hey everyone, just going thru some of the motions of getting my car ready for compliance (15 year rule)

ive removed both door trims from my 1990 R32 Gtst and found what appears to be side intrusion bars installed from factory on the drivers side door?

is this correct? or could they have been put there aftermarket in japan (why??)

and the passanger side doesnt have them..

if this is the case and i am correct does that mean for compliance i will only be needing to get aftermarket ones installed into my passanger door?

if this is the case im cheerin coz thats going to save me a fair bit of money.

even still, check out the pics and let me know your thoughts! thanks peeps

woops.

ok that is a 1992 onward door. it would of been replaced in japan.

i love pulling of the door trims and seing them when im complying 32s

its quite common on 32s as i think you cant buy the non intrusion bar boor from nissan(safty reqirment)

the other side get some 50*20*2.5mm blu tube cut it to 1113mm

get 75*6mm plate. cut one bit to 150mm the other to 100mm

and one piece of plate about 10mm long.

weld the 100mm bit to the bar (longways) leaving about 20mm of the plate overhanging the end of the bar

get the 150mm plate and weld the 10mm one on the end of the plate (making the plate thicker at the end)

at this point you will need to take it to somone who has put them in the dors before because it to dificult to explain on paper :D

yeh, if you have a magic bar on the drivers side, then the car has been smacked into at some point in japan, and they've replaced it with the r32 update door (1991+).

As long as the rest of the car doesn't have signs of dodgy repair, should be ok..

cool.

well i suppose this can be seen as good and bad -

on one hand i dont have to get bars for that door but on the other hand the cars been smaked.

i assume RTA wont have a problem with there being 2 different ones in the doors? ie only having receipt for one side of the car? so long as they are both there right?

ill take the other door off the car and take it to SA chassis over here where ive heard theve got a good reputation for doing this stuff to imports. so thats shaved alot of bucks off my compliancing cost.

thks guys

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
