ADR69 (full frontal impact occupancy protection) does not apply to any vehicle prior to 1995, however, all aftermarket panels must also be certified and have passed crash testing.

So basically no, the bonnets are not legal unless they have undergone crash testing and have been certified by QT.

Hey all this is my 1st post. ah was going to say the same thing as above. The people who imported my car said something along the lines of if its befor 1995 than it can be legal but has to be certified anything over 1995 than apparently not at all.

At the MSC I was showing the couple in the burgundy R33 my FMIC isnstall and a guy from TTR (??) racing said that he could clear my bonnet of a defect becuse it is a fibreglass bonnet with a carbon covering, anyone gotten off a defect like this?

let me firstly say hello to everyone i'm new to this site I've just purchased my first skyline I imported a 96 R33 GTR Vspec through SVi they made the process so easy for me and i would recomend them to everyone i'll post some pics up for everyone after i get them. I work at Custom Carbon and let me say that this is a huge grey area at the moment and it really comes down to the individual officer,we are still having tensile and compression test on a few of our bonnets for the ADR approval. The funniest thing is still to come thanks to project A380 there is now a world shortage of 3k carbon so with this in mind we are experimenting with a new carbon twill,cant give too much away but i hope to have a few products on show on my GTR at an upcoming show. If anyone has any questions or any quiries just pm me or contact Custom Carbon on 07 38652014 hope to meet up with alot of you in the future.

    • 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
