hi all,

im looking at getting a set of veilside skirts and rear bumper and have got a decent price on it,

my only concern is the fact its fibreglass, are they legal in VIC?

is fibreglass any good or do they crack etc?

i have heard they are illegal but then pft who cares. I'm not 100% sure wether they are or not though.

IM with u, im sure if u go pulled over in your skyline they they would worry about a thousand other things before your kit.

Just DO IT!!!!

I dont really think it is.

When i smashed my car my fiberglass front bar was absolutely shattered in peices on the ground, the cop never said anything to me. If it was a big issue i would say he would have fine med on the spot because i can assure you he did want to fine me on the spot but he had nothing to get me for.

well i have contacted vicroads and they gave me the go ahead for a fibreglass front bar/skirts/rear bar so long as they are 10mm of the ground, have all lights still visable and dont extrude from the car in a dangerous manner....SO ITS ALL GOOD!!!!

word of warning a fibreglass bonnet or carbon fibre cannot be used unless you have an engineering cert as it effects the cars crumble zone

well after the ok from vic roads i ordered just the side skirts alone to see the quality from fibrecrazy, and i must say they were exceptional. Also considering i ordered them yesterday or recieved them that night, the guy made a specical effort to personally deleiver them to my front door at 9.00.

Here are the pics and if anyone wants to see what they look like on the car (veilside e1), mind you these are just sittiin on the car without sickaflex or self tappers so im real happy. Now i have to get the front lip and rear so once i get that, by the end of the week hopefully i can get her booked in to get sprayed

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
