D.i.y Compliance

[rol]

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.

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

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

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

[andy25]

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

1989 GTSTs didn't have them, but series 2 (91+) had them.

[funkymonkey]

Aug 1991 to be exact... all R32's before then need to have them retrofitted.

[andy25]

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

[oRiCLe]

rivet in the front and weld in the back of the door so the rivets are not seen when u open the door

Hi thanks for the helpful thread.

I'm importing my own personal car that I owned in Japan.

Just wondering what is the process like for self-imported car owners like myself?

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.

Rivet in so no welding or cutting.

can they be bolted in ? ... i no wat rivet is but a bolt is different

[GTsauRus]

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.

Do you have to have a engineering certificate for the car to be registered?

[Beer Baron]

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

[Mr Eps]
