I thought the existing child restraints were ok these days as they realised the Aus standard ones were inferior? Perhaps I am wrong though.

I'm starting to look into this, will probably have make 100 calls to get to the right Government departments but i will update you guys.

Ps. Rang Northshore Prestige but they have no idea as they said they're only providing the Compliance Plate and that's about it.

Would be very interested where you get with this as I would like nothing more than to do away with the terrible anchor point install that was done on my car.

As an aside, anyone know how the Japanese child seats are installed? Do they use the "luggage" tiedown points or something else?

I would say that they use the tie down points. If not there may be a thread point you can use and drill a small hole in the floor panel and use a floor type harness point.

Got no where yet ........ rang around 10 time to difference Agencies

...but here is an interesting article from Japan Times back in 1999

To avoid misuse and mismatching, Toyota Motor Corp. and Takata Corp., a major seat-belt maker, have jointly developed a new child seat based on a standard called ISOFIX that was drawn up by the International Standardization Organization.

The new seat, to be introduced in August, has a base that locks easily with hooks set in the rear seat of the car. Connectors attach the seat to the top of the base.

Toyota spokeswoman Hitomi Hayakawa said the new seat is easy to install and can be fixed firmly to the interior of the car without a seat belt.

Dear Mr Kingdick,

 

Nothing is confirmed at the moment. I can’t give you any confirmation as to how the new system will look, operate nor what will be deleted, added or modified.

The system is still being developed at this stage with nothing set in concrete.

Anything you hear as being added, deleted or modified in the new system is guess work and should not be interpreted as fact.

 

Kind regards

Isofix is the standard everyone manufactures seats to except stupid Australia.
They have done for many years now; but ADR refused to validate the safety of the seats or the fixture points.
All European cars sold in Australia have been fitted with ISOFIX mounts for years now

ADR have been protecting our lazy, stupid, backward child restraint manufacturing industry because they refused to adopt the global standard, as it would open them up to competition from far better quality equipment.

Due to the death of our Motor industry; ADR was forced to accept international standards which far outstrip any local testing, as legal, and this has opened the way for ISOFIX seats.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.

      Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.

      Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
