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.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
