Hey Guys

Firstly... Name's Woody and I'm new on these forums, some people may know me already from SilviaWA but for those that don't... hello!

I'm sorry if this has been covered before, I tried a search but only came up with NSW info.

I'm looking at selling my beloved S13 and moving into an R34, the car I'm looking at buying has a carbon fibre bonnet. I'm aware ADR allows for cars built prior to 1996 to have fibreglass or carbon fibre bonnets but I was just wondering how many people have gotten away with having one?

Cheers

Woody

Hi Woody - i think you live across the road from me :)

P.s. I'd only worry about it if you get a yellow sticker for it - then just swap it out :)

Hey, yep I do >_< I'm sharing a townhouse with Clint aka CCEG.

I was considering doing that but I've had enough when it comes to yellow stickers to be honest haha. Whether I like it or not I may just have to test my luck.

...well now you do >_<

if you really want one, paint it the same colour as the car, or buy a black R34.

if he was going to do that then he probably would buy a fibre glass bonnet.... :)

just do it, its not something that gets overly picked on i dont think,

p.s. your s13 is hot :)

quick Questiooon..so if u own a car pre 1996... you can put a carbon hood on it?! or must it come factory with carbon/fibreglass?

CHEERS >_<

Nash it doesn't quite work like that... It’s not actually a written rule but moreso a technicality, and I got it wrong by a year… Apparantly under ADR 069 vehicles weren’t crash tested until 06/1995 so only cars that were manufactured after 06/1995 are required to comply. So any car built before that date can get away with having fibreglass/carbon fibre panels, some people I know have permits for their bonnets. Obviously this doesn't mean your insurance company or angry police officer will agree.

if its not gna be for your cf bonnet itl be for your rims being to wide or tires being diffrent widths front and rear(been done for this). you dont modify a car to keep it with in the law otherwise they all be stock. just keep your factory bonnet and swap it over when you get a yellow.basically if they wana be c@nts they give you a yellow for anything.

can still give you a yellow sticker, regardless of permits. :domokun:

a yellow sticker is given when they have reason to believe your car is unroadworthy, regardless of it is or not.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      *that* is a question for chatgpt (or someone that understands maths....but I'd try chatty). Drop them the table and ask for the formula

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Alright. Exhaust has been looked at, and booked in 'soon'. I'm not 100% convinced it's going to be as good as possible but I'm going to go with it anyway. If I get a reasonable thing that works for 10 years I mean that's twice as long as I've lived with the current one. I have a more pressing issue. I have fixed my MPVI3 (by buying a new one). Excellently, one can wire in analog 0-5v inputs to the ECU itself. I had wideband already via Serial so I also wired it in via the direct input. The idea being I can use the standalone logging without a laptop and have Wideband data in it. The other wire I thought I'd use oil temp. This is where I've gone crazy. HPTuners requires you to implement a formula so you know how much volts = how much temp. This seems relatively simple to me. However I cannot find the scale for this anywhere on the internet, nor decipher how to figure it out without removing the sensor from the car. All I know is that voltage actually goes up as temperature goes down. I am using the actual gauge, so I can see what the temp is. The signal wire has been branched off into the MPVI3. EXAMPLE: 2.68v = 58C 2.7 = 57C 2.74v = 56C 2.8V = 54C 3.06V = 49C 3.18V = 47C 3.37V = 43C I think the gauge is 50-150C. It may be more. It may be less, because I can't find it for the love of f**k. It appears all the information about the gauges I have has been scoured from the internet, but the sender is VDO 320.021 I believe the resistance chart is this How the f**k do I convert this to a voltage? Once I have a voltage... I then have to perform this transform of said voltage to show it in the scanner: https://www.hptuners.com/help/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm @GTSBoy you're probably my only hope here TEST YOUR MIGHT

      Here’s the updated and installed muse replica nismo ones … very happy with the outcome. Eventhough I painted my whole rear end due to my rich idle lol.

      Hmm. I had a good look (w/o searching, because I'm not logging in) and couldn't see it either. I distinctly recall the thread, not many weeks ago. It must have been removed or perhaps put into the back section. If it was in Off Topic you should at least have been able to search it up. So if I'm not hallucinating, it is fairly decently removed.
