Hey guys just wondering if anyone else has had a leaking problem on the attachments for car? mine has had this problem since i got it but as i park underground and it only seems to happen when its parked in a big down pour it hasn't been an issue but i wouldn't mind fixing it anyways.. Any suggestions?

Yes.

Suggestion would be to silicone the hell out of it or remove them and bog up the holes (what I will be doing).

This only is an issue on non-Northshore Prestige cars due to lazy workmanship when installing the roof anchor points.

Why not use the other points on the floor?

Thanks mate, i was wondering if they were something added here during compliance. And i know the guys who complied mine were super dodgy. So many things i know they are meant to do that they didnt. Guess this weekend will include this job now.

Still trying to get a reasonable price on the replacement panels so if you are removing them I will let you know what I come up with (my Nissan dealership couldn't believe the price their system came up with :()

I removed the brackets and used silicone to seal the holes, no leaks now.

Definitely dodgy compliance, and even worse, you pay them to rape your car in the name of safety. lol.

I'll pulled mine out, sent em back to Canberra anonymously telling them to stick it up their cake hole. I then cleaned up the holes, rust proofed them, siliconed and replaced the plastic trim. First mod I did on my previous Axis and this one.

Yes because you'll be using them now Cam... :yes:

The ones in the floor are cargo restraints, not the child tether/latch ones.. Please, please, please do not use them... If you are in an accident, the legal ramifications are not worth thinking about... Same issue as using an isofix or EU approved child seat in AUS.. Please just don't do it... It's like the ADR's BS regulations to protect "Australian Interests"

However, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and potentially the EU regs will be allowed from 2014.

I loved the ISOFIX mounts. Had it in my Mazda 3 and worked much better then the stone age ADR approved anchor point/belt combo...

Protecting local interest sounds about right.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
