im not to sure, but it was never imported under the new RAW. So its not one they are looking for. I belive your seat belts would have been changed to Australian ones. Under the new system they leave them as they USED to meet the ADRS.

you really should have these belts checked...sounds like retractor is not positioned & tightened correctly ....remove the rear seat & quarter trims and have a look

bwaahahaha!! DOTARS screwed up on this one. The seatbelts on 91-93 Soarers do not comply with the relevant ADR (even though they are perfectly safe), however some paper pusher at DOTARS accepted these non-complying belts when the workshop (I know of at least one, however this may be the case accross the board) presented their evidence package.

The workshop did everything right and due to DOTARS' screw up, all these cars have had to be recalled. Word of advice to anyone owning these cars: simply decline the request to have complying seat belts fitted. They can't force you to do it and it will only cost you money.

The same thing happened with a bunch of Delicas and their swiveling (not allowed under ADR's) seats and when DOTARS initiated a recall, if the owner of the vehicle did not wish to make the necessary modifications, there was nothing they could do.

This is off my inspection report for the Soarer we just did, it was nothing to do with DOTR's stuffing up the RAWS should of known to check them 1.1 SVE Doc shows belts as being duel sensitive, vehicle fitted with belts marked "V" (not duel sensitive) Should read VW on belt.

Mainly 91 some 92 Soarers, we are fitting aftermarket belts like used under CPA some people will use 1993 factory belts.

And being a safety issue if you refuse to have the recall fixed by RAW you vehicle regerstration will be cancelled.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
