I think you'll find any aftermarket add-on which can cause injury to a pedestrian will be deemed illegal and open you to a defect. If I could be bothered, I'm sure I could find the relevant road rules about body modification,s but TBH I can't. I've been around long enough to know that what you are proposing is most likely against the rules in pretty much every state int he country.

I got pulled over a couple months back for speeding and told that my GoPro which I had stuck to the front of my bike between the headlights was illegal as it's a hazard. I think a carbon fibre blade would do more damage than a GoPro. I also got defected in my Datsun 1600 once cause I'd removed one of the driving lights to make a CAI and the copper was concerned that if I hit a pedestrian his/her hand could go up it causing a greater injury. Cutting out the bottom of a milk crate and sticking it in the hole fixed that one.

Need some advice on front canards.

I am thinking of fitting Varis style carbon fibre front canards to my Evo 9. Is this legal?

What does the ADR rules state? Will I get defected by Police?

Any advice given will be much appreciated.

Not legal and will atract the man !!

Ped safety is silly how many people get hit that it needs to be such a issue

How about those chrome monster bull bars with fishing rod holders to core sample you

Or trailer balls to cain your knee in a parking lot as you walk past thats more dangerous !!

How many ped vs cars are just drunks ??

rule makers are pathetic in this country

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
