Ahh when you need a pick me up at work.

No thank god!

If it was then I would 100% never buy a car off him. edit: I would never buy a car off tyson's anyways haha

That's like saying "ohh you have wear on your seat covers, better be careful because your tires will go bald shortly after"

Oh, I was going to put my car on there when I get it ready

Only because it's free and would reach a large percent of the local car people.

[Manuel Kasko]

I would sell a car on there because there are plenty of clueless people who will buy it purely because its a skyline and has a turbo.

Just be careful because I get the impression that there would be a lot of people just trying to take it for a spin as well.

Or offer you a motorbike and BMX bike cash your way haha

[Shell]

Yeah it's gonna be fun and games

I've had 3 semi-serious expressions of interest from friends.... hope one of them decides yes haha

If you can keep it within your circles, you may even get to buy it back oneday.

Thoughts on CF bonnets? More so Pros and Cons rather then personal opinions on it.

My understanding that they are illegal?

[Anfanee]

Illegal unless ADR approved.

[RosieR34]

I have had a CF bonnet on my daily driven Black DC2R for about 2 and a half years now, and have only been defected for it once.

I just had my car engineered. Technically CF bonnets are legal, and majority (85%) of engineers out there will engineer them in a jiffy. The law (RTA, NSW) on bonnets is that they need to cover the engine, and exposed belts. So CF bonnets or metal bonnets can't have holes/vents in them, that people can put their hands through to touch the belts. But if it's a OEM style carbon bonnet, it's fine. According to all the engineers I spoke to, including the 5 that were easily prepared to engineer my bonnet said there is no law on crumple zone etc etc that you hear - it's all rumours and lies.
Bonnet pins are also acceptable. One of the engineers said, "if mercs, jags and freaking bentleys have hood ornaments, why the hell can't you have bonnet pins that sit lower, and actually have a function, rather than being a seeing eye for those asian people."

So really, cops shouldn't do anything. If they do defect you, it'll be a pink slip. Pink slip places will clear it easy. If they ask for a blue slip, go get it engineered easy... then go get the blue slip.

Hope that helped.

This is what I found on a JDM tuning - seems legal if engineered

Sin was approved at Dickson with one on

However my personal opinion is if it is not OEM then don't put one on - they're s#it !!

Edit:

Pro - lighter on GTT's than OEM (But not GTR's)

Con - Will lift on the corners at speed unless it has bonnet pins

Con - CF/FPR is cheap n nasty (unless you pay heaps for brand/quality)

Con - It was in 20yrs ago. A style that should never come back (like a mullet hair cut)

Con - If it looks like CF then it attracts little boys and cops

Con - Cheaper ones with vents are for appearance and do not assist cooling

Con - When it rains the water gets in (Vented versions)

Ps. If you want something that stands out or looks like CF - wrap your existing or paint it black

or just paint over it because if i was to get one it would be for weight savings not for the looks coz they dont look good imo.

Wow, how long ago were those pics taken? Very Different car now. Love the Huge Handle Wing.

What are those wheels?

[Sinista32]

Thanks man

those wheels were awesome Ol skool JDM - 3 piece light wheight Panasports (G7 c5c2's - rare ones and even rarer in such good cond).

I should never have sold them

The wing was a C-west electronic dual wing (Stolen when the GTR was at Croydons )

GTR button in cabin on the side panel near right foot - had 3 settings) Tap, Tap, Tap - Only became useful over about 140/160kmph.
