Hello everybody,

Im chasing vert' doors to get my car over the pits. Its on the wharf at the moment, and i just realised that shaved door handles means NO door handles (not that she wanted to keep clean).

Any ideas or suggestions to get my baby over the pits will be appreciated.

Heres a link for pics of my car in japan. Compliments and constructive insults are appreciated :D . Its my first import and its a touch wild.

heres that damn link

You need to go to see Raj at Jap Parts www.jappartswa.com.au/ as he can comply it and has a lot of standard bits you will be needing to get it over the pits, if the doors are a different colour it wont get signed off as the pits will go were are the doors it came with (swapping doors for side intrusion bars is a old trick).

A new version (10) of the vehicle sign off is out and a couple of changes due to workshops taking short cuts, I dont do them any more as it was to hard to justify the cost.

Hand Brake needs to lock, are the seats FIA/ADR stamped, front bar needs full support, was any of the radiator support cut to fit the front mount, ride hight, bonnet needs to be steel, are the guards steel or glass, tyre/rims, guages all over field of view, front seat belts are need and what exhaust is fitted.

That is just from looking at the photos, who sold you this with out highlighting a few things.

Heya All!

Just received a call from the Head of the pits (Welshpool) and they said that i dont need to have external door handles!

Good news, as my fc3c complete door search/lend is quite a failure.

One less thing to worry about on the pits, his stance on stiff suspension is that it should have **some** play when you push down on it, unlike most jap cars with coilovers where it doesnt bounce down nor up.

What a sigh of relief, and i should take delivery of it within the next 2 days.

Will look at that list DRIFTT and see what i can do.

Cheers ;)

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.

      You don't have to be bored driving a Camry. Not based on the way that a couple of f**king Ubereats/Didi/othersortofmethaddlednightshiftattheservicestationrecentimmmigrants were piloting them on the way to work this morning. f**k me dead!

      FWIW, the Bride reps are really nice to sit in. The only complaint I have, other than the tear in my bolster, is that the velcro used to hold the backrest cushion in place, up under the headrest, is a little obvious and intrusive and could probably be done better. I don't know if that is a "feature" on the genuine ones also though. I haven't looked at a genuine one like the ones I have, only some of the older models. The other thing is, even though I bought the CF ones, I think the CF is really just decorative, over the top of the same FG as the normal seats. And so they really aren't light. Between the solidly built CF/FG seat, the steel frame in the recliner mechanism, and the solid-arse seat rail, they are probably heavier than even the stock seat. They are a serious lift to get in and out of the car.

      Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.

      I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
