Opened My 94 Gtr Doors, No Side Intrusion Bars!

[Meiji]

g'day all,

i just took the door trim off my 1994 r32 GTR to fit some sound deadening, and i can't see any side intrusion bars in there.

i know it was complied in nsw, but how should i find out who did it?

hmmm...i wonder what legs i have to stand on...what should i do?

Cheers,

M..

don't worry about it they only add weight anyway.

well....the company that complied it is named on the compliance plate under the bonnet.

So if you do want to do something about it contact them and see what they say. And if you still want to do more and they won't co-operate take it up with DOTARS.

[RBwhatever]

You can go to the DOTARS website and find the compliance section. You can input your vin number too find your cars details, who complied it and their details etc.

And protect yourself and your loved ones.

I'd be furious!

[bnr#@]

Are you realy shure that theres nothing in there? Because the late 32GTR's came factory fited with side intrusion bars. It looks like a fairly puny little thing that runs along the inside of the doors. Ive got one in my passenger door in my 32 GTR

[kralster]

it could just have old doors on it or something if it was in a crash, but i'd look at getting it done just for safety's sake.

get pics up and make sure that you definately dont have them, after that, dont bother with the workshop, go straight to dotars and get em shut the f*ck down. if they are taking shortcuts when it comes to your safety, f*ck em!

[32vspecII]

the raw is just going to say they were there when the car was complied and they have no control over the car after it leaves there hands

[fieds83]

Is there a possability that you car has been in an accident and required doors to be replaced, a wrecker can supply doors without intrusion bars with no legal obigation to fit them.

[predator]

exactly.. that could be a likely explanation.

[Meiji]

hi all,

thanks for all the good replies, i really appreciate it.

a) i can't be absolutely sure that there is no bar in the door - if they're small i may have missed it

b) i haven't checked the driver's side, this will help me compare them

c) i've contacted DOTARS by email, no reply as yet

d) obviously if the door has no bar fitted, i'll get them put in.

it's an interesting problem - there's a moral hazard to not telling dotars, and a moral hazard to telling them...hmmm....

cant get them put in supposedly unless the compliance shop can source Raw's compliant ones

which mine couldnt

suplier is in Queensland supposedly and hadnt made any yet

there right up the top not like the aftermarket ones they put in and are hard up against the outer door skin

u can no longer put aftermark intrusion bars in for RAWS vehicles they must be OEM fitted trusion bars and doors. as for trying to contact DOTARS its kinda pointless the workshop will just say they were there wen we complied it..

Who told you this? This is the opposite of what I've heard and seen recently.

DOTARS- Ive complied numerous r32's and have had to change the doors simply becasue the ones that came on the car had been replaced in japan and not fitted with oem truison bars.

This is the same as what happened to my car, as they weren't allowed to just add intrusion bars so i had to get some white doors with OEM bars fitted and paint them black

hi guys,

ok, here's a photo looking up towards the top of the door, on the inside:

should there be anything there? i don't know if there's something behind that bulging but of metal in the middle of the picture.

btw i thought the same thing as razor - that you can use oem parts for these units?

[Bumblebee]

wow.. no side bars.. so gay, id report that to someone if i was u

[Meiji]

anyone else have any insight on this? am i missing intrusion bars in this door? i've contacted DOTARS to see what's going on.
