 Help! How to comply Mk3 1989 Supra in SA?

Hi all, first time post here!
I recently imported a 1989 7MGTE Supra Turbo from Japan under the 15yo rule but i understand there's a few things i need to do to the car first before i can register it in South australia. The car is stock standard with no modifications whatsoever.
So for South Australia:
1. Do i need to get side intrusion bars? Are they in the car already? If not, where can i purchase them and who can install them?
2. Where can i purchase the child anchorages? And where would the child anchorage points go in the rear seats? Pictures would be great!
3. Do i need to replace the seatbelts even if they're working? If so where can i get them?
4. Do i need a unleaded fuel restrictor?
5. Anyone know a good/cheap engineer in Adelaide who can certify all the ADR requirement and give good advice?
Thanks everyone!

As far as I know..
1. Yes, unless the car already has them
2. I don't think that child anchorages fit in the Supra (being a hatch and all). Find an Aussie delivered and go from there.
3. Yes - you need retractable seatbelts made to meet australian standards. I wouldn't try using secondhand ones.
4. Definately. Try a wrecker or toyota spare parts. Not sure if there is aftermarket ones. Don't forget the Unleaded fuel only sticker.
5. No.

Thanks lumpy  But still have a few unanswered questions  So to take the questions 1 step further..
1. Anyone knows where to buy side intrusion bars for a Mk3 Supra?
2. Anyone with a Australian delivered Mk3 supra and can supply some pictures of the rear child restraints?
3. Anyone know where to buy new seatbelts for the Supra? Will Rocca Bros, Supercheap autos or autopro have them?
4. Thanks. will hunt them down at the wreckers.
5. engineers? There must be some good ones out there in Adelaide
Thanks in advance guys!

You should be able to find an aussie delivered ma70 at a wreckers (not common but you can get lucky) and buy the side intrusion bars from the doors. Otherwise ask here on toymods.
Auto shops should have new seatbelts, just find the size of your current ones and match. Make sure they are compliant to the Australian Standard though.

I have imported and complied around 10 supras.
Side intrusion bars are needed. They are usually custom made. I can supply them for $150 each - and require fitting.
I can provide child restaint anchor points. $15 each. I can also provide photos of them installed in one of my imports.
Front seat belts DO NOT require replacing in NSW, not sure about other states. Rear seatbelts need to be changed from Lap to Lap/Sash.
I have an engineer here north of Sydney that engineers my cars for $220.
If you have any further questions, make sure you ask someone that has done it all before, so you get the right answers. I import Supras and other cars from Japan for a living, I have done compliance many times before, and I am happy to help as much as I can.

I just got my AW11 registered after importing it from tokyo.
If you want my advice do NOTHING to the car and take it through regency for an inspection.
When it fails you will have a complete list of everything that you have to do to get it registered.
This has 2 advantages.
1) you dont waste time and money doing things that you might not have to.
2) things that you might have missed will be covered (like suspension bushes that may need to be changed).
If I were doing my car again thats how I would do it.
