Hi! I know that the carbon fibre and fibreglass of the Z Tune bonnet is illegal to have in Vic. ( as long you don't get busted :bunny: )

But if i get a bonnet scoop like this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...mMakeTrack=true

And get it moulded to my original bonnet. Is that legal?

I know that some of you will ask or even bag me about having the z tune bonnet when i worried about it being legal or illegal.

Well if i do get defected, i wouldnt know how the hell i would get time to get it fixed and also the money involved to get it fixed.

Therefore looking for a alternative to get the Z Tune Look.

general rule is any non-standard or rather non-factory part without ADR approval is illegal. I think if you get a V-spec II CF bonnet or Z tune GENUINE bonnets then they will be legal as they are factory standard.

Look-a-like bonnets without ADR approval are illegal. Maybe it differs between states...

I have a mock up z tune bonnet on mine, rarely get hassled about it then again my car is all black so it doesnt stand out as much. pretty much another carbon fibre or fibre glass is illegal to have unless it is ADR approved mentioned above. i'm unsure of the genuine factor of a v spec / z tune bonnet but i can imagine getting your hands on a geniune one will cost you an arm and a leg!

oh and if you were to get defected for it, the only way to clear it would to put on your stock bonnet and clear it with it on, bonnets are very easy to take on and off and swap, only 4 bolts. just need the extra hands there to help put it on.

Like everyone above said...if it's not from the factory then it's illegal. Moreover, you're going to cut through the bonnet and mount the vent yourself - so this means you're tempering with the stock bonnet, I would say it will definitely be illegal. However, having said that - most Skylines on the road aren't stock - far from it, so like, who cares...you'll be done anyway...if you're car is stock, then that's a different story...you get my drift, right?

stock bonnets aren't expensive ..I've seen quite a few range from $100-300 both here on SAU and various skyline shops (as a lot of people trade theirs in when getting an aftermarket one) so if you eve get defected ... but having said that, why not just keep your stock bonnet just in case? Whatever you do please don't get one of these stick-on fake ztune vents ..it just looks tacky and ghey and brings shame to your village..

Fair Enough, but if i get defected, doesnt that mean that i have to change bonnet, spend money to get RWC and then show the cops the RWC agian?

Plus i just got a quote, $250 to mould and $250 to Paint my bonnet = $500, might as well just get a Fibreglass version LOL

Why don't you just get a R34 GTR V-Spec II bonnet?

Comes from factory Carbon Fibre and has a NACA Duct for cooling on the turbo side.

Or even buy the 3" NACA Duct from www.kenlowe.com.au (based in Qld) and buy a little bit of SAAS black mesh.

On his website, just scroll down to 'Raceglass Composites - bodies,scoops' and scroll again till you see 4" & 3" NACA Ducts

The Duct costs $49 + GST + Post. It's an exact copy of the VS II

Placed in the correct spot, the Duct does not interfere with the reinforcement underneath.

Where is the cheapest place to get a genuine vspec II bonnet?

Im presuming they will be 1-2k?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
