I've got a CF bonnet on mine and when I took it over the pits with it on there was no complaint and the car passed fine.....it wasn't stickered though....i was just transfering the rego from NSW plates....but ive been pulled over since and never been had for it.....although my car is gunmetal and it blends in quite nicely.

In hindsight though I probably wouldn't have bought one....only reason I got it was because I wanted more cooling with the vents for track days.

But cops can give you a yellow for just suspecting that there is something illegal about the car.....the fact that everything i have done (apart from the bonnet) has been very understated..(painted black etc) has helped me a lot when pulled off the road for simply driving.....when they crack open the bonnet all they see is a very stock looking engine bay and they forget all about the bonnet.....I don't have pods, I only have a black R32 GTR cooler with black piping, no polished anything, no bright coloured hoses, a very understated muffler etc

If the car is a colour that clearly shows the bonnet then I would probably steer clear of it.

how much was the east bear one?

the nismo one i got which i'm sure you know of weighs 6kg and cost just under $6k looks the shit though...

Looking at the standard of your 13, just farkin DO IT! When you get stickered then paint it! Its what i did back in the day to the 33R

Not sure on the cost as it was on the car Nathan but I'd hazard guess it was a heap cheaper! For example the east bear carbon fibre undertray costs $5k whereas the Nissan factory one or the GTR is supposed to be $13k!!!

I'm over worrying about it now haha

contact the DPI man, there is ther only way to know for sure, they'll probably have to research n get back to you.

ask to speak to the technical department, they'll know if you can "get away" with it or not

but regardless, if you get pulled over by police, and they deem it as illegal they give you the yellow sticker within their rights and you still have to get the car inspected, which is still a pain in the butt

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
