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... :( )

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

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

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
