Im thinking of getting the frount fenders with the air vent behind the wheel. Iv been told that i have 2 options fiber glass or my fenders with molded vents, are these a defect? Also with side mirrors im thinking of putting m3 mirrors on, are these a defect aswell? Im doing up my body as im waiting for a new custom paintjob so any feed back will be great.

Cheers

Dave

In the Transport SA’s modification guide under Spoilers & Wheel Guard Flares it reads:

Cosmetic body modifications are permitted without Transport SA approval and inspection provided that they are carried out with regard to the safety of the driver and other road users. There must not be any sharp edges that could increase the severity of injuries to pedestrians.

In regards to the side mirrors there should be a section in the Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Rules 1999 Regulation, which can be DL :). But, might be quicker if you ring up Regency or the like.

Panels aren't structural, unless it's a monocoque design, and Skylines aint.

But the pedestrian safety issue is an interesting one, particularly in relation to insurance.

Im sure thou SA would have some problem with it! our state seems to have the most problems with anything to do wid cars!

I have never seen anyone defect for flared front fenders or the mirrors as you do see them around but can only see how you go I guess or get regency to inspect it and give you the ok....

No your State isnt to bad actually...... over in NSW you have to get everything engineered if you want to keep it on your car but it doesnt cost as much to engineer as it would in Adelaide...

If ya don't mined a read, this might give you some idea of SA's attitude towards moding your car.

Modifications to Passenger Cars

Ya might wanna have a look at page 18 on. The end of page 19 has a little on Spoilers and Wheel Guard Flars.

Good luck and happy moding ;)

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
