Hey guys,

I've noticed that the rear drivers seat squeaks.

Its the shoulder of the seat rubbing against the wall of the car - make sense? :)

This is also an incovnience when I have the ladies in the back seat, and I haven't got the "..its the leather", excuse to fall back on. :woot::)

I'm thinking it may be a tad loose, but then again I'm ripping it against the wall to see what's behind it.

Is there anyway to release/re-tighten the rear seats?

The rear seat shouldn't press against the side too much. Most of the time they are....this is because the big plastic cover with the built in arm rest is loose. The press in clips that are on the back of the cover pop out of the metal holes in the car shell. This is one area nissan stuffed up, the holes are just a little bit too big. You can try pressing the cover back on, but it will likely only pop off again. I tried several different methods of making the hole in the metal smaller and/or making the plastic clip that goes in the hole bigger. The only thing that has worked so far is to use a drill and pop rivets on the edge of the hole thus making the hole smaller. This means that the plastic clip at the back of the cover fits in a lot tighter and won't pop off.

Personally I prefer a tight fit, but I am also keen to pop off......then again I am not a cover.

PS If any of you 'gun' metal workers out there know of a better method of fixing this, let us all know.

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
