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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
