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.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
