Hey bud, Undo the two bolts near the floor, then with a bit of force pull them up off, you need to put in a bit of effort as they are clipped into the body of the car, then undo the bolts that hold the backrest of the seat up, and they usually just lift off.

Then = access to your suspension.

Like OBNXSH said... just remember that they are stuck in their preety freakin tight and need a damn good tug to get out. And need to be pushed just as hard to be put back in. Just make sure you get them lined up properly before hand and then drop a good old knee down and they should pop straight in.

Im pretty sure you will need to take the back parcel shelf out as well..

In order to do that, im sure the side plastic bits need to come off.. plus seat belts..

Im gonna be replacing my rear shocks tomorrow, so i will be doing the same..

I might take some pics if you need them..

You can get the rear shelf out without taking the side plastic bits off. You can kinda flex the shelf at the sides to get it out. There is like this little tab at the bottom of the plastic side bits that slot into the rear shelf. With the seat out you might be able to get ya hand in the sides and feel them. I just lifted the shelf a bit and kinda bowed the shelf to allow you to get it outta these slots. Also the shelf seemed to have a few press in clips but this popped out very easy.

good luck

When I put my suspension - didnt need to take parcel shelf out, mine was flexible so was all good, just had to hold it up a bit although if you do have "big hands" it'll be a tight fit :huh:

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
