Errr, I've been thinking about ways of wiring up some neons for the under carriage. The most simple way is to hook up a fused lead from ya ciggie outlet in ya fuse box (this way, u can still use ya ciggie lighter), run that to some mirco switches (pick up from Tandy) in parallel, you can have one switch per light or one switch for all the lights, it all depends on how fancy u want it. just make sure they are all earthed properly otherwise you'll end up with a smoke show and not a light show.

One thing, by using the ciggie lighter outlet, you will not be able to have the neons on when the car is not on (reds) but if you take a fused lead from the battery, you can have the neons on independent of the car being on or not.

In QLD... neons inside or outside the car will cost you a $150 fine and one point...

I think the cops call the fine "being a wanker"....

Nah seriouslly, people with neons up here get laughed at.... Mainlly because there only found on excel's......

I did have 4x6 inch neons in one of my cars. In the front up under the dash and 2 under the front seats... To light up the foot wells...

All you need to do is run a parralell circuit off switches or off a door circuit as i did...

Remember its non-legal ligting and will cost you a fine if you are seen with them on...

flashing is illegal in all states as it can immitate emergency vechiles. Leds, i dont specifically know, i'd say they are legal as long as they are on the ONE colour. Chacing is also illegal due to it being "dazzling" its the ON / OFF as far as i know VIC is the most leaniant state on neons...which is surprizing

      R34 power steering

      I have done smoke test and can’t see any leak on high or low side.   checked pump and fluid can flow through. Removed the high pressure from steering and did smoke test and same on low side, no leak.   puzzled. Thinking why if it was all ok it suddenly went as car was off road for a year. Don’t want to disassemble pump yet as i can see fluid / air( compressor) can flow through with no issues

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
