Hi,

I am just wondering if I can make the compliance procedure any easier by swapping later model doors over before the car arrives in Australia. For example:

1. Purchase an 89/90/91 model while I am in Japan

2. Fit later model doors to it before importing

3. Go through compliance without having to worry about finding new doors

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Cheers :)

Thanks guys. I've also been trying to find out when the side-intrusion bars came standard, but apart from the eligible import date of June 1992 onwards, I can't find any more information. I tried e-mailing RAWS, but was told to contact a compliance workshop instead.

Does anyone know from when the intrusion bars came stock with these cars? Might help me in my search for replacement doors in the future!

Many thanks :)

Mid-term type: 1991 August 20th -

Under carriage number 212001 –

* Addition of side impact door beam

you just need to do a visual inspection on any door you might want to purchase you can see the bars by looking through the outer edge of the glass rubber with a small torch.

there was no specific start or stop for the use of the side intrusion bars and you can only assume the factory used up all non intrusion bars the just went on with the newer type.

i have bought 1993 doors for customers and found them to be non intrusion type but again i can only assume these were fitted to the donor car as replacement after an accident.

cheers, Phil

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
