R32 Child Restraints

[jonn]

For those of you who have got your car's licensed did you use the existing holes in the parcel shelf or drill new ones. The reason I ask is that I have mounted my restraint points using the holes already there in the shelf but they are offset from centre.

Just curious to see what others did, and what they got passed by engineers/pits.

Not sure about WA but in QLD you need to have THREE restraint points........this will require you to drill new holes in your parcel shelf.

Perhaps speak to the engineer that is signing your vehicle off to obtain an accurate opinion of what is needed. Or better yet, blow the cobwebs out of your wallet and spend the few bucks to have someone else do it right. Someone that knows what they are doing will DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

drilled.. only need 3 if you want it complied as a 5 seater.. otherwise 2 points will make it a 4 seater. Anybody ever tried to fit 5 people in an R32? I know I wouldn't be itching too.

I did it right first time by asking questions.. saved $600..

So technically in a 4 door skyline there needs to be 3 mounting points for the 3 people in the back?

on my 32 we drilled. wasnt too concerned around the offset thingy, its not that big.

as for fitting five people in a skyline.. im certain i couldnt do it with my mates, but with my gf's friends, its very squishy. even for me as i have to have the drvers seat moved forward..

really dont look forward to carrying more then two passengers.. noone fits behind me and theres not even leg room for the middle seat.
