In Reply To New Picture of my Z with the Neon lights installed!! posted by sbsTT.(MD) on March 22, 2002 at 11:42 AM
     
Message I will be setting up a GB on it soon. Or you can make your own kit at home using a few household supplies. This is the ghetto fabulous neon kit.

Ingredients:

12 packs Lime Jell-O
25 feet of 1/2" clear plastic tubing
30 hose clamps
30 black wire ties
2 6" pieces of wire.
6 9V batteries
2 1/2" rubber stoppers
2 pieces modeling clay

Prep:

prepare the jello according to the instructiuons on the box. Do not let it set though. Place one of the rubber stoppers in the end of the hose. Place a hose clamp on end of the tube to seal it up. Pour the Jello into the other end of the tubing until it is almost full. Make sure to work any air bubbles out as they will create holes in your neon effect. Run all the 29 remaining hose clamps onto the tubing. Plug the end of the tube and seal it with a hose clamp.

Next, take take the 6 9V batteries and tape then together 6-pack style; 2 sets of 3. Take 2 pieces of the wire and wire the batteries in series, all positive terminals connected, all negative terminals connected.

Mount to the Z:

Jack your Z up at all four corners. Take the "neon tube" and run it on the groundaround the edges of the Z, this will make install easier. Space out the hose clamps in even intervals on the tubing. Run the wire ties through the frame rails or something that will hold the tubing up, hell, drill holes if you have too, this stuff is TIGHT! Now lift the tubing up and run the wire tie through the hose clamps. This is so the wire ties to don't pinch the tubing and cause it to leak. Reapeat with all hose clamps until the tubing runs the perimeter of your undercarriage. Start getting excited because your neon is almost done! Now, get your "battery pack" and mount it under the rear of the car somehow. Tape it to the exhaust or something. Apply one piece of the modeling clay onto the tube. Run the positve (+) wire into the tubing through the clay. This will prevent a leak. Apply the other piece of clay to the tubing. Now get ready because as soon as you plug this wire in the neon will blaze! Run the negative (-) wire into the tubing through the clay and....BLING BLING!! Your ghetto fab neon is now a realty!

Now get to the illegals and show it off! Or pimp it to the club, whatever...you da man now!

If you want to get all technical and stuff, you could run the wires to the cars battery and put a switch in the cabin. But that takes too long and will keep your Honda buddies waiting too long. This is for all you "Show before Go" guys...you know who you are ;-)


This write has been brought to you by the words "rice" and "gay" and by the number 0. Much thanks go out to NissanRacing98 for thr great idea, and to all those who have the balls to screw up their Z's for Rice's sake. Rock on!

Zee Ya,
