D.i.y Compliance

[blacky]

yeah its tricky to tell without the falt edge hey. i was surprised cos it didnt even look convex but it was.

all you have to do is get the actual mirror assembly out (the plastic bit with th glass in, not the housing) and just take it to your local glass shop, drop it off and give them $20 half an hour later and refit.

not sure about the scratched windows, but i'm sure they can do something, just ask and see what they can come up with.

[PHATR32]

what about a high mount stop light?? does wa need one?

steve

[blacky]

hey steve,

yes WA regs require a high mount stoplight be fitted if the car was manufactured after June 1989 (i think). You dont always have to put one in, as alot of cars already have them on (a mates oct rx7 had one built into the tailgate).

if you need to put one in, just goto bigw or kmart/supercheap etc, buy a nice slimone that can mount to your inner windscreen. mount it up and run the wires down through the trim and tap you brake light wires.easy!

Hey Guys

Just bought 32 gtst type m..december build so like everyone is is right at the back of the que to get my car over here!

Anyways, i have been reading about compliancing and its all good stuff..cheers guys!

However i hear in SA they get pretty strict and are pretty trigger happy..

so just wondering if anyone needs to know what to get done in SA and if i can do most of it myself and get an engineer to sign it off

cheers

For Tyler and PHATR32, DRIFTT knows more than me but i'll put up what i know you need

*you NEED a restrictor in the filler neck (LRP still sold here)

*you may/may not have to change front belts (look for the label as mentioned earlier)

*you will have to change rear belts (if you have them/are going to keep them) they are most probably going to be just lap belts, requires lap-sash (goes across your chest)

*you may not have to change your *drivers side* mirror, depending on whether it is convex or flat (convex=must change) passenger side can remain convex.

*you MUST fit side intrusion bars if not fitted from factory - some 89 models have them factory, but i think most don't? (Skylines def don't)

*you need to securely attach a tyre placard to the vehicle (door jamb or under bonnet usually) and also an "unleaded fuel only" sticker somewhere near the filler.

---EDIT---

*you must fit child restraint anchor points if the car is capable of carrying a baby capsule (pretty sure 2 seaters arent allowed to, so you dont have to fit them) Most skylines have them done through the rear parcel shelf.

*you'll also need a high mount stoplight if your car doesnt have one. If theres one in the spoiler , upper tailgate, or inner windscreen that will suffice, otherwise you'll have to mount one (easy) see earlier post

i know i'm forgetting some things, and this is only from personal experience...

[PHATR32]

sweet! where do we get the tyre place card from?

you forgot to mension, the high mount stop light and child resrant points.

[blacky]

Phat if you want to buy tyre placards, go and see Paul at Autoworx in Wangara, he's got them pre printed ready to stick on. Or you can just make them yourself - get someone on here to give you the figures on it (i havn't got one sorry) then make one up in word, photshop whatever, print it out, and contact it onto the car if you cant find another way to stick it on.

one thing that hasn't been mentioned here is the side indicators that are on the guards. My last 32 GTS-T had compliance indicators. Do they still need to be installed? I saw a recently complied '89 R32 GTR and that didn't have any on the side.

[blacky]

Not sure, i've never known anyone whose had to have them put on... I never have.

[raz0r$harP.UK]

My brother's 32 did not need side indicators. I spoke to Grey Imports and SSPI and both advised me they were not needed.

[predator]

I don't think they are required.. maybe as they wrap around, they are visible from the side also?

mine doesn't have them either and I wondered about that. Not really up for drilling holes in perfectly nice guards.

[predator]

FYI: I've just posted a tutorial on how to replace the mirror glass.. to change from concave to flat.. really simple, just did it before:

[Tyler Durden]

cheers for that blacky.

Just a few quetions for anyone in the know,

Q1:with the child restraint attachments, does each rear seat need it's own attachment or do you just need one for the one seat?

Q2: the a/c controls in my r32 have been moved to the dash in front of the passenger seat, does anyone know if this would need to be moved back to stock position?

Luke

All u need signed off in SA is the bars

[blacky]

Bought some r32 anti-intrusion bars on friday. Was $130 for both (the car is a two door), which includes the actual bars and the brackets that weld to either end. Very good buy, if i get it ready for welding myself, should have intrusion bars installed for $250 max. Sweet!

[Tyler Durden]

blacky, where did you get the intrusion bars from? I guess it was here in perth somewhere. Sounds like a good deal.

[blacky]

Tyler, i got them from A&B Autos out in Bayswater. Pretty friendly guys-gonna ring em this week to get an idea on the installation.

you gonna buy a pair man?

[Tyler Durden]

Yeah I need to get a pair soon. Don't know if my car made it onto the December ship so not sure when it'll be here, but i will need to get a pair, and that sounds like a good deal.

You'll need them for both seats

Holes are already there but need to be drilled through the parcel shelf.

I also used a couple of spacers to raise them enough to clear the original speaker

covers.Make sure you buy the "late model"? restraints that have a provision for

a clip.When you go to buy them there is 2 types.

As for the a/c as long as the engineer signs off on your car with them there you should be fine.

Hope that helps

Does any one have ISASO's? I'm having a hard time finding it.

Cheers, Josh.
