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??

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
