OK so my seatbelt is shagged and im trying to take it out but i need to remove the back seats. Problem is they are bolted down the sides (actually only one side is bolted) and i cant get to the bolt. The seats have little metal apendages up the top that they hook into. DOwn the sides the bolt is positioned so that the bottom seat cushion is in the way and its impossible to take it out. I've tried every tool i can think of, i have achieved about an 8th of a turn, and its not jammed or anything its just freaking hard to get to. In a few minutes im just going to crack it and snap the bolt off. Any one know how to remove the fugn thing?

Car is a r32 gts-turbo

cheers

Yay, got it, solution = 50cm long phillips head screwdriver, alot of levering down with a crow bar, to get the driver in and alot of 2 handed twisting. Swear to god if i ever find the dick that came up with this design, zzz

Seat belt thingy was rooted, some plastic gear had snapped in about 30 places, and i cant figure out how to get the buckle off the belt so ima just cut it

Not sure what you're carrying on about. You need to remove the squab (the bit you sit on) first - that then exposes the bolts securing the back in place.

Now, the squab can be a bit of a bugger to get out, and I've generally had success simply peeling the squab back a bit and getting the bolts with a socket on an extension rod.

yeah you pop off the horizontal part first, what you sit on, i used a crowbar and you will hear a loud noise. Took me ages to pop it off as i thought id break something. Then there will be 2 screws located holding the vertical part, and finally the hooks at the top :woot:

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      V37 Radiator removal

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
