August 1991 was when there was a model revision from memory... most of the post revision (Series 2) R32's came with side intrusion bars... although, they're not exactly the best intrusion bars ever.

I might be wrong, but it sounds like someone is either trying to take you for a ride or they are simply talking shit. Did they offer to "find" you a pair of compatible doors by any chance??

I understand the rules have changed, but under the old 15yr deal all you had to do was have a set of bars fitted to the existing doors & you were good to go. Unless you're locked-in, I'd consider speaking with another shop, even if it's just for another opinion.

Good Luck

15year rule all you had to do was weld the bars in. You're getting that complied under SEVS i take it? If so then that is why you have to get the factory side intrusion bars, seems a bit stupid but hey. Their logic is that some of them came with the bars from factory so all that come through you must have them. :)

under SEVS the only R32's to have been tested were Series 2 models (why would you test an older model anyways) so they all had factory side intrusion barsd. which means if you import a Series 1 R32, then you need to "upgrade" it to Series 2 specs. What worries me is that the pathetic excuse for side intrusion bars in the S2 R32's actually passed ADRs...

that said your compliance would cost a lot more if the workshop had to test a custom made side intrusion bar for an S1 door, putting S2 doors on is the cheaper option.

Mate, that 32 probably cost shitall anyways.

A couple of doors is hardly something to fuss about. I see full doors including trim go for a couple hundred bucks for the pair.

I bet your copmliance is costing you shitall compared to what compliance used to cost. When I got my r33 imported, the price all around was 5k for RAWS copmliance. Every single place in all states were charging that.

for 5k, I could afford to buy a little spare parts division worht of doors.

Just found out I probably need to put late model doors on the 32 for complianceI just bought in Japan Land

can anyone confirm when Nissan started putting factory side intrusion bars in

ok. heres the problem. if your doing it under the 15 year rule. it wont work cos its not 15 years old.

and if its before 06/92 you cant either. under raws sheme.

unless you doctor the de-reg papers and the seatbelts and the brakehoses. also the vin number. for the "fast" screenshot that you need for an import aproval.

if its already here and being complied then yes. and god knows how they got it thru. we had to "export or destroy" our r32 test car cos it was a 6/92 not a 7/92 doh

15 yrs imports dont need the adr tested doors. cos they were not aussie deliverd. nor do they need a new cat etc etc.

its just bars/child restraints and mirror glass and a filler neck restricter. then engineers/bluslip etc etc.

I imported an R32 that didn't have side intrusion bars.

From what I understand, the problem is that the aftermarket side intrusion bars are not certified, or require an engineering certificate of some sort. However, they are identical to the series 2 intrusion bars.

What was done for me was to put the series 2 doors on for the engineers compliance, then revert back to original doors, now installed with the side bars.

It's really no different to taking out performance parts for compliance and putting them back in again later.

its 4/91 you can import 89 to June 91 or July 92 onwards

how hard is it to check the vin on fast to check the build date!

I would have thought you would know this if your a compliance shop remind me not to go through you ever

so my 91 doesnt have factory bars and I have to find some 92 onwards doors to fit up that make it clearer for you

I have a S2 R32.

Whats actually wrong with their side intrusion bars? Mine look absolutely massive, much larger and thicker than what was in my old VS commodore. :S

They occupy 1/2 of the door with only a small area at the top and bottom that is not covered; the intrusion bars look like a big arsed commerical roof support beam.

Mine was imported back in late 98 with 67,000km's on the clock. Interior really did look like a bran spanking new car. Its now cracked 238,000km's.

and if im not mistaken the sevs scheeme is no longer on isnt it. isnt that what raws is. the replacement??

dave, sevs and raws are both operating. RAWS (registered automotive workshop scheme) is what you need to go through to become a raw. a raw can then comply cars under SEVS (specialist, enthusiast vehicle scheme). so the two scheme's go hand in hand. lol, scheme is the right word...

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By hoodedreeper · Posted

      Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs

      Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
