yeah I agree, I enjoy having my chin and my nose protected. it's a bit shit if you have an accident in a open face helmet only to have a broken jaw and a fked nose....

you can get a great full face motorbike helmet (that will be suitable for car use) for less than $300 these days. specialist car helmets cost more for some reason but there is not a lot between them. just make sure whatever you get meets the current AS.

Bell are making helmets for RPM and are sold at revolution race gear for around $400. As stated they are made by Bell Europe.

For the odd track day they would be perfect.

I still went with a Bell myself as it was a little lighter and the hardware was better quality but double the price.

I had a Nitro helmet previously which I was very happy with for the money. It was no more than a few hundred $$$ and was very comfortable. Can get them from Revolution Racegear (not sure if you still can, but I got mine form there) or bike shops.

Have just picked up a Bell which is leagues ahead, but then again it's a $1400 helmet as opposed to a $200 helmet so it should be.

yeah I like the Bell helmets. very good. I'm currently using an AGV rossi replica. lol. I use it on my 100cc scooter to get to work and it's great in the car too. very nice helmet and great lining.

gwin: I don't think I am who you think I am. if that makes sense. :cool:

Open or closed whatever suits you Champ.

With a head like yours it should ALWAYS be a closed helmet ;)

Personally I would only ever take full face. open face might be legal but is no-where near as safe and some places may require full face.

X2 but its what your comfortable with, plenty of peeps out there wearing opened helmets but more so in tarmac/rally

Best thing is they're cheap from the 'states right now :mad:

Wonder if the better half would notice a very late xmas present to myself :P

That's not fair champ, you obviously aren't aware that I've been voted "best on ground" at tugga five years running now.......... You still wearing two helmets ya inbred? ;)

Due to all the travel i was doing i decided to have the second head removed so i would "blend in" when i crossed the border. I dont get charged excess baggage anymore either which is nice but i still get some funny looks when im wearing my custom leathers at the track :P

Wonder if the better half would notice a very late xmas present to myself :P

If you decide to run that gauntlet try bellhelmets.com. Great to deal with, really fast shipping, and better shipping prices if you email them ;)

:P its funny you posted that cause i just sent them an email (from my personal account of course) and i've already come up with the cover story "it was ordered and paid for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before xmas but they were low on stock so i had to wait" ;)

Haha :P

Speak with Mike Moncanda there, very helpful. I got shipping for around $85US I think for a helmet, extra visor and helmet bag and it was here within a week. He also gave me a fair discount on a Vortex2 becuase the Vortex1 could not accept the visor I wanted :down:

Haha :D

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
