hey everyone, just going thru some of the motions of getting my car ready for compliance (15 year rule)

ive removed both door trims from my 1990 R32 Gtst and found what appears to be side intrusion bars installed from factory on the drivers side door?

is this correct? or could they have been put there aftermarket in japan (why??)

and the passanger side doesnt have them..

if this is the case and i am correct does that mean for compliance i will only be needing to get aftermarket ones installed into my passanger door?

if this is the case im cheerin coz thats going to save me a fair bit of money.

even still, check out the pics and let me know your thoughts! thanks peeps

woops.

ok that is a 1992 onward door. it would of been replaced in japan.

i love pulling of the door trims and seing them when im complying 32s

its quite common on 32s as i think you cant buy the non intrusion bar boor from nissan(safty reqirment)

the other side get some 50*20*2.5mm blu tube cut it to 1113mm

get 75*6mm plate. cut one bit to 150mm the other to 100mm

and one piece of plate about 10mm long.

weld the 100mm bit to the bar (longways) leaving about 20mm of the plate overhanging the end of the bar

get the 150mm plate and weld the 10mm one on the end of the plate (making the plate thicker at the end)

at this point you will need to take it to somone who has put them in the dors before because it to dificult to explain on paper :D

yeh, if you have a magic bar on the drivers side, then the car has been smacked into at some point in japan, and they've replaced it with the r32 update door (1991+).

As long as the rest of the car doesn't have signs of dodgy repair, should be ok..

cool.

well i suppose this can be seen as good and bad -

on one hand i dont have to get bars for that door but on the other hand the cars been smaked.

i assume RTA wont have a problem with there being 2 different ones in the doors? ie only having receipt for one side of the car? so long as they are both there right?

ill take the other door off the car and take it to SA chassis over here where ive heard theve got a good reputation for doing this stuff to imports. so thats shaved alot of bucks off my compliancing cost.

thks guys

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
