I took my series 2 r33 gts-t coupe in for a blue slip today as I'm changing the rego from ACT to NSW.

The mechanic points out to me the compliance plate which clearly states a seating capacity of 5.

any body can see that they're a 4 seat car

He'd already rang (insert proper authority here) and they gave him no real answer.

unsure of what to do he told me to fit a centre seat belt in the back for it to pass.

Am I going to be the only 5 seat r33 in NSW ? or has someone else been through the same thing?

My R32 GTS is complied as a 5 seater but only has 4 seats.. whats the deal there? are all two door R32s four seaters? i bought it a couple of weeks ago and the rego had run out, i just got new rego no probs

End of Story: r32s-34s came from nissan as 5 seaters. I.e. they all had a lap seat belt. There is no such thing as whether the compliance place bothered to 'install' a centre belt, because they already had one.

There is no reason for them removing it either. Strange things happen, maybe it was cheaper for them to obtain their compliancing for that model of car by removing the centre seatbelt.

Just check that the centre belt hasn't fallen into the hole. If it has, i'm sure you'll be able to find one off a wreck for like $20-50$. There will already be reinforced holes for the buckle and belt under the seat.

All seat belts get replaced to australian approved ones and I'd say when it went through compliance the

work shop was to lazy/cheap to put the centre belt in

As Hootchy said, they have to be removed when complied...so yeah I'll stick to my previous comment of lazy compliance companies that don't do their job and replace them...I know for a fact my current R34 was complied to the letter, my last one was questionable.

well, not only is my R32 GTR registered as a 5 seater (and please dont tell me my car came from nissan as a 5 seater) but on my rego sticker my car is registered as a "nissan sedan". My car could be a maxima for all transport SA knows.

Note: i did all the regency paperwork and took the car through myself after compliance and did not mis-represent the car in any way

yes lang, believe it or not, ugly poo gtrs are 5 seaters from nissan. Although it doesn't look like you can sit on the hump, it is a seat.

How do I know? when we brought in a couple of them (reads - my dad has 1, bro has one) they both had middle lap belts from japan.

Your copmlier obviously removed them.

    • 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)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
