always wanted one but if I get a new helmet it will be for when I get my bike and the simpson ones aren't legal for road use. The haven't had the required testing to be standard compliant...

@Colin: bike helmets are allowed under the current regs, as long as they meet AS1698. I use one.

BUT as Josh has said, they are not rated for the same kind of impacts as motorsport helmets. A new helmet for me has been long overdue, I guess that makes me a muppet :thumbsup:

I have been trying to track down solid info on what the requirements are changing to. I beleive they are dropping AS1698, and possibly a lot of the other older standards as well, and requiring a HANS device. I'm not going to buy a helmet until I know it will meet the new regs.

Best fitting helmets I've ever tried. So light aswell. I reckon my next helmet will be a Shoei helmet. Mum n Dad have both got Shoei's and they're great.

I thought they changed the regs so they had to be compliant with an AS/NZ code not just the AS one. Not sure will have to do a little research

I've got a couple of road bike helmets. I think they may be out of date. BS if I cant use them they're legal on the road so why not down a drag strip...

You can.. If they are in date.

at an event, you might as a road helmet isnt anything like a moto-x/dirt bike helmet.

at a CAMS event, thats a whole other story. They can ask you to go home with a JAP cage if they wish.

The problem is, is it going to be all across the board - ANDRA/CAMS/AASA :thumbsup:

fookers the lot of them

people already have them from when they did mx - so they figure they might as well get good use out of them while they are still learning - until they decide they want to get more involved, and then get a proper helmet..

or is that just me and dave?

    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
    • From memory it wasn't too hard to simply see which wire ran where when you plug that in. Unfortunately also from memory the OEM sender does not use the same configuration 99.9% of gauges run. So in other words if you connect the signal wire that was running to the OEM gauge to your DEFI gauge you might find your oil reads at 200C or some other incorrect value. I remember having the same line of thought and then running new wires/senders to match the gauges I have. The pinout is available in the R34 workshop manual.
    • Does anyone on here know which wire on the GTT triple gauge pod harness is for the oil temp gauge? my sensor works fine but I upgraded the gauges to DEFI advance. And if I can simply piggyback off the oem oil temp wire to the Defi oil temp sensor wire that would make life so much easier.
