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.

Child restraint point (i think?) one on each side

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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
