I heard that the old clip style ones were illegal as they protruded from the bonnet too much, but eh flush ones are ok?

just read the regs and yeah I think your right.

(last time I read was 10 years ago for my stang)

if they don't protrude your ok so the aero catch ones should be fine..

well unless a cop decided they are a pedestrian hazard.

so regs say:

im keeping my stock latch + flat bonnet pins just for safety.

read something the other day of someone in Aus, those black flat bonnet pins stripped the thread on a racetrack straight, bonnet flew up and bent the roof :wacko:

Hmmm true true, but it's jsut a pain in the ass to have to unlock the pins, then pull the bonnet latch. Was hoping to remove catch all together so it's just a straight process of undoing pins. Not wanting to get defected for it though so thought 'd see if anyone has any info regarding

Need two secure points for the bonnet if you ever do any track days

Sorry for the noob question but what does that mean? I've got 2 bonnet pins on either side of the bonnet, but that's not what you mean is it? lol

i love the people that go on about Reps being deadly...

If half the national comp level drifters can use them and hit ripple strips sideways at 200kph without issues, somehow I doubt some phaggot in a VW doing 3kph to get up a wooden plank into shallow driveway to go to a circlejerk hardpark meet has anything to worry about

yeah 2 bonnet pins is 2 separate anchor points.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
