form of illegal modification.... and their cars are street driven.... do you idle your car in the garage to show it off?

some statistics you got there ey, my point was that with neons you have a much higher chance of getting pulled over because your are showing the world your 'illegal' mod. Its a visual aspect of the car where as most of the illegal stuff people have on here is 'usually' under the hood. Yeah you can still get done for it but you also have the chance of not getting pulled over in the first place.

Either way its up to the owner if their willing to take that risk.

LOL!

Bonus GT Spoiler for that one.

I have one of those too :huh: normally it's only for show as well but changing the lock over is damn hard :P

I think the only time outside a show or private event I have had them on, is turning up to a meet... I would never (purposefully) drive with them on, my car stands out enough kthx

mine are used only for shows, never on the street, mind u i have seen some fully sik commonwhores with them on driving around and its like "your asking for it big time".

but yeah, i actually got mine from super cheap for 79 bucks when they were on special.

in the end its up too the owners choice on whether they want to do something to their car that everyone probably will hate. ive done it plenty of times and really couldnt give twoo shites.

just to add something to the mix guys,

UNDERBODY NEONS WHILST ON ARE NOT ILLEGAL TO HAVE WHILE DRIVING

to be not illegal there are some rules:

-no leds or neons are allowed to be colour changeable, only 1 solid colour

-neon tube/light source must not be visible, only the glow onto the road

-must not flash like a stobe or be seen as a distraction to other drivers

-must not be blue, red or white like police car lights. others colours ok. pink, purple, green, yellow, gold etc

-glow of light not exceed past car more than 1/2metre in all directions

-not allowed in areas such as parcel shelf, open front grills, door pillars and the like

ALL THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN TOLD TO ME BY A FRIEND WHO IS A COP WITH 35YRS EXP. NOT GOSPEL BUT GOOD AS.

also regulations may change in other states, this would b relevant to vic only

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
