Long time no type :down: I think it's time i got my car back on the road after 10 months off the road. Can anyone help me out on the where abouts to get child restraints put in the rear? It needs to go through regency and that's the only thing amongst quite a few that i think im going to have trouble with. Also, I need a set of standard rear shocks, mine have been sitting around and the seals are shot. Would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I miss it :blink:

Hey mate.

Do u need all the child restrant bolts and covers? Pretty sure I got them. I would drill 3holes. One under each speaker and one in the middle with a nut on the end. They don't really look into them just make sure they are there and don't move.

This is a real long shot, not sure if they'll fit, but I have some Teins for r32 gtr sitting in my shed doing nothing, you're welcome to borrow them if they fit your 33.. (dont know since rear suspension differs between gts-t r32s and the gts4/gtr...)

Ryan ring up that import compliance place that used to be next to Japanese import spares, they installed mine for regency

the nuts bolts n brackets cost them stuff all but its the labour that cost the most, took him about 1 1/2 hours to fit and cost me about $130

im sure someone on here no's the name

Hell yeah! Where you disappear to? Welcome back.

I have nothing to assist you, but best of luck. Would love to see the 33 back on the road.

:(

Thanks Mate

Thanks Luke. I'll let you know..they might come in handy. :D

Thanks anyway mate but after standard gear.

Mitch i think would know the name he lives at JIS

welcome back Ryan

did it get defected? why you have to go over regency?

Thanks Steve. It got defected on a quiet Sunday morning driving to the servo to wash it about 10 months ago. Got defected for Track and too low. I didn't care too much. First time in 4 years it'd been defected. I put it in my workshop at work and totally forgot i owned it but it's collected enough dust now and needs to have it's cherry popped once again :O.

he needs eye shape ends so no gtr or r34 gtt stuff. NA r34, r33, s15 have eye shape ends.

s15 and r33 are interchangeable?

if so, youre more than welcome to use the struts i got sitting in the shed.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
