Found the details mate

"We are unable to make carbon fibre bonnets only fibreglass we can make the bonnet you showed on the picture but it will be a custom one which means a little extra in the price it would be $990 to make in fibreglass maybe you can get someone to carbon fibre overlay it ? Our bonnets weigh less than a standard metal bonnet they weigh about 12-13 kg your metal bonnet weighs around 18-20 so a slight weight reduction . They take around 4-5 working days to make up plus the customising of the vents and a deposit is required of $100 on ordering of the bonnet I also need the vin number and rego of the car the bonnet is going on for the registering of the bonnet to the vehicle for street legal certification"

I spoke to Wendy, so just shoot through an email to the above address with a photo of the bonnet and let her know what type of car its for and she'll let you know if they have them or would need to do a custom job like what I was after.

Cheers mate, good luck with it

Just as I thought...wait...look around and be patient brother...for that price, don't get anything less than full CF.

do not forget that full cf is illegal as far as street driving goes, obviously does cost a pretty penny, and cannot be adr approved

the place listed can custom make what you are after

and get it adr approved meaning no cop hassle

This is debateable. However, no carbon fiber bonnet should be legal or ADR approved. The reason of them being not illegal is simple, if you have a car accident, the's front end would smash right through the front and flames would burn through CF much quicker than metal could - so it's a safety issue. So, technically speaking, no CF bonnet is legal unless it is wrapped over metal. Please correct me if I am wrong.

sounds about right but i dont know if the same laws would apply in NSW , some things you would think maybe detectable are not and visa versa now days even

BOV's come along with a fine and loss of points from what ive heard but wheel spacers are legal , about to change to illegal also from what i heard. I know going on past experience ive never had trouble law wise but then again we talking 10 years ago and there wasnt to many CF products out there on the market.

That is basically what i said, so holding out and spending his money on a CF bonnet for street use could quite possibly cause him more trouble than its worth when he can get a bonnet custom made in FRP for the same price but it would be adr approved.

If the OP was after the cf look, then a cf wrap with vinyl isn't hard to do for a few hundred more (yes its expensive) but its either that to be legal, or go illegal to get real carbon

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
