ADR means road approved cause they splinter an stuff. so im looking for a cf or fibreglass road approved bonnet!!!

I have a Z tune style CF bonnet on my R34 for last 2 and half years and I've never had any problems with cops or anybody else. I've been pulled over many times and been asked to open the bonnet, and they never said anything about the bonnet itself. The only time I had a complaint from a cop about the bonnet was because of the metal clamps because apparently incase of an accident they will fly off and hit some1 in the eye :P but they never defected me for it or asked me to take it off, that just was thier opinion. anyway cops once told me and I'm sure they're right, is that they can defect you on ANYTHING apart from factory parts. That could be anything, they said even if you have 10 engineering certificates they can still defect you. And they did it to my friend, he got defected on certain things that he had an engineering certificate for but they didn't care.

My advise just find yourself a cheap bonnet as cheap as you can because it will save you $$$ N don't worry bout any ADR and stuff, just behave on the road and you'll be ok. But anyway if you think you'll be more comfortable with an approved bonnet than go for it and Good Luck.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
