LOL. does anyone else think its funny we have to know rocket science to own a import.

I mean its getting outa hand. We have to know the ins and outs of everything. We will have to know the name of the person on the production line in Japan who fitted the ash tray soon.

People say they are lucky when they get pulled over and just warned. I say its unlucky, Cant I just drive to work etc without being pulled over and hassled?

What about the people that have just bought an Import. Some people honestly wouldnt know what a turbo timer is. , They get pulled over and the officer will tihnk they are just some smart ass punk.

Interesting.

Isotta, momo, monza autotechnica (they also stock car specific adr rails too), and a shitload of others now... few years ago it was only momo.

Most seats nowadays come with ADR approval (all of jjr range for example), however the rails is where youre stuffed.

For a 2 door you must have reclineable seats unless its registered as a 2 seater. For a 4 door it can be either as long as its ADR approved with ADR approved rails.

I asked the regency inspector last time i went through :(

Funny how when i mentioned a roll cage i was given a list of 5 things that needed to be done, none of which had anything to do with the quality of the cage installed. For all they cared I could have gotten my dog to weld it in.

Standards = FAIL

Thanks for that info :(

Too true. When I had a cage installed in my 1600 I had a massive debate over the stupid $1200 charge for a chassis test, to prove the roll cage improved (minimised) the flex of the chassis. I argued its quite obvious that a roll cage would improve the its rating on the chassis test. Ended up tracking down an engineer who had done just the test to the same vehicle and same 4 point cage.

It was like saying "we need you to pay $1200 to prove those Brembos improves the braking of your vehicle". Its kinda bloody obvious isn't it? Why do I need to spend lots of cash to prove how stupid your request is?

faxed off my application to modify a motor vehicle just after lunch...see how we go....what needs to be done...shouldnt be too much really seeing as in std N/A form...a good RB30e will punch out around 110-118kw..and my turbo version is only pumping out 141.0kw at the moment

Might be a week or two before you hear back. The list of requirements will come via snail mail, and you'll have 12 months to carry them out.

the vehicle standard dudes tol me the other day that you can have a fixed back seat as a drivers and a reclineable for the passanger in a two door car. they also told me to put any questions like that forward in writing and they will reply in writing.

Good news for me, fixed back drivers, reclinable passenger

^^ logic tells you thats bullshit, the drivers seat is reclinable from the factory so that passengers can get in and out! lul

dont shot the messenger, champ. feel free to put it to the test before you call bullshit.

not shooting the messenger at all, perhaps you misinterpreted where that was aimed. ie, not at you.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
