Im thinking of getting the frount fenders with the air vent behind the wheel. Iv been told that i have 2 options fiber glass or my fenders with molded vents, are these a defect? Also with side mirrors im thinking of putting m3 mirrors on, are these a defect aswell? Im doing up my body as im waiting for a new custom paintjob so any feed back will be great.

Cheers

Dave

In the Transport SA’s modification guide under Spoilers & Wheel Guard Flares it reads:

Cosmetic body modifications are permitted without Transport SA approval and inspection provided that they are carried out with regard to the safety of the driver and other road users. There must not be any sharp edges that could increase the severity of injuries to pedestrians.

In regards to the side mirrors there should be a section in the Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Rules 1999 Regulation, which can be DL :). But, might be quicker if you ring up Regency or the like.

Panels aren't structural, unless it's a monocoque design, and Skylines aint.

But the pedestrian safety issue is an interesting one, particularly in relation to insurance.

Im sure thou SA would have some problem with it! our state seems to have the most problems with anything to do wid cars!

I have never seen anyone defect for flared front fenders or the mirrors as you do see them around but can only see how you go I guess or get regency to inspect it and give you the ok....

No your State isnt to bad actually...... over in NSW you have to get everything engineered if you want to keep it on your car but it doesnt cost as much to engineer as it would in Adelaide...

If ya don't mined a read, this might give you some idea of SA's attitude towards moding your car.

Modifications to Passenger Cars

Ya might wanna have a look at page 18 on. The end of page 19 has a little on Spoilers and Wheel Guard Flars.

Good luck and happy moding ;)

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
