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.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
