ADR means road approved cause they splinter an stuff. so im looking for a cf or fibreglass road approved bonnet!!!

I have a Z tune style CF bonnet on my R34 for last 2 and half years and I've never had any problems with cops or anybody else. I've been pulled over many times and been asked to open the bonnet, and they never said anything about the bonnet itself. The only time I had a complaint from a cop about the bonnet was because of the metal clamps because apparently incase of an accident they will fly off and hit some1 in the eye :P but they never defected me for it or asked me to take it off, that just was thier opinion. anyway cops once told me and I'm sure they're right, is that they can defect you on ANYTHING apart from factory parts. That could be anything, they said even if you have 10 engineering certificates they can still defect you. And they did it to my friend, he got defected on certain things that he had an engineering certificate for but they didn't care.

My advise just find yourself a cheap bonnet as cheap as you can because it will save you $$$ N don't worry bout any ADR and stuff, just behave on the road and you'll be ok. But anyway if you think you'll be more comfortable with an approved bonnet than go for it and Good Luck.

    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
