i got defected for having no back seats in the car, i told them it was because i had 8 wheels in there the day before from a drift day

they said put the seats back in and the defect will go away....

pitty about the rest of the list.. :thumbsup:

^ Totally agree with the above.. Illegal unless registered as 2 seater..

Prevents fully sick drifters driving around with stripped out cars.

Huh? Fully sick drifters... isnt that an oxy-moron? :thumbsup:

removing rear seats gives me alot more room for tyres its not just about making it lighter :D

You're better off eating a lighter breakfast than removing the seat.. It only weighs a kilo or two anyway. Only way to fit a set of semi's or drift tyres is to remove it though :)

interesting read, but if u did register it as a 2 seater how much would it cost, or is it more cost effective to do it around rego time? whats the exact process and prices involved? if someone can list this it would be awesome

Basically all you need to do is remove the rear seats and the rear seat belts. Then go to a mechanic and get a blue slip to change from 4/5 seater to 2 seater (around $90) from memory. Then off to the rta to lodge it with them and thats it.

I dont think its that simple, im pretty sure you need to either weld up the holes from the seat belts or put bolts in them and then take it to an engineer, blue slip guys cant engineer things, they read what the car has been engineered for and then say yes the car is like that, so you'd need to carry out the work on the car, get an engineers cert for it, then take it with the engineers cert to get a blue slip place then that place would pass you on the inspection as a two seater car then you take it to the rta and re register it as a two seater

    • So, they admitted via message that they accidentally sent me a non Hella product. Then, hilariously, out of nowhere I get questioned about the legitimacy of my BMW intercooler for sale. This is the first *ever* enquiry in over 18 months. WIthin 8 mins of me telling "Total Engines" that I'd be reporting them for selling knock off's.
    • I don't know what it is supposed to look like, but I'd suggest confirming with Hella whether it is genuine. Some of the photos online do show parts with a Hella stamp on them. This looks sus.
    • Couldn't help but share the pics of my $350 "Hella" oil level sensor that arrived from totalengines via eBay today. It's like they're not even trying anymore ... And I think that's sad. 
    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
