I'm pretty confident the blits ones are legit, they come with a letter of approval etc..

Here's the site for those interested: http://www.blitsbodykits.com.au/index.php?pr=Shop_Now

To answer the weight question, a friend of mine has one on his R34 and it's quite heavy still. A little lighter than standard but because it has the skeleton etc that keeps the weight up there.

I have a ADR approved fibre glass bonnet, I got mine from DMD there alot heavier than standard bonnets the bonnet itself wieghs 15- 20 kg's.

But having it ADR approved has saved me a few times with the police, just have to keep the paperwork in the car at all time that relates to that particular bonnet

Let me explain something folks.

There is no such thing as ADR approvals.

The best you can hope for is that a business constructs/fabricates/builds in accordance with relevant ADR/s and so marks the item as meeting the specific ADR/s.

There is no specific organisation that actually goes around testing everything to give "ADR Approval".

Of course a business that falsely label an item as meeting the ADRs is in breach of a number of acts including Trades Practices.

there is such a thing as adr approval, it's not a specific company that does the testing. It's that they must have certain test's run on the component to meet adr regulations then once they have been done. ADR then approves the part by giving it an ADR number.

All automotive part makers need ADR approval before selling an item to fit to a road registered car as a legal part...

No there is not a company that tests stuff call "ADR" but the maker needs to supply test information to get an ADR approval...

Been there done that :)

Worked part time as a kid in dads shop :worship: I think I only got like 20cents a day, ripoff.

But I guess when your 7-8 years old a days work is really just eating lunch and trying not to look directlly at people welding... :)

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
