Hey Guys,

Just got a new bell 2011 helmet off the misses for b'day. :)

One of my mates was having a look, and said that it was useless because it only has FIA sticker, not the Aus standard.

Is this correct? Does this mean I wouldn't be able to use it at WSID for instance?

Let me know if you need the actual numbers.....

Cheers!

yeah you may find a problem at WSID. best to check with them. it's silly as the AS standards are for motorbike helmets which have completely different requirements to car helmets. FIA is the right standard for a car helmet, it mainly just means since it has no AS sticker you can't use it on a motorbike. it's a long way from being useless though. bell make great helmets and FIA standard is fine for pretty much every type of circuit racing I can think of.

but...i learned the other day that ANDRA/WSID do not follow the same standards....so check that as well

Yeah this is correct.. andra wouldnt accept my helmet that only had british standards/fia standards..

however they let me use an out of date go kart helmet... go figure........

so wsid no.. but track days you will be ok..

Wow,,, thats crazy. I just checked my 2 year old road racing Bell and it only has the snell approval. Well i shouldn't say only,,,snell is the highest standard. It does have another little sticker that basically says it's for racing use only.

Cheers

see moneybags? If you just bought a $100 bike helmet like me you would have been fine :whistling:

Yea whatever fathead,,,if they charged by helmet size you would pay a lot more than a hundred bucks. :nyaanyaa:

Seems the women of SAU are the ones with the brains,,,mine made me buy a quality fire-restaint road racing helmet,,,Josh's misses bought Bell quality,,,Kelly wears Stilo quality and YOU own rubbish. :domokun:

Cheers

Neil.

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
