yeap illegal, cant go driving around without a front bar they will slap ya with a nice yellow decal to suit (as it will look like you just drove out of a nice minor front ender and your bar was left at the scene) :ermm:

Ill be driving my 32r around without a bumper to workshops over the next couple days. If cops pull me over ill be explaining the troubleshooting process.. theyd have to be bastards to sticker it. Trouble is.. they just sticker you for anything so its a risk.

Just because it might do more damage wouldn't make it illegal.. Bull bars are legal. But pedestrians would probably get sliced up when you try to run them over I guess

actually only some bull bars are legal

you can not have massively oversized t wing spoilers for the same reason... they take pedestrians heads off

yeap thats exactly it, why risk getting a yellow (and the whole process of taking your car through the pits etc) just for a stoopid front bar which wasnt fitted, not worth it.

if your just driving home from a workshop without a frontbar im sure it will be ok.

just drive normal, and if i cop pulls you over explain it just come from the workshop etc... i did it when i had to tow the car to the workshop then i was able to drive it home (took off the frontbar to make it easier for the tow-truck)

I drove around in my old car (VT wagon) for a week or 2 without a front bumper. Didnt have any problems. . not sure if cops saw me or not but didnt get pulled over while it was off. But yeah im pretty sure it is illegal for reasons like dan mentioned. And yeah im pretty sure no bonnet is illegal too

what about no bonnet. sometimes i have had to drive to the welder or muffler men without a bonnet. for them to do turbo work etc?

What. f**k. The. I would imagine it to be as legal as driving without doors on the car. :wave:

And in case you are serious that you don't leave your car at a workshop to be worked on, isn't the smartest idea to drive without a bonnet with all your wiring, spinning belts & fans & everything else exposed.

Its all illegal, as Dan put it...over the roof and a cool story or loose the legs. Have a look at a street driven hotrod like a T-bucket... blacked out fenders...and the plods give them easier time than imports. *...must be something to do with age*

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
