No thank god!

If it was then I would 100% never buy a car off him. edit: I would never buy a car off tyson's anyways haha

That's like saying "ohh you have wear on your seat covers, better be careful because your tires will go bald shortly after"

Oh, I was going to put my car on there when I get it ready :laugh:

Only because it's free and would reach a large percent of the local car people.

I would sell a car on there because there are plenty of clueless people who will buy it purely because its a skyline and has a turbo.

Just be careful because I get the impression that there would be a lot of people just trying to take it for a spin as well.

Or offer you a motorbike and BMX bike cash your way haha

I have had a CF bonnet on my daily driven Black DC2R for about 2 and a half years now, and have only been defected for it once.

I just had my car engineered. Technically CF bonnets are legal, and majority (85%) of engineers out there will engineer them in a jiffy. The law (RTA, NSW) on bonnets is that they need to cover the engine, and exposed belts. So CF bonnets or metal bonnets can't have holes/vents in them, that people can put their hands through to touch the belts. But if it's a OEM style carbon bonnet, it's fine. According to all the engineers I spoke to, including the 5 that were easily prepared to engineer my bonnet said there is no law on crumple zone etc etc that you hear - it's all rumours and lies.
Bonnet pins are also acceptable. One of the engineers said, "if mercs, jags and freaking bentleys have hood ornaments, why the hell can't you have bonnet pins that sit lower, and actually have a function, rather than being a seeing eye for those asian people."

So really, cops shouldn't do anything. If they do defect you, it'll be a pink slip. Pink slip places will clear it easy. If they ask for a blue slip, go get it engineered easy... then go get the blue slip.

Hope that helped.

This is what I found on a JDM tuning - seems legal if engineered :(

Sin was approved at Dickson with one on

However my personal opinion is if it is not OEM then don't put one on - they're s#it !!

Edit:

Pro - lighter on GTT's than OEM (But not GTR's)

Con - Will lift on the corners at speed unless it has bonnet pins

Con - CF/FPR is cheap n nasty (unless you pay heaps for brand/quality)

Con - It was in 20yrs ago. A style that should never come back (like a mullet hair cut)

Con - If it looks like CF then it attracts little boys and cops

Con - Cheaper ones with vents are for appearance and do not assist cooling

Con - When it rains the water gets in (Vented versions)

Ps. If you want something that stands out or looks like CF - wrap your existing or paint it black

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
