Selling a new carbon fibre bonnet for a R32 GTR $500.

Need to sell local, as it is to hard to send.

Pm or phone me on 0410688686 to have a look at it (I'm in Torrens).

Cheers

LOL shut up. Me wanty already.... Bank account currently not as healthy as it once was!!! If I get one of these I want it to be ADR (or whatever they are called) approved too....

I do love it though :P

lol - the lads at dickson pits had no issues when i went over. There only concern is that its secured properly and the Pins wont cause extra damage to the pedestrians as they hit the front of the car and roll up the bonnet...

Might be a case of who you get on the day. I worded them up about this maybe 2 years ago when I had to get some damage repaired on my bonnet (something flew off a truck and hit me!) and they said they wouldn't pass me and it wasn't legal unless I could prove it was ADR approved...

It's ok, I have done enough to how my car looks for now!

Heavens forbid they cop a bit of a skin rash on the way up and over!

Cops have told me that carbon fibre/fibre glass bonnets are now a defectable item when i got pulled over for RBT. He also said if traffic pulled me over at defect station it would be a fine and a trip to the pits just for having a carbon fibre bonnet. I'm looking for a new bonnet as my current one had cracks in it from prev owners damage, but they are only surface cracks, but I'm saving for holiday currently.

I think it's defectable because it has not been engineered/approved for the car.

Something like, the bonnet meets ADR specifications but the modification of the car has not been passed by an engineer and ACT Roads.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
