Hello everybody,

Im chasing vert' doors to get my car over the pits. Its on the wharf at the moment, and i just realised that shaved door handles means NO door handles (not that she wanted to keep clean).

Any ideas or suggestions to get my baby over the pits will be appreciated.

Heres a link for pics of my car in japan. Compliments and constructive insults are appreciated :D . Its my first import and its a touch wild.

heres that damn link

You need to go to see Raj at Jap Parts www.jappartswa.com.au/ as he can comply it and has a lot of standard bits you will be needing to get it over the pits, if the doors are a different colour it wont get signed off as the pits will go were are the doors it came with (swapping doors for side intrusion bars is a old trick).

A new version (10) of the vehicle sign off is out and a couple of changes due to workshops taking short cuts, I dont do them any more as it was to hard to justify the cost.

Hand Brake needs to lock, are the seats FIA/ADR stamped, front bar needs full support, was any of the radiator support cut to fit the front mount, ride hight, bonnet needs to be steel, are the guards steel or glass, tyre/rims, guages all over field of view, front seat belts are need and what exhaust is fitted.

That is just from looking at the photos, who sold you this with out highlighting a few things.

Heya All!

Just received a call from the Head of the pits (Welshpool) and they said that i dont need to have external door handles!

Good news, as my fc3c complete door search/lend is quite a failure.

One less thing to worry about on the pits, his stance on stiff suspension is that it should have **some** play when you push down on it, unlike most jap cars with coilovers where it doesnt bounce down nor up.

What a sigh of relief, and i should take delivery of it within the next 2 days.

Will look at that list DRIFTT and see what i can do.

Cheers ;)

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
