    I've known Richo for a while too, highly recommend him to anyone.

    All my work gets done there and will continue to be getting done there.

    Nah mate, Grey 32 GTR, c/f bonnet (reason for defect). Hasn't been running properly for quite a while now, should be back on the road soon though. I've got to give him a call today actually.

    yeah ur plate def needs to be straight not sloped back even having it to the left or rite on the edge of the bumper is no good either thats not visible by cameras aswell...u want to stop getting hassled over it get a slimline one and stick it where it should be in the middle on the top of the bumper.

    had mine on the side and got warned once was enuf for me to get a slim line and put it where it is clearly visible in the middle .

    How does that work? Evo 6's came out with the number plate mount built into the left side of the front bar, specifically to free up airflow to the intercooler

    ok the reason 3lit3 32 gave was correct (frontal impact test) However the date is wrong....the law was passed in 95 so pre 1994 cars are legal with a cf bonnet but post 95 cars are not.

    If that is the case, then they had no right to defect my car :kiss:

    keep in mind that these laws were brought in to save lives, a cf bonnet does make your car more dangerous to pedestrians and you and your passengers. and really, its not that much lighter.

    Do you have a link to where you got that info? Wouldn't mind having a read

    Carbon fibre bonnets are illegal unless fitted to a vehicle prior to (I think) 1992 when ADR 69 came out (Full frontal impact occupancy protection). Any vehicle after that date fitted with a CF bonnet must be engineered. The engineered bonnet must have passed front and side collision test on the exact model of vehicle it is fitted to. Like n15mo said....Custom Carbon and DMD do make legal engineered ones for 32 and 33. They cost around $2000 from memory but you cannot be touched when you own one of these.

    Yeah, I had someone else tell me something about that too. Might have to check it out, mine's an '89 GTR.

    Terry, I got done on Milton Rd outbound at an RBT check point, they had a few Qld transport guys there checking out all the Jap cars

    I've been in Qld for only a few weeks & on Saturday night my car was issued with a defect notice due to having a Carbon Fibre bonnet.

    In NSW this has never been an issue, and I was wondering if anyone on here might know whether it is possible to get an Engineers Certificate for these bonnets?

    Also if it is possible, who might be able to do it for me?

    Seeing as there are so many cars around with Carbon Fibre parts I figured there must be a way around this defect situation.

    Can anyone help?
