Hey, i had this problem with my 32, coz i got a half cage and no back seats. Cops yellow licky'd me and told me told i needed to register it as a 2 seater. So i took it to Pits in Kelmscott, told me i COULDNT do it. Confused i called the Technical Section in Welshpool, told me it was all sweet, told me to check the National Code of practice (linked)

Check the pdf file labled, LK Section to do with Seating and occupancy. basically, if you plan on PERMANENTLY removing back seats, you need to seal up any holes left by the removal of back seats, boot still needs to be seperate for cabin (ie parcel tray and metal plate need to stay in place) and then fill out a form saying you wish to register it as a 2 seater. Might need a engineer or Mech to sign sayin, yes it meets the requirements on the check list. Just read the PDF file, pretty self explanatory. All the best with that.

I ripped mine out (s15) for collie, then when I went to put them back in, I couldn't get the seatbelts to come out... Seats were in tho. Got stickered one night for bald tyres and had to go over. Rather than f**k around with the seatbelts, I figured I'd go the 2 seat option so that if I needed to pull the seats out again, I could, legally.

ALL bolts/brackets/anything else sharp/not a part of the body needs to be removed and you need something to block the boot from the cabin (I used MDF drilled into the body). I think that's to do with fumes/possibility of explosion, but I'm not sure.

My car is still rego'd for 4 seats, but have the permit for no rear seats. So in the event I want to take the whole family out, I can throw it all back together (with seatbelts) and still have 4 people in the car legally. In the event I want to go to collie and load up 10 tyres, I can rip it all apart and do that legally.

Only thing is, I think you'll find if you have the back seat in, you will need to have the seatbelts in. So even if you have the permit and get pulled over, not having seatbelts for seats is a yellow, where as if the whole lot wasn't there you'd be fine.

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
