Hi guys,

Just got my car on wednesday and took it to get roadworthy done but it failed. Now i am wanting to know if anyone can loan me a couple of parts for a day while it gets roadworthy.

I'm after a stock bonnet (preferably black), stock airbox, steering wheel thats legal (prolly stock) and lastly a set of rear wheels (new tyres wont arrive til 2 weeks time)

If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. I live in Ipswich but will travel to parts of brisbane to pick up parts. Also i'd like to have them this week if possible.

Thanks a bunch guys n girls :)

Mate sorry to burst your bubble but that sounds like a pretty tall order, especially if you're not offering anything in return ($$$/beer/whatever).

Wouldnt it be easier to get a dodgy roadworthy done?? They're easy enough if you find the right place, only thing that should hold you back will be tyres but if they're unroadworthy then you should replace them anyway.

yeh but its the trouble of getting the car to the place to get it roadworthy as i leave for work at 6, get home at 6, plus dont trust anyone else to drive it.

I would definately offer something in reurn yes, no problemo.

Also you know of anywhere that would perhaps do a "dodgey" one for me?

Well dont know any places in brisbane, sorry. I'd only advise you getting a 'dodgy' roadworthy for your own use, never if you're going to sell a car.

Yeah wreckers is good idea, also the small workshops that are attached to servos are often staffed by some shady characters...

Whats wrong with your bonnet anyway?? Carbon?

Is the car in your avatar your car. You never once mentioned what car you own so how are any of us supposed to know what bonnet and other parts you need. I am assuming you have an R33.

I would check with DOTARS because all R32's and some of the early R33's are allowed to have carbon fibre bonnets because ADR 69 does not apply for those particular year models. Don't let them tell you a pod filter is illegal either because they are not. And they have some bullcrap about unsecured....that's crap too. Secured via hoseclamp to the MAF meter.

Cops and roadies seem to think that all carbon fibre bonnets are illegal....that is wrong. I have spoken personally with DOTARS on several occasions regarding this topic and they assure me that 32's are definately clear but only some of the 33's.

3LIT3 FORS3, yeh sorry i completely forgot to mention that, yes the car in my avatar is mine, 1996 r33 series 2

chaos, where u source this from?

looks like i'll be on the work phone again tomorrow chasing these things up. Any of you guys know a 'direct' number to DOTARS, who specialises in modifications? Already got the number of the head engineer of the RAWS workshops in canberra spoke to him last week.

ask her anything you want but be sure to provide as much info as possible about the car and info about your question.

Also the fact that your car is an import.

As for the vents, they are ok whichever way they face as long as they comply with scoop and vent guidelines.

Whoever booked your friends for this was making it up. Never believe what a cop says to you, they will lie 9/10. It is their duty to prove to you that the defect is legitimate, not the other way around. If they do not prove to you that the defect is legit then you can report them for false reporting and they can be fined for it.

hey mate,

haven't seen you around ippy!!?? Didn't know there was anyone in ipswich with internet?? :wacko:

I live in North Booval.

If you still need tyres, i have a set of stock rims with brand new tyres on my r33, if you want to borrow/swap fot the day etc. just let me know. I might be a little bit late with this though.........

Any other parts you need, your welcome to pull off my car, but i kinda need them returned by monday. I've got a 94 model r33 4 door.

Cheers

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
