Just saw a bloke with nismo stickers on the spokes of his Rota wheels.. Wonder if he consulted the SAU Facebook page first

I hope he did, and I hope he got blasted for being a tight ass by someone who uses genuine Jap wheels wrapped in Federal 595s

Anybody know the legalities of removing the bonnet catch and having the bonnet secured only by flush bonnet pins?

Think you've missed the point of someone caring more about brand of wheels and safety/performance of this than the tyres connecting them to the road

[HEKT1K]

I had a pair of 595s on my Rays wheels haha, they were frighteningly bad. I switched them to the rear in less than a week

Bonnet pins are illegal...so probably not good.

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

I run Rodney Jane Racing rims with A050s myself

[Leroy Peterson]

people have claimed my TE37's were fakes because they didnt have the stickers on them.

gtfo

People think my D1Rs are fake because I removed the stickers

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.
