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?

+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.

      The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter

      Single Turbo Conversion On R32 GTR.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
