ADR69 (full frontal impact occupancy protection) does not apply to any vehicle prior to 1995, however, all aftermarket panels must also be certified and have passed crash testing.

So basically no, the bonnets are not legal unless they have undergone crash testing and have been certified by QT.

Hey all this is my 1st post. ah was going to say the same thing as above. The people who imported my car said something along the lines of if its befor 1995 than it can be legal but has to be certified anything over 1995 than apparently not at all.

At the MSC I was showing the couple in the burgundy R33 my FMIC isnstall and a guy from TTR (??) racing said that he could clear my bonnet of a defect becuse it is a fibreglass bonnet with a carbon covering, anyone gotten off a defect like this?

let me firstly say hello to everyone i'm new to this site I've just purchased my first skyline I imported a 96 R33 GTR Vspec through SVi they made the process so easy for me and i would recomend them to everyone i'll post some pics up for everyone after i get them. I work at Custom Carbon and let me say that this is a huge grey area at the moment and it really comes down to the individual officer,we are still having tensile and compression test on a few of our bonnets for the ADR approval. The funniest thing is still to come thanks to project A380 there is now a world shortage of 3k carbon so with this in mind we are experimenting with a new carbon twill,cant give too much away but i hope to have a few products on show on my GTR at an upcoming show. If anyone has any questions or any quiries just pm me or contact Custom Carbon on 07 38652014 hope to meet up with alot of you in the future.

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.  
    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
