g'day all,

i just took the door trim off my 1994 r32 GTR to fit some sound deadening, and i can't see any side intrusion bars in there.

i know it was complied in nsw, but how should i find out who did it?

hmmm...i wonder what legs i have to stand on...what should i do?

Cheers,

M..

well....the company that complied it is named on the compliance plate under the bonnet.

So if you do want to do something about it contact them and see what they say. And if you still want to do more and they won't co-operate take it up with DOTARS.

Are you realy shure that theres nothing in there? Because the late 32GTR's came factory fited with side intrusion bars. It looks like a fairly puny little thing that runs along the inside of the doors. Ive got one in my passenger door in my 32 GTR

get pics up and make sure that you definately dont have them, after that, dont bother with the workshop, go straight to dotars and get em shut the f*ck down. if they are taking shortcuts when it comes to your safety, f*ck em!

hi all,

thanks for all the good replies, i really appreciate it.

a) i can't be absolutely sure that there is no bar in the door - if they're small i may have missed it

b) i haven't checked the driver's side, this will help me compare them

c) i've contacted DOTARS by email, no reply as yet

d) obviously if the door has no bar fitted, i'll get them put in.

it's an interesting problem - there's a moral hazard to not telling dotars, and a moral hazard to telling them...hmmm....

cant get them put in supposedly unless the compliance shop can source Raw's compliant ones

which mine couldnt :)

suplier is in Queensland supposedly and hadnt made any yet

there right up the top not like the aftermarket ones they put in and are hard up against the outer door skin

u can no longer put aftermark intrusion bars in for RAWS vehicles they must be OEM fitted trusion bars and doors. as for trying to contact DOTARS its kinda pointless the workshop will just say they were there wen we complied it..

Who told you this? This is the opposite of what I've heard and seen recently.

This is the same as what happened to my car, as they weren't allowed to just add intrusion bars so i had to get some white doors with OEM bars fitted and paint them black

hi guys,

ok, here's a photo looking up towards the top of the door, on the inside:

should there be anything there? i don't know if there's something behind that bulging but of metal in the middle of the picture.

btw i thought the same thing as razor - that you can use oem parts for these units?

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
