Hey Guys

Firstly... Name's Woody and I'm new on these forums, some people may know me already from SilviaWA but for those that don't... hello!

I'm sorry if this has been covered before, I tried a search but only came up with NSW info.

I'm looking at selling my beloved S13 and moving into an R34, the car I'm looking at buying has a carbon fibre bonnet. I'm aware ADR allows for cars built prior to 1996 to have fibreglass or carbon fibre bonnets but I was just wondering how many people have gotten away with having one?

Cheers

Woody

Hi Woody - i think you live across the road from me :)

P.s. I'd only worry about it if you get a yellow sticker for it - then just swap it out :)

Hey, yep I do >_< I'm sharing a townhouse with Clint aka CCEG.

I was considering doing that but I've had enough when it comes to yellow stickers to be honest haha. Whether I like it or not I may just have to test my luck.

...well now you do >_<

if you really want one, paint it the same colour as the car, or buy a black R34.

if he was going to do that then he probably would buy a fibre glass bonnet.... :)

just do it, its not something that gets overly picked on i dont think,

p.s. your s13 is hot :)

u'll definately get done by the popos

i wanted to get a cf bonnet b4 but ma frd told me that they dont' allow coz it's too dangerous in an accident or sumthin so i rang and asked the guy at the pits if they were legal n if u get permits n he said they are illegal =(

shame woulda loved a cf bonnet:P

quick Questiooon..so if u own a car pre 1996... you can put a carbon hood on it?! or must it come factory with carbon/fibreglass?

CHEERS >_<

Nash it doesn't quite work like that... It’s not actually a written rule but moreso a technicality, and I got it wrong by a year… Apparantly under ADR 069 vehicles weren’t crash tested until 06/1995 so only cars that were manufactured after 06/1995 are required to comply. So any car built before that date can get away with having fibreglass/carbon fibre panels, some people I know have permits for their bonnets. Obviously this doesn't mean your insurance company or angry police officer will agree.

Pretty siked i got a 94 atm! haha. good thing a angry police man can't tear up a laminated permit eh. haha

if its not gna be for your cf bonnet itl be for your rims being to wide or tires being diffrent widths front and rear(been done for this). you dont modify a car to keep it with in the law otherwise they all be stock. just keep your factory bonnet and swap it over when you get a yellow.basically if they wana be c@nts they give you a yellow for anything.

can still give you a yellow sticker, regardless of permits. :domokun:

a yellow sticker is given when they have reason to believe your car is unroadworthy, regardless of it is or not.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
