do these seats have a quick release to recline the chair forward or do u have to sit there and manually recline it to get access to the back

cheers

Hi mate, we have both lever type and winder type available - the mechanism type varies according to the colour seats - some use winder and some use the lever mechanism

We are awaiting out shipment to clarify the specifics

Cheers,

Steve

Not sure if this has been asked, but any chance of just getting a passenger seat? Got a brix II for the drivers seat and want a matching passenger seat of the same shape, cheers.

Dynamix, we can sell the seats individually, though they are $225 each.

Cheers,

Steve

Just want 2 know if any1 has installed these seats and want 2 know if they sit higher up then standard seats, as im 6 foot and have limited head room already.

These seats use quality material and similar steel frame to our existing range of sports seats and therefore are all ADR approved.

Hi, do you have any black/black ones left?

You said they are ADR approved, can you please tell me which ADRs they comply with? Also, all ADR compliant items have a registration number issued against them. Can you please quote the ADR reg number for these seats so I can verify it through the Dept of Regional and Transport Services who issue them. All I have to do is quote the number and they will verify that the item has ADR approval. This is common practice for ADR compliant safety related items.

As you know ADR approval is important so that people don't end up with 2 broken femurs or worse because the seat failed in an accident. This is a great deal, just want to do my homework before I order some though because crash safety is important and that's what ADR compliance checks on.

Kind regards

Hi mate, no worries at all.

Give Darron a call in the store on (02) 9545 0532 and he will confirm the ADR details you are after.

We sent our sample seats away for expensive testing, something that virtualy nobody else who is selling similar seats has done, so we wont be posting the specifics of the ADR testing on the forum itself.

What we are doing however, if giving customers who request it, a copy of the relevant ADR paperwork when they purchase their seats for verification.

If you have any further questions, dont hesitate to ask.

As mentioned, give us a call and either speak to me or to Darron and we will be more than happy to assist you.

Regards,

Steve

Thanks Steve, I'm impressed that you have taken the time and spent the money as the dodgy sellers won't - as you'd be aware, the the claim of 'ADR compliant' often fails under scrutiny. Just hate the thought of people being injured. The specifics of the testing are in the relevant ADRs for car seats so I don't expect you to post them, however if you can please post just the ADR registration number it means I and other buyers can verify with DOTARS that they are ADR compliant and have peace of mind regarding their crash worthiness (saves you the paperwork too). It's just a matter of calling them for the independant verification and then I can place my order.

Cheers

Thanks mate, and your entirely correct. Many other sellers claim their seats are "ADR Compliant" which is vastly different to a seat that is ADR approved.

For the peace of mind of our customers, we have had our seats put through the vigorous testing process to obtain the ADR approval.

This makes life a lot easier.

Regarding the actual ADR approval numbers, as I mention please contact us for these direct as Darron has this information.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Steve,

How far off are the seats???????

Thanks

Hi mate, the ETA at this stage is the 10th for the arrival of the container into our store.

We are hoping this doesnt change but unfortunately with all the shipping chaos around the ports at the moment, its hard to say for sure.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Steve,

I called Darron and he gave me a number. Unfortunately neither DOTARS nor the RTA recognised it. They also advised that the only way a seat can be ADR approved is for it to be either crash tested or inspected by an engineer, but in both cases it must be while the seat is fitted to a car and then the seat is only ADR approved for use with that specific model. The RTA then issue a 'no objection' letter in which they state that they have 'no objection' to the seat being fitted to that specific model. A consulting engineer who does inspections has verified this. In other words if I have the seat inspected and ADR approved in a Skyline, I can't assume that the same seat is ADR approved for use in a Silvia. Similarly you can't say a seat from a Focus is ADR approved when fitted to a Falcon, even though they may have past tests or inspection when fitted to their original vehicles. This is largely because the numerous relevant ADRs encompass not just seats but anchorages and head restraints also.

Both the RTA and the engineer told me that while seats alone could be tested ie have g forces etc applied to the point of failure at various load points, this would only result in a certificate that specified what tests were done and how, not that it complies with ADRs - as previously mentioned the seat needs to be fitted to a vehicle for that and then the approval is vehicle specific. Can you please advise exactly how these seats are ADR complied and for what, as right now it's a little confusing although the position taken by DOTARS and the RTA seems clear. Feel free to make your own enquiries to corroborate what I've found out.

Thanks

Please give me a call directly regarding this on (02) 9545 0532 tommorrow rather than questioning our products further here.

I need to confirm how DOTARS and the RTA fit into this, but what I know is we have all the ADR Approval paperwork, which also shows the results of the vigorous testing that the seats endure to gain the ADR approval.

Seats are engineered all the time when fitted to different vehicles. Engineering the seats in your particular car is something that you yourself may choose to undertake.

What we are selling, are ADR approved seats. Wether or not our customers fit them correctly or not is another issue all together.

We recommend all customers have their seats fitted by a competant workshop and have an engineer sign off on the installation to ensure compliance.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
