Hi All

As the title says, I did the work on my car to get it to rego standards. Contary to what I was initially told (check you own state or territory :)), you will require an engineers cert.

So heres the list:

Exhaust db :) took me about 2 hrs per side from opening the door - through to reinstalling and closing the door! VERY EASY JOB IF YOU HAVE SOME MECHANICAL ABILITY - YOU JUST NEED ACCESS TO A WELDER, OR SOMEONE WHO CAN DO IT FOR YOU. I am thinking of posting a 'HOW TO' if people are interested??? $280 for the bars inc postage (bris to Canb) ISASO QLD is the place to get them - Absolute perfect fit (well done guys :)).

High rear brake light - Kmart, $10 (I looked for 4 weeks for the long slimline one...)

Unleaded only sticker - $0, if you have a nice engineer :) (cheers John!)

Tyre placard (sticker) - if you have non original wheels / tyres. Again, see your engineer.

Plaque in engine bay, showing the new VIN number DOTARS issued to you (at the bottom) $15 from key king - computer engraved, stick on.

Additional things / Costs:

I removed my roll cage,

Had to remove tint on rear window (crying about that....) took a while as well!

Rear diff bearings (~$400 - $500) as the pinion bearing collapsed...

Engineer cert ~$450

I think that is everything.... as you can see - if you are prepaired to do the work yourself, financially you can be in front (I don't count my time, as I like tinkering with cars).

Any questions??

very good thread. Does the company make intrusion bars for any car or just skylines? So is as I thought you dont need to pay a compliance person $0000's, you can do it yourself and take it to be registered?

Messiah

The stock mirrors have a banana bend in them (Concave), like the one's that have 'objects may appear closer than they look'. The ruling was to change this to a 'flat' type of mirror for compliance (to give you a 'normal' view), but this rule has since been replaced. (don't ask me what the ADR # is!!!)

ISASO in QLD 07 3200 3988 (speak to Steve) to bars for all sorts of imports - not just Lines :) They do a damn fine job, and are very reasonable on $ (plus they are dead easy to install). Yes, you can do it yourself and get an engineer to certify :D Save

Nah, you need new ones with ADR markings on them. Fuel restrictor also needs to be fitted... where you'd get leaded fuel from anyway I dont know....

I still did my mirrors anyway.

You dont need rear belts or child restraints if you take the back seat out (you do need to put a 'permanent fixture' in the back though to prevent you just sticking the seats back in, I just used MDF to cover the hole through to the boot, and covered that with speaker carpet. Also covered the floor where the seat would be so theres no paint showing

Hi Guys

Yes, it is for 15 yr old cars;

No, you don't need the restrictor in the neck of the fuel filler - just the sticker (where are you going to get leaded petrol these days!?!?!?!?);

No, you don't need to change the seatbelts - discuss with your engineer;

Yes, it was for a GTR - but will be similar for most Jap cars;

Rims/Tyres - your engineer can supply you with a NEW tyre placard showing the rims / tyres as certified;

I used the most expensive oils - redline;

I rang heaps of places, but none could do it for close to the money that it cost me, aside from that - I was able to get a good knowledge of the car.

Cheers

Can you explain the reasoning behind not having to do seatbelts and the fuel restrictor??

I understand some rules about things might be different state to state but ADRs are ADRs. ( AUSTRALIAN design regulations) or whatever it stands for.

Also for some reason, when my 15 year old import was complied they also had to change my sun visors.

Not sure what for though, they couldnt even tell me the reason.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
