Hey Guys,

As the topic says, we've got our 1st bub arriving very soon...and yes the R34 sedan will no doubt be more of a taxi now! (trying not to trade it in for a SUV).

Need some advise from all those parents out there who had manage to fit a baby capsule in the centre back sit of their R34s.

- How many anchorage point do i need? currently has 2 on the speak shelf, do i need one on the floor?

- Which brand of baby capsule fits best or u recommend?

- With the new regulations and all, any other handy tips would also help. :thanks:

Thanks in advance!

:cheers:

Hey, You only need the 2 of the speaker, just double check to make sure they are secure and not lose.

I've had my niece and nephew in both my r33 and my r32 gtr without a problem.

Also best to go a big baby shop and they should allow you to test fit the baby seat in the car it make sure it will fit without an issue but im pretty sure all should fit

Yep, just the two on the parcel shelf, and then the standard seat belt goes through the back of the capsule.

As mentioned above, check how the anchor points have been fitted, as they are generally fitted during compliance, and alot of places do a really bodgy job of it.

Best of luck with the new bub :thumbsup:

cheers guys thanks for the replies.

we've bought one of those steelcraft travel system with the transferable baby capsule to the pram. Only just fits in the centre back seat with a 1mm to spare but had to move both the back rest on both front sit though. Plus there is actually a centre anchor point in the back.

so all is good i hope... :cheers:

p.s. boostin the car as much as i could before bub gets in (no more boostin then... :( )

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
