I thought the existing child restraints were ok these days as they realised the Aus standard ones were inferior? Perhaps I am wrong though.

I'm starting to look into this, will probably have make 100 calls to get to the right Government departments but i will update you guys.

Ps. Rang Northshore Prestige but they have no idea as they said they're only providing the Compliance Plate and that's about it.

Would be very interested where you get with this as I would like nothing more than to do away with the terrible anchor point install that was done on my car.

As an aside, anyone know how the Japanese child seats are installed? Do they use the "luggage" tiedown points or something else?

I would say that they use the tie down points. If not there may be a thread point you can use and drill a small hole in the floor panel and use a floor type harness point.

To avoid misuse and mismatching, Toyota Motor Corp. and Takata Corp., a major seat-belt maker, have jointly developed a new child seat based on a standard called ISOFIX that was drawn up by the International Standardization Organization.

The new seat, to be introduced in August, has a base that locks easily with hooks set in the rear seat of the car. Connectors attach the seat to the top of the base.

Toyota spokeswoman Hitomi Hayakawa said the new seat is easy to install and can be fixed firmly to the interior of the car without a seat belt.

Dear Mr Kingdick,

 

Nothing is confirmed at the moment. I can’t give you any confirmation as to how the new system will look, operate nor what will be deleted, added or modified.

The system is still being developed at this stage with nothing set in concrete.

Anything you hear as being added, deleted or modified in the new system is guess work and should not be interpreted as fact.

 

Kind regards

Isofix is the standard everyone manufactures seats to except stupid Australia.
They have done for many years now; but ADR refused to validate the safety of the seats or the fixture points.
All European cars sold in Australia have been fitted with ISOFIX mounts for years now

ADR have been protecting our lazy, stupid, backward child restraint manufacturing industry because they refused to adopt the global standard, as it would open them up to competition from far better quality equipment.

Due to the death of our Motor industry; ADR was forced to accept international standards which far outstrip any local testing, as legal, and this has opened the way for ISOFIX seats.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
