Compliance shoudl cost you around the $1500 mark.

Can't help you with specific workshops down there..........most engineeers should be able to carry the work out for you, the bonus being that THEY are the ones signing it off so you know it is done right the first time.

To have the car complied to the ADR standards on an '89 import, the following things need to be addressed:

- Side Intrusion Bars

- Drivers Side Flat Mirror Glass

- Fuel Neck Restrictor

- Import VIN Plate Attached

- Seat Belts in Good Working Order

- DOT or "E" Rated Tyres

- Child Restraint Clips in Rear

The first four are the most important, and depending on the engineer doing the report, he may or may not be flexible/lenient on the last items.

Just to give more details and to confirm with riverside. sorry for lengthy post. This is all true I promise.

It was a nightmare just to save $300 bucks. For those in melb dont go near JapTralia or Leena? Engineering in Knox.

Would try and call 20 times a day with no answers or messages returned. Only got booked in cause I drove there. When I went to pick car up after confirming it had been completed, they said would not sign cert as wheels were too wide and exhaust too loud - far enough I thought.!

They were ok to this point even offered to lend me some wheels and an exhaust for the pictures and sign report. So booked in to it after weekend. (wed). went there on the wed and the guy had gone home just some workers there. So ask them when he was coming - they no he had gone for the day. I got them to call him saying I was here and willing to do the work and drive to meet him where ever to do pics and sign certificate. - he said no (remember this was even booked in). I then ask to speak with him, they came back and said he did not want to speak to me. Great!!! condisering I had VICroads booked for Fri.

I then booked in again to do the same thing on thurs. Arrived on thurs. again not there and not coming back....... So missed Vicraods appointment and had to also pay for it. Furthermore.. Now said would NOT lend me wheels or exhaust I had to do it myself somewhere else!

So booked in to have it done over the whole weekend and pick up sun morning. Got there guess what not there. Another 100 not answered phone calls and waited 3 and1/2 hours and he arrives.

No sorry, no discount nothing just rude..

And thats been the disaster of a cheaper place. I would pay double just to not go back to the place. Strongly reccommend you all stay away...

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
