whats the point in having it if your not going to use it if ur ugnna drive around with it u might as well say you have it?

Are you talking about insurance?

Coz it would be a damn shame to be forking out $3000 a year for insurance for a few years just to finally make a claim and have it rejected because you wanted a carbon bonnet.

Its also illegal to have one as its not designed for the car. So technically not even insured

I dont think you can even engineer one due to material used

This is the reason ;)

We all know Police read the forums. Say Joe Bloggs admits he has one in a far fetched or maybe not so world, it gives them something instantly to go after Joe for to defect. People dont want to admit to anything they dont need to. I wouldnt, would you? <_<

Joe with his CF bonnet has an accident that has nothing to do with his bonnet. Most insurance companies seem to be of the opinion, guilty until proven innocent. They dont want to pay out unless they have to. If as a company could get out of a $5K claim on a technicality, would you?

Anyone can and does read the forums. People are aware of that. :D

The only GTR I know of that can have one legally is the N1 which I am sure someone can either confirm or deny as it came from the factory.

ffs. As if saying on here that you have CF bonnet will get you a visit from the cops. As someone said, you drive around with the bloody thing on so what's the diff?

How many of us post that we have bigger injectors, turbo etc and get visits from the cops or the epa?

What a wank.

A very constructive reply there from an Exec. ;)

All I know is I wouldnt be putting a post up about doing any illegal activity on somewhere I know is frequented by Police. Makes sense doesnt it? :)

Do you have any other suggestions as to why people dont post up that they have a CF bonnet. :D

We dont post in the Vic section... anyhow.

go to Nissan Silva, ask what happened to the Vic boys about thier cars and the defects from what came about on the forums.

it might be very surprising to you, but common for us here

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with

      Skyline Washer Nozzle Compatibility

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Hi all, Bit of an odd question but the only OEM washer nozzles I can find readily available are listed as fitting the R33/R34 models. The R32 (shown below) has it's versions sold as a LH and RH piece while the R33/R34 nozzles are sold as a set (part number B8K30-AA000). Has anyone tried using these nozzles on their R32 Skyline hood? Do they fit without issues or with slight shaving, or are they completely incompatible? Visually they look almost exactly the same as the original factory nozzles I have now. They aren't expensive so I can eat the $30 or so that it would cost to try but I figured I'd ask in case someone had tried it already. Thanks!

      I'm in the market for 370GT.  I live in Canberra and not much available so I'm looking interstate.  Can anyone recommend an inspection service with expert knowledge of Skylines? Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide (Elizabeth area)
