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.

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
