the Car does NOT come from Japan with baby seat mounts. They need to be added here locally as part of the compiance process.

There are hooks in the floor of the boot but these are for tie downs for the luggage are and are not suitable for baby mounts.

There are 2 methods of putting in the baby seat mounts. They are always put in the roof above the boot and can be in either;

1) Just in front of the plastic trim at the top of the boot opening, (best method)

2) mounted through the plastic trim at the top of the boot opening, (this is where they drill through the outside of the car)

The 1st method is far superior but requires them to separate the roof lining slightly to put the mounting points in.

Ok cool, thanks.

I'm quite sure that Ben didn't have to drill any holes in my car, the only hole he drilled was through the plastic for the anchor to sit on the plastic trim.

:wub: Love the way Northshore do the anchor points.

:/ Mine came through a brilliant broker but a compliance shop that showed no love >_<

Strange the cars don't already come with anchor points??

They do have anchor points that are argueably better than the Australian standard. They are the ISO anchors at the back of the lower part of the seat behind the plastic covers. These anchor points connect directly to baby seats and hold the baby seat securely. (no stupid straps around the car)

But as normal, Australian Beaurcrats know more about safety than the rest of the world and we have our own SPECIAL standard.

Just make sure you have windscreen replacement in it. Its a b@tch if you dont and crack a windscreen

They sure do. I have it on my car with them. This is the best money you will ever spend if you get a smashed window on one of these cars

Even the Volvo specific system which is touted as the safest in the world IIRC doesnt meet our backwards stds.

Too right Andy, the ISOFIX system is head & shoulders above ours!

Of course, then the gold digging Australian child restraint manufacturers would have to compete with overseas manufacturers on a level playing field instead of having a captive market to milk.

Heh, my car is insured with NRMA for around what they quoted you, but in my mums name. I did the maths and found even if it was in my name with excesses and premium it would work out to be cheaper under my mums name even if I'm not listed as a driver even if I have an accident.

I recently got off my P's without any fines, demerits or infringements and still got quoted quite high, something like $2200. They also add excesses on top of that if I make a claim, go figure...

I'd be very careful with that.

If you are involved in an accident, and they deem you a regular driver but are not listed; they will void the policy.

The reason they quote high is because statistically, as a young driver; you are a high risk. Irrespective of your personal record.

It's part of life; I just refuse to use the companies now that ripped me off as a young driver.

They clamour for your business once you own a house, contents and a couple of cars...

When they ask what they can do to get my business; I tell them to apologise for being such arseholes when I was younger.

Now I just use Shannons.

NRMA will cover anyone that drives the car even if they are not listed, I double checked before I took the policy. It's just higher excesses.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
