Hey does anyone know, i'm in the middle of complying a 4 door R32 GTS-T. Are the rules for side intrusion bars the same? Do you have to get bars just for the front doors, all doors or don't have to get any at all? Dunno maybe due to the pillar between the front and rear doors means that you don't need them? I'm guessing it's the same for all 4 door vehicles so has anyone who recently complied a 4 door vehicle needed to install intrusion bars?

im in SA and complying a four door r32. all doors need bars, high mount brake light, fuel filler and unleaded tag, replace tread, baby seat points, return to stock struts, silencer for exhaust, replace pod for air box, return to stock steering wheel and most anoying is taking off the heavy tinting on the back 3 windows. i have a fun weekend ahead of me *nods*

I'm surprised your engineer wants the stock struts!?!?! he should be able to certify what you have got (I've got ZEAL coil overs in mine and they were fine!!!)

He also certified the pods! talk to your engineer....

Can i just say you guys are getting ripped off in the eastern states!!!

it cost us 150 bucks for an engineering certificate in SA...

so realistically you can get it all done for like 600 bucks!!! There are guys who offer it for that price over here!

all the best

Sure the certificate may cost $150 bux.. it's about that here... but in SA do you need to install intrusion bars in each door? install a fuel restrictor cap, change all seatbelts, and the other minor things? Each of these items is several hundred dollars each.

mate, you have it easy with the engineers cert! best I could get over here either Sydney or ACT was $450!!! would have cost me bugger all if I got it for $150...

Side intrusion bars are overrated...lots of compliance places just weld in square metal tubing and get them ticked off. things like fuel filler neck,..that is where you are getting ripped off also. Those things are like 30 bucks and then all they do is knock them into place..shouldnt cost two hundred bucks! and some schmuck payed 200 dollars to get his mirrors done.!!! what the?> take them down to a glass place and get them made up for like 20-30 bucks and glue them into place!

anyways im no expert but you guys are getting done i think

I agree with Luke - anyone paying $200 for mirrors and fuel filler reducer are being robbed!!! I didn't haev to do my mirrors, and the engineer gave me a sticker for the fuel door! no restrictor needed!

restrictor is needed in some states.. rather than just a sticker. Trust me, I tried. Like guys you can go on and on about "how everybody is getting ripped off" but some requirements are MANDATORY that are not in some states.. and of course how thorough your engineer in accepting things is another matter.

but there are different requirements for different states which require different costs (but no not $200 for mirrors).

JAS .. seat belts are very expensive yup for what they are. If you are lucky you can get some of a wrecked R32. I got mine for $100

Every State has different requirements. Perhaps a list of these requirements can be tabulated for each state and put in a new thread and made a sticky? It will save on confusion and the same questions be asked over and over.

blacky (or any West Aussie in the know)

If anyone knows about the updated 15year requirements (since april 4 2004);

Is a engineers cert. required in WA? I have been told that it is required, but you can take it over the pits and they will do the eqivilant of an engineers check/report if you don't have one for an extra charge.. (maybe this is only for stock-ish cars)?

Thread's gone a bit dead, but i was wondering if a particular engineer was needed to sign off the compliance, or if a normal engineer (mod plater in qld) could do it?

Hi Neil

Anyone that is an automotove engineer will be able to certify your car and the mods. when you contact someone about it, just tell them what you require and the level of mods that you have.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
