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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
