My compliance officer does not remove the FRONT doors of cefiros, however the rears are removed as it is easier to fit the bars that way.

As far as cost for paperwork etc is concerned that will vary from state to state, as some will require full written reports etc.

Guys

Re side intrusion bars - give ISASO (on the web) a call, I got my bars for my R32 GTR from them and with freight to canberra it cost me $280.  It is a very easy job to fit them your self, but you will need some basic tools and a welder.  

It is very easy to do - I did both my doors in about 3 1/2 - 4 hours (having no idea where to start!!)  do a search on 15 yr old compliance (or something like that) and you will find a detailed thread I made.

enjoy.

do they mount inside near the door catch? so u didn't need to paint the door skin? what about the inside of the doors, btw mig or spot weld?

You my friend are a complete tool.

c'mon mate, ur not even going to give a reason why i'm a tool?

sorry kill HSV

i think that you need to read up on some import stuff

for you to suggest that STAGEA man is in the wrong forum proves your lack of knowledge, seeing as a stagea is basically a skyline station wagon.

Also dont **** with Side intrusion bars, because not everyone gets killed if you are t boned. Just pay the money and stop complaining.

actually yes i did know they were on the same platform otherwise this wouldn't be possible

(Without heaps of work), they may be on the same platform but their chalk and cheese, family wagon vs. performance car.

i'm pretty sure all the stageas come as auto, so not intended as a sports car.

how can u say that not everyone gets killed? facts?

i also hear that a select number come with the RB26DETT engine in them, that is in no way a family wagon.

and if side intrusion bars save oner person there worthwhile. that 1 person may be you or someone you care for.

if you cannot afford 200-300 for 2 bars i sugest you sell your car now as sports cars arnt a cheap toy.

Hrmm. I'm with some people that has already replied.. You my friend need to get your facts straight. Stagea also comes in manual (expensive tho) and also there are the 260rs versions which are RB26DETT in the wagon (which to my knowledge only comes in manual). I definitely would not call a 260rs a family wagon... :)

well, most '80s and earlier model cars released in australia didnt' have side intrusion bars in the doors. My mums ford laser doesn't, my GSR Cordia doesn't - it's a safety thing obviously, but i can understand why some people might want to skimp on them.

while on the topic of side intrusion bars, do 4 door cars such as the 4dr R32 skyline that i have coming over - do the rear doors need them aswell as the fronts?

Yeah these bars sound great until you,ve seen a passenger seat sliced nearly in two horizontally by the  u beaut side intrusion bar after a side impact. I,m sure that would,ve saved the passenger.......................... SUFFERING!

who the hellinstalled the bar? was it welded in or just riveted?

umm funny you should say that, in my experience side intrusion bars do a pretty good job of keeping another car out of the passenger seat

Last temptation..........If you remove the door trim and remove the plastic liner......you should be able to spot a large rectangular bar running horizontally across your door.

Alternatively, you may be able to see rivets on the door near the latch........they often rivet them in to ensure it stays still whilst welding.

    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
