Nice car, I think if it were lowered it would finish it right off.

How are you finding the cop attention with the boot lid? I almost bought one, but was told if I were rear ended the other person’s insurance won’t cover the damage due to the carbon parts not meeting ADR’s..

Meets ADRs:confused: Possible, but the bootlid would absorb kack sh1t energy. Its the bumper bar and its mounting to the chassis that surely absorbs/transfers the energy, or maybe not?!?!? I suppose it is a big picture thing, and it could play a part, but straight off the bat doesnt sound right.

Still want to know where to get one from, id like one provided they aint to exxy:)

How much lighter does this boot weigh compared to the factory one?

I am sure it would be the rear bar and its reinforcement that would have to comply with ADR's, as they would generally be the first point of contact in the event of an accident.

Roy and NXTIME, you are both right in what your saying. I’m speaking from my findings. NRMA almost didn’t cover my stock GTR bonnet.. As it wasn’t a factory item (was on a Gtst) when some clown backed into it at Safeway. Their argument was it didn’t meet ADR blah blah blah, after a quick call from the lawyer all was fixed, seeing it was a stock factory bonnet after all.

I would check with your insurance to be on the safe side, for example Shannon’s won’t let me run a carbon bonnet and engine hatch cover on the Porsche due to what I said in my first post.

Hey thanks for commetns...

FIrst up with engine bay water question.. the only time this thing would get water in the bay when driving would be at lights or parked.. driving aint a prob the water wouldnt get in.. dont relaly know if its that bad if it did??

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
