Not many workshops know how to do them in a fashion that doesnt crease the lining. There's a trick to do them neatly.

Yeah, mine were not done neatly either, seems there are huge washers used and the lining is bulging in sections :(

It's no biggie but it's not good workmanship :(

I have seen some work shops actually drill right through the roof of the car and bolt them in the valley above the tailgate.....Not pretty and leaves a huge risk of rust and water leaking into your car. On top of that they made three large holes in the plastic cover in the roof at the tailgate and when they mounted the anchors the plastic cracked........

thank god mine were done well. Thanks Ben.

Ouch, I hope that is not how mine has been done. I havn't taken it off to have a look but now I'm afraid to do so.

I do have a small water leak on the right hand side of the vehicle right at the back, however I'm hoping this leak is coming from the small crack in my rear sunroof rubber. I do have a new rubber but Hornsby Nissan were unable to fit it due to needing specialist equipment. I'm hoping someone like Windscreens Obrien or someone who specializes in servicing automotive sunroofs can fit the new rubber.

Crease the plastic, leak water past the rear door rubber, look bloody stupid, the retard that installed mine should be shot. Wanker. Surely there are simple instructions to follow for installing such an important safety item, the government wouldnt let people just guess how to do these things would they?

Yeah it wouldn't surprise me to be honest.

+1 from me as well... :(

Properly fitted with no roof lining creases by Northshore...

On my old R33 4dr, this has also been done properly, and my car was one of the few where they were not installed through the rear speakers... Could not belive that SEVS workshops were just drilling through the speakers to make their job easier..

Mine are badly done. Straight through the metal behind the boot seal.

They leaked in the rain until I sealed them up.

I actually need to take it all apart and check for rust.

The interior trim is wrecked as well.

I honestly don't understand the kind of mind that is happy to do such a shitty job.

Actually I'm going to make a confession. Before I realised the child restraint anchors were on the roof, I used the latches on the boot floor thinking they were the right ones to use..

Using your method, you can fit several car seats :D

The anchor points are good though, I've used them with cargo straps... nice and strong :banana:

Hi, Anybody from NZ here that has had the babyseat anchors added to their M35 Stagea? I'm located in Hamilton.

Cheers,

Tom

I would have "assumed" that your compliancing rules would have been the same as ours, and it would have been done before being registered.

Anyway, if you need them done you may be best off talking to a compliancing workshop, don't know if there is one in hamilton but it could be worth a shot.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
