Hi just in the process of geting a 15yo GTR on the road and wondering if anyone knew the exact location of the child restraint points on a Australian delivered GTR? A picture would be great,I don't want to remove my factory speaker grills. Also is there a factory highmount brake light that nissan used on these Australian delivered GTR's?

Also would a HKS superdrager cat back system JASMA aproved(quiet)and K&N pods get through engineering in vic?

Thanks

If you refer to the .pdf that lists all the Australian modifications to the 91 GTR's, under Section 268 - HIGH MOUNT STOP LAMP it lists the Nissan parts used. There are 10 bits listed, including screws,washers, etc.

If you don't have the .pdf and a search doesn't find it, let me know and I'll type up the part numbers.

The workshop manual doesn't show any mounting points for child restraints. The parts appear on the list I mentioned in the post above - fitment either by in-house memo or common sense? I don't know.

My GTR went through compliance in October. The child restraint anchor points were installed in the parcel shelf directly behind each speaker. They didn't remove or interfere with my factory speakers. The entire installation was actually done from inside the boot - three holes drilled for each anchor which are pop-riveted in place using 2 of the holes.

Ronin 09 has an Oz delivered R32 GTR so PM him about the brake light. In my case they used an aftermarket Hella unit and it looks fine, AFAIC.

My car has Apexi pods and they didn't give them a second look - they're not an engineering issue.

Exhaust could be a problem for 2 reasons:

- if it's too loud the engineer may not pass it (engineer dependant)

- replacing the cat is part of the compliance process and the cost is included in compliance charge. But the cat that is included is to suit a standard exhaust. If you have a big exhaust this creates a problem because getting a standard cat to fit is a headache + a performance restriction. In my case the engineer allowed me to fit a 3" high-flow (which I paid an exhaust shop to do), but gave me a discount for not fitting the standard cat.

Highmount brake light (sorry no better pics b/c of reflection on outside)

...and a 'Nissan' badge on the bonnet instead of the 'S'

;)

The Hella light usually used for the hi-mount brake light is the Hella 5237 I think from memory. Costs about $50 from your local Auto One or Repco shop should have them or be able to get them in. The thing about these lights is the angle is right for the R32 back window.

    • 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!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
