They are illegal especially in 2 door cars with a back seat like skylines.

This is becuase in case of an accident the back occupants will have trouble getting out.... unless u wanna take out the back seats then its fine...

Whether police officers well really notice it or not is a different question... But it could prevent claims or whatever with insurance...

They are only legal in two seater cars. if you realy want one then you either need to re-register your car as a two seater and remove back seats/seatbelts or have a spare reclinable seat handy if you get a yellow and need to go over the pits. I had to go over the pits with my gtr which has a fixed back seat for the driver and thats the only thing they picked on (understandable)

Still have the yellow on now....

well if i had one and got a yellow i could just stick my original back in ay.. hrmm

so can i register my car as a two seater but still leave the two seats and the belts in the back?

hahaha na i dont think you can dude...

why not just by a reclinable one... like the bride offers...

No, defenitley not ok if one reclines, both need to recline. No can not leave back seats or rear seatbelts in place if re-registering the car as a 2 seater.

If you want both fixed back then the only legal way to do it is take out the rear seats and seat belts and re-register it as a 2 seater (you will need to take it to the pits for them to see that you have removed everything)

If you just want the drivers as a fixed back like mine then dont worry abut it and just swap seats over if you get in trouble....

Have been dealing with this issue for a while now as my gtr has a fixed back drivers seat and i dont want to get rid of it as it holds realy well and weighs nothing

i would suggest before you buy one, you test sit in it, if you can.

depending on how you are built, will be a major factor in how comfortable the seat is. I can tell you getting in and out of the car will be alot more uncomfortable.

also for longer driving im told they are uncomfortable also.

Bride offer a very high end reclinable seat which is around $2000 -$2500 its meant to be the best of both worlds in terms of fix back and reclinable.

here some info on it: ( GIAS SPORT, STRADIA SPORT )

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
