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.

he would have had to be a real heartless bastard if he fined u for anything

lmfao trust me he was an asshole

He turned around to me and said that if it had of been dry he was gonna fine me on the spot he didnt even ask me what happened or if i was ok he just walked straight up to me and said that.

when i smashed my 33 a few weeks back..i had no dramas formt he cops...they were quite helpfull...and were only concerned about my safety....lol wet+r33+boost=trouble.

good new is new front bar and stuff...gonna look sweet.

The VS one is ok but i never been a fan of VS...the rear looks good tho...but on the R33 it looks nicer than than when I had one on my fto...in the end I went custom now it rocks....urs is gonna be sweet.

eh? illegal? now thats the first time i heard its illegal =S it wont really bother the cops because as abusd mention they will sus out other things, and the only illegal part i know to be fabricated with fiber glass is the bonnet as mavric had mentioned. sooo... JUST DO IT! get the whole kit ^^

well ive got a d-speed front lip, veilside skirts and geniune east bear rear pods..and its booked in to get painted up and fitted this week, so hopefully it will be ready this sat or early next week.

im getting the kit sanded, hi filled, paint match, supplied and fitted for $550, which has taken me around 20-30 phone calls to get but its the best price i got and the work shop is pretty good from what ive heard, ill post the pics of the kit in fibreglass form prob tomorrow and ill post the pics next week with the kit on the car, so u guys can get ideas if u planm to use any of the same panels :P

well the skirts photos are on pg1. Here is the front lip which i purchased from powerplay imports , and i must say the fit was perfect.. It may not look it in the pics, as the lip didnt fit first shot as it hit my aftermarket cooler pipes, and inturn the sides stuck out, so i am getting it cut and sprayed today.

also here is a pic of the east bear rear pods on the car, as these are geniune they fit like a glove, and match up on the factory panels seemlessly. in this pic still had those black plastic things on the back of the guard so it didnt fit, but once i removed it, it sat like a champ

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
