Hey guys,

Took my R32 GTS-t to get an LO1 Mod Plate this afternoon and it turns out I need to replace my seatbelts in order to pass to get the plate.

QLD rules and reg's require approved (ADR) seatbelts to be fitted, replacing the standard nissan ones :D

The vehicle was complied in NSW previously.

What did everyone else do - besides going an buying new ones? Can you get some from wreckers etc?

Thanks in advance.

Yeh seat belts are another issue in QLD. I'm guessing it was a 15 year import, in which case you'll need belts which state on them that they comply with ADRs.

For further reference for anyone in QLD, here's the DOT link to the requirements for all imports:

Went through something similar in VIC...

The JIS (Japan Industrial Standard) tag on the seatbelts is acceptable as ADR Compliant.

get a copy of the seatbelts section. It says something about 'ADR Markings OR EQUIVALENT'.

Of course, this was in vic. And it was a week long arguement. That I won (with the help of the auto engineer who issued the compliance cert giving me this info)

Hope the 'or equivalent' applies in QLD as well as VIC.

Good luck either way.

Oh - and auto engineer said he could do it for $400 (so you have a prive point) - but that it didn't need to be done.

Nah slightly different circumstances in QLD, as per the link I posted above...

In QLD, for a SEVS vehicle, ADR equivalents may be accepted as per the RAWS online guide.

In QLD, for a 15 year import, it must say it complies with ADRS, or have a letter of compliance from vehicle/seat belt manufacturer stating part numbers.

In QLD, for a personal import, ADR equivalents as per the RAWS online guide can be accepted.

Unfortunately i'm going to have to buy new ones :O

Rang the engineer again and he said I can used belts from another vehicle but must have a signed statutory declaration from the previous owner of the vehicle saying that the vehicle (that i'm to get the seat belts from) has never been in an accident :)

Stupid law differences - its crazy.

You should actually try and call a business that does the mod plates and that does do alot of imports and find out what seat belts they do use as you can buy Klippan Branded ones but they were quite expsensive if i remeber correcttly few hundred dollars each( but that is what they recommended for r32 eg) which is not right. So maybe you mite be able to match a seat belt up to fit? cause the average price was 70 to 80 dollars for a klippan brand.

Hope this helps.

Well, it's not really a big deal. Everyone who imports a car seems to be hit with little suprises here and there. Espeically with 15 year old imports.

You should have known that you need to replace the belts.

A few hundred bucks is nothing.

Back when I got my r33 complied, compliance was 5k, so you've got quite a bit of money to spend yet before it gets anywhere near being expensive.

That's all true. I should've done more homework before I purchased the car, I just assumed that the registration would've been a straight change-over and compliance was the same in all states. But I guess its true what they say: Assumption is the mother of all f**kups! :)

I was told by an engineer that if you want to use belts from another car you need a signed statutory declaration stating that the vehicle (that the belts are coming from) has never been in an accident :P

It never ends.

I'll try scout for some wrecks.

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
