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.

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
