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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
