Just do it woody, dont be shy. Paint it if your really keen to hide it.

GTR bonnet (aluminium bonnet is lighter than CF & Legal) ftw!

As soon as a F1 engineer works that out its game on!!

CF is LIGHTER, its just that 90% of bonnets are Fibreglass fakers with a CF looking overlay.

Real CF is light as.

You got me there, real CF is lighter(if you got $$$)... but compare the aluminium to stocker and its the next best solution.

Doubt Woody would mess with fake shitter bonnets.

Thats a refreshing change. Paint the sucker and know one would be the wiser. Sorted

I've got a CF bonnet on mine and when I took it over the pits with it on there was no complaint and the car passed fine.....it wasn't stickered though....i was just transfering the rego from NSW plates....but ive been pulled over since and never been had for it.....although my car is gunmetal and it blends in quite nicely.

In hindsight though I probably wouldn't have bought one....only reason I got it was because I wanted more cooling with the vents for track days.

But cops can give you a yellow for just suspecting that there is something illegal about the car.....the fact that everything i have done (apart from the bonnet) has been very understated..(painted black etc) has helped me a lot when pulled off the road for simply driving.....when they crack open the bonnet all they see is a very stock looking engine bay and they forget all about the bonnet.....I don't have pods, I only have a black R32 GTR cooler with black piping, no polished anything, no bright coloured hoses, a very understated muffler etc

If the car is a colour that clearly shows the bonnet then I would probably steer clear of it.

Yep the bonnet's an East Bear one, so it's nice and light. I'm a sucker for genuine gear, my wallet hates me.

how much was the east bear one?

the nismo one i got which i'm sure you know of weighs 6kg and cost just under $6k looks the shit though...

Looking at the standard of your 13, just farkin DO IT! When you get stickered then paint it! Its what i did back in the day to the 33R

Not sure on the cost as it was on the car Nathan but I'd hazard guess it was a heap cheaper! For example the east bear carbon fibre undertray costs $5k whereas the Nissan factory one or the GTR is supposed to be $13k!!!

I'm over worrying about it now haha

[GT51R]

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT!

The car looks bombed as it is, lower it with dish and a gt30 game over...

[Spunky Munky]

I got yellow stickered 3 times for cf bonets... lol.. if you are still interested, I'll sell you mine~~

3 Times damn... how did they do it... just pull you over and do you for your bonnet? What reasons did they give?

[R32 Driver]

where is this ADR book that we have to abide to?

where can i get a copy

[Mr Eps]

contact the DPI man, there is ther only way to know for sure, they'll probably have to research n get back to you.

ask to speak to the technical department, they'll know if you can "get away" with it or not

but regardless, if you get pulled over by police, and they deem it as illegal they give you the yellow sticker within their rights and you still have to get the car inspected, which is still a pain in the butt
