Hi

I'm in the process of importing a 1999 RS4S through Iron Chef and have a couple of questions about some parts I have been thinking about adding but I'm not sure if they are street legal here in Tassie or not, so I'm hoping someone might be able to help out. Can anyone tell me if a carbon fibre bonnet is legal? Or a Varex exhaust?

Thanks

Tim

<br />Just ring service Tas to confirm legality of the cf bonnet . how big is the exhaust ? usually have to fit a pretty stock exhaust for compliance .<br /><br />
<br /><br /><br />

The car looks to have a 2.5 or 3 inch exhaust system on it (just waiting on exact details), but I'm thinking about fitting one of those Varex mufflers with the valve that you can open or close to make it loud or quiet, and I'm not sure how legal they are

Update - just spoke to Service Tas and the guy I spoke to did not think the bonnet would be approved because of the potential impact on crumple zones and the car's safety system, but that the Varex muffler should be ok as long as it complied with volume limits.

Any thoughts/experience that anyone else has about cf bonnets or the volume of Varex mufflers would be still be appreciated!

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
