R34 Vspec Ii Defected For Carbon Fibre Bonnet In Qld


Recommended Posts

Got defected down the Gold Coast yesterday for having a carbon fibre bonnet. R34 v spec II come out factory with a carbon fibre bonnet. It was complianced in NSW with a c/f bonnet, then road wortheyed in QLD as well. Yet I got defected. They wanted to see paperwork showing the bonnet had been complied. Is there somewhere in Qld that people know of, that have complied v spec II's. Any help will be much appreciated.

I was thinking that the other day.

How dumb is it, that you can have a car complied and RWC yet still get Defected?

The whole purpose of RWC = ROAD WORTHY...

Anyways cant help sorry mate, just saw it and felt the blood boil

speak to a compliance shop about it. shogun in brendale is a start. ISASO in meadowbrook is another. both have compliance for the R34.

hope these sites help you ?

see bold points.

also look inside your passneger door jamb. note the compliance shop that certified that car. call them. if it was QLD based I dare say its listed above.

Help so far sounds great, will chase it up tomorrow.

Hey Whitey, got done near Sea World resort.

I put a Z Tune style carbon fibre bonnet on it in place of the factory c/f one, so it stands out more. If a car was built for/ with a c/f bonnet, it shouldnt matter if you change the style of it, should it?

well not precisely, was the z tune stlye carbon china made? As a lot of them haven't been crash tested and don't meet crash tests. Give BLITZ a call.

If i was in your case, i would put the original on and take it to get complied clear defect. Then wack back on the ztune style. If you get pulled over next time just show them the paper work.

That's where they get ya :D

Compliance of CF bonnets obviously depends on your local laws and if the one you replaced the factory bonnet with doesn't comply then you're pretty SOL. An example of which was said above, a Chinese made Z-tune knock-off is most likely not compliant.

yes it does!

you took a factory item off and put a non standard item on there. thats what got you into trouble. put the standard one back on and leave it that way. the police on the GC will mark your car and if you are seen again in non standard trim you will probably end up with another canary..

Did the officer take any photo/s of the bonnet at the time of the incident?

If he/she did take photo/s as a record then you can pretty much say your 1 point and $75 goodbye because the Police can defect you base on the ground:

a) open vents (a safety hazard to both you and other user on the road if there is any oil leaks through the vents)

b) fitted a non factory equipment that effects the ability of the vehicle operation

As far as I'm aware the only ADR approved vented glass bonnet is the Blitz one from up your way. Anything else aftermarket weather it's china or jap made would ilegal for road use I rekon.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
