carbo bonnet legal

[crate]

talked to a bloke out at spoilerfactoy today ,

and he was telling me that any skyline that was produced before 1995 was alright to have a carbon fiber bonnet the only issue was the holes ponting to the windscreen ,if they are closed it is legal

is this bullshit or what ?

cause i would love to get a carb bonnet, but not if the cops are gonna pull me over and see all the other shit under the hood

anyone know whats the go with the bonnets

[FATGTS-R]

did you ask why holes pointing to the bonnet were illegal?

All i have ever heard about carbon bonnets is that they were illegal full stop.

From what I was told it is something to do with them not being safe in an accident.

I was told that if you wanted to have a carbon bonnet you would need to take it to the required place that could test it and see if it is safe to use.

But that would mean smashing a few of them in a simulation, which would cost ridiculous money, hence why nobody would do it.

In my opinion, According to the Eastern States Laws.

This is Pure and Utter Bullshit.

However, In your state Carbon Fibre bonnets, Maybe legal.

However the Bottom line is..

All bonnets must meet ADR standards, This means All bonnets must Crumple on Impact.

A carbon Fibre bonnet does not, It splits and Shatters.

Therefore Rending the Bonnet Not Legal.

The Smarter thing to do will be to contact the correct authorities, to check if mine or 'This Spolier Guy's" comments are correct.

Thanks,
