My compliance officer does not remove the FRONT doors of cefiros, however the rears are removed as it is easier to fit the bars that way.

As far as cost for paperwork etc is concerned that will vary from state to state, as some will require full written reports etc.

Guys

Re side intrusion bars - give ISASO (on the web) a call, I got my bars for my R32 GTR from them and with freight to canberra it cost me $280.  It is a very easy job to fit them your self, but you will need some basic tools and a welder.  

It is very easy to do - I did both my doors in about 3 1/2 - 4 hours (having no idea where to start!!)  do a search on 15 yr old compliance (or something like that) and you will find a detailed thread I made.

enjoy.

do they mount inside near the door catch? so u didn't need to paint the door skin? what about the inside of the doors, btw mig or spot weld?

You my friend are a complete tool.

c'mon mate, ur not even going to give a reason why i'm a tool?

sorry kill HSV

i think that you need to read up on some import stuff

for you to suggest that STAGEA man is in the wrong forum proves your lack of knowledge, seeing as a stagea is basically a skyline station wagon.

Also dont **** with Side intrusion bars, because not everyone gets killed if you are t boned. Just pay the money and stop complaining.

actually yes i did know they were on the same platform otherwise this wouldn't be possible

(Without heaps of work), they may be on the same platform but their chalk and cheese, family wagon vs. performance car.

i'm pretty sure all the stageas come as auto, so not intended as a sports car.

how can u say that not everyone gets killed? facts?

i also hear that a select number come with the RB26DETT engine in them, that is in no way a family wagon.

and if side intrusion bars save oner person there worthwhile. that 1 person may be you or someone you care for.

if you cannot afford 200-300 for 2 bars i sugest you sell your car now as sports cars arnt a cheap toy.

Hrmm. I'm with some people that has already replied.. You my friend need to get your facts straight. Stagea also comes in manual (expensive tho) and also there are the 260rs versions which are RB26DETT in the wagon (which to my knowledge only comes in manual). I definitely would not call a 260rs a family wagon... :)

well, most '80s and earlier model cars released in australia didnt' have side intrusion bars in the doors. My mums ford laser doesn't, my GSR Cordia doesn't - it's a safety thing obviously, but i can understand why some people might want to skimp on them.

while on the topic of side intrusion bars, do 4 door cars such as the 4dr R32 skyline that i have coming over - do the rear doors need them aswell as the fronts?

Yeah these bars sound great until you,ve seen a passenger seat sliced nearly in two horizontally by the  u beaut side intrusion bar after a side impact. I,m sure that would,ve saved the passenger.......................... SUFFERING!

who the hellinstalled the bar? was it welded in or just riveted?

umm funny you should say that, in my experience side intrusion bars do a pretty good job of keeping another car out of the passenger seat

Last temptation..........If you remove the door trim and remove the plastic liner......you should be able to spot a large rectangular bar running horizontally across your door.

Alternatively, you may be able to see rivets on the door near the latch........they often rivet them in to ensure it stays still whilst welding.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
