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

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
