they're no different here in the switch to anywhere else mate.

I drove around for 12 months with a cf bonnet and never had an issue.

I did not hang out in the usual boy racer haunts tho. lappin the switch is a guaranteed way to get your arse caned on a regular basis.

You fita cf bonnet and ya takes ya chances. My mate from logan just got done and had to have it cleared but as he said, its no biggie.

Hook up with us some time and we'll show you the ropes in the switch.

What was the fine for beeping? My brother got booked for that (and a plethora of other things, lol) many moons ago and it was something like "inappropriate use of an emergency device" if I recall? That was also in Ipswich incidentally.

Yeh drive around with the Carbon hood but I would be packing some lube. Its like swimming in a tank of sharks and thinking.....could I get bitten.......It might not happen overnight but it will happen.

The only bonnets they are letting go is the BLITS fibreglass bonnets as they are ADR approved.

Goodluck.....especially in Ippy

Cheers

It was really funny because it was a $60 fine and for the description on the fine he wrote "Toot toot toot toot, telling her friends she was here"

The lady at the Dept Trans when I paid for it lol'd.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
