I also spoke to Raj about compliance for my BNR32. Very helpful. He faxed me the entire v10 ADR compliance document so I could perform the easy stuff myself and leave the rest to him. :)

Going thru it, i've come across the following:

adr 7/00 hydraulic brake hoses - requests for SAE/FMVSS/DOT compliance. My car came with braided stainless steel lines. Will these need to be replaced?? hope not. :P

cheers

Hi, I just bought an uncomplied cefiro off a mate and Im getting it ready for compliancing in south Australia.

It has:

Side Intrusion Bars (do I need an engineers report?)

Child restraints

Fuel filler neck and sticker.

I need a tyre placard? (anyone got one for a cefiro?)

I need seatbelts (what seatbelts should I use for a cefiro?)

will coil overs pass regency or should I try and find some standard struts?

anything else Ill need?

in sydney you pay 1200(100 more if you want the blue slip) for a shop to do the same thing(about the same price you payed for all the things but you did them)

advantage i think you would get is you might use better grade oils

the main advantage to me would be that the car is with and u know exactly whats been done

Does anyone know what year Side intrusion bars came standard in all cars by law??

Curious if a 1991 gtr would already have them? I thought they came in in a standard in 1990 or somthing

Also the best way to find and engineer to do the sign off is to just call dotars yeah?

Tryin to find workshops that would do S I bars in rockhampton is gona be HELL or impossible

Ahh thanks for that lads ^_^.. I knew it was somthing like that.. Another Q tho why would anyone bother welding them in when they can be riveted does it look just as strong? im almost sure all this has been brought up before so sorry

Depends on the engineer that signs em off. One of the ones we use prefers to have them welded in on both sides, and won't sign off on the car otherwise. Another gets em down from QLD, bolts/rivets em in and signs it off, although he won't sign off on it unless it was installed by him.

hi

I complied my gtr last year in nsw

used a u shape bolt in bracket at the front so the door was not removed and L shaped bracket at the back with countersunk 5mm stainless screws that are hidden under the door rubber.

have to remove the storm mold and the window and window regulator

no welding on the car 2x 8mm holes drilled behind the front of the door trim and 2x 5mm holes drilled under the door rubber at the rear.

the bars are 25x50 rhs

the full length bar can be manouvered in through the top slot of the door after the window has been removed because the end brackets bolt on

it took me a week to do both sides including lots of time measuring and checking for glass clearance.

no, what you need is compliance and the CIN that you get from the complier. apart from that you need to check state requirements. in NSW it's a blue slip inspection. and 'engineering certificate' is a pretty general term and covers a lot of things. they are usually done to certify non-standard vehicle modifications though.

i live in qld and i just recently bought an 89 nissan infinity q45 uncomplied. it has been in australia since december 2004. im wanting to do an engine conversion in it and do away with the vh45 as its seized up. i wont be putting another vh45 in. i know the engine needs to be running for compliance. however does it need to be the standard one? also im looking at upgrading brakes/ suspension and putting in a rollcage. am i able to do all the modifications including the engine conversion then just see an engineer once? also can someone point me in the direction of everything thats needed to be done in qld for compliance purposes. thanks Dale

    • 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.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
