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... :( )

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
