Cefiro Adr Approved Seatbelts Wanted

[cefilo]

Hey guys, i am based im Brisbane, and am in the process of complying my 88 cefiro.

My engineer has just told me there is a 4 to 6 week wait on ADR approved seatbelts.

Does anyone have any seatbelts or know anywhere that i can get these ASAP, as i do not want to wait 4 to 6 weeks just for seatbelts.

Seatbelts must be ADR approved, i am willing to pay good money for these.....as this is the only thing holding me back from getting my ceffy on the road.

Any info would be greatly appreciated

Thanx guys.

repco , auto one etc all sell adr approved seatbelts

[Mr Eps]

erm...

ok dude... here's the score...

i have RECENTLY got my cefiro over the pits in WA which i'm sure you think is irrelevant but i can guarantee you your engineer is feeding you horse poop

cefiro standard seatbelts ARE adr approved based on their hydraulic retention system. phone up the ADR agency, they'll point you in the right direction. to the best of my knowledge to this date there is nothing non ADR about your seatbelts

rather than chasing your tail trying to get seatbelts that (trust me) don't exsist. get in touch with your licensing dept in your state, ask to speak to the "tech" dept. ask them with regards to cefiro seatbelt compliance, they will either have an answer for your or will be able to help you with this further

the reason i'm knowledgable in this matter is because the "pit" inspector told me all about this how the nissan cefiro is one of the only japanese imports that HAS seatbelts that ARE adr approved, because they operate on a different system.

think of it this way, your car is trying to impress a governing body. your engineer is a third party in this matter, what he says is not the be all and end all. i'm sure he/she means well by changing the seatbelts and this is merely a case of them assuming every seatbelt needs to be changed however with the a31 nissan cefiro to the best of my knowledge this is not the case,

please foolow up this matter with your governing body before trying to go down this thankless and expensive and labour intense task.

i'm not guaranteeing you success here i'm just speaking from recent experience =)

15 year old compliance is different from state to state.

My Ceffy is registered 100% legitimately in VIC with no seatbelts having to be changed (front or back). In NSW where my dad is, its required to have the seatbelts changed to ADR approved ones (aussie A32 maxima seatbelts are the easiest to source). I really couldn't be f**ked jumping through the hoops of NSW's arcane registration system, so the ceffy's remained with VIC rego, even though it lives in NSW for most of the year.

So Mr Eps, regardless of what goes down in WA, it doesn't apply in any other state. All signatories in each state are instructed to follow the state vehicle standards guideline. unfortunately this guideline varies from state to state. You can negotiate all you want, but you can't change the state law... not unless you go thru a long political process or court process anyways.

SEVS on the other hand (non 15yr old imports) are a national set of rules and laws so all states must follow the same rules.

[Mr Eps]

well yeah that's what i was saying dude, i was of the opinion that ADR was a federal set of rules, not state, my bad

[funkymonkey]

sorry dude, didn't quite get what you meant. yeah ADR's are federal, but in addition to complying with ADR's your car must also comply with state vehicle standards guidelines to be registered. its the state guidelines that fark ya up re seatbelts in QLD and NSW. its the same guidelines that say a pod filter is OK in VIC, but not in WA.

Hi

I was put onto a firm called ISASO (07) 32003988 who I bought some belts through, think they did compliancing. It was a while ago so not sure what they are upto now. I had to ask for Steve out the back.

The belts were nothing special, no shoulder height adjustment.

Hope this helps.

[Mr Eps]

its the same guidelines that say a pod filter is OK in VIC, but not in WA.

sorry to get off topic but they are all good over here so long as they are securely braced =)

...we actually get away with quite a lot over here...

...BACK on topic!

There are many reasons why his compliance workshop may be saying he needs new seatbelts cefiro seatbelts are ADR approved as they have the code ELR-VW on the seatbelt tags but his seatbelts could be worn,frayed, not dual locking anymore the fasteners not securing properly all requiring new seatbelts to be fitted.

so....... if your seatbelts are all mint and the tags on them say ELR-VW or ELR-VWII then your engineer is having a lend and trying to gip you otherwise you need to source new ones
