It's not factory, so you can get picked up for it.

But it'll take an asshole.

Throw in a small switch on your switch board (if you have one) which you can use to turn them on/off as you need. Turn them on for show, and off for general driving.

Ah k yeah makes sense then. Will put a switch on it i think, good call dude. Cheers for advice :)

I think it won't be illegal if you make it work like a brake light.

So it's dim when you have your headlights on but it goes brighter as you brake.

Also, it has to be red.

Yeah that makes sense. where would i be able to find out for sure?

go and talk to the people who you are worried about getting booked by :thumbsup: highway patrol if you can...i dont see what wrong with it if it is working as a functioning brake light..but i dont know about having a blue light next to the red ones on the back of the car, they might not agree with that :glare:

Blue lights on a car are illegal - emergency vehicle colour.

Any red lights can only point rewards - brake light colour.

Any white lights can only point forwards - head light colour.

Pretty sure that law is the same in any state of Australia. There are grey areas but we don't need to go into them for this.

So do it red and you will have no problem what so ever.

F*** lol. i just siliconed the blue led on the car ! gunna be a pain in the ass to get off! but i suppose its worth it! Other alternative is to have blue and red and be able to turn em on and off wen i want. on separate switches tho.

Mine is red and only comes on with the brake lights.

I've had coppers behind me at lights many times. No problems so far.

If I do get pinged,

My argument would be, to remind drivers behind me :it's a Skyline so back off : you're only gonna lose anyway ! :action-smiley-069:

So urs comes on only when u press the pedal or its 2 toned, as in its dim and then goes bright on pedal press?

Haha fkn good arguement! hilarious!

No, not two tone, just comes on with brakes.

Two tone you'll need two sets of leds ?

I wouldn't do it anyway, cops might argue if it's on all the time people may mistake it for a brake light and brake suddenly.

To make it bright for Braking and normal/dim not braking. Wire the tail light and brake light to the LEDs. Put an extra resistor (you'll have to determine how big yourself) and a Diode in series on the tail lighy wire and just a diode on the brake wire.

    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32  
    • Nice. I'm looking forward to the updates!
    • Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.
    • Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
