No Rear Seats Defectable?

Well I finally got sick of taking people in my car who don't care about it. I thought saying 'Sorry I got no rear seats' would be an easier option then trying to decline them due to not much leg room.

So I took them out. 2 clips and 4 bolts.

My question is, is this defectable for whatever reason? If I get pulled over and they see I have no rear seats or parcel shelf (in my 180SX) will they defect me for it? I can just as easily put them back in (less then 5 mins) but just wondering.

Thanks for any help!

PS: To make it less obvious I was planning on laying some carpet down so you can't see all the metal.

might need to register it as a two seater if ist going to be perminant...

but i know a mate of mine did this in his camira back in the day for the exact same reason.. he got around like that for about 18 months.

could always tell the cops u took em out to steam clean em or to vac underneath em if you do get grief about it

If you're gonna cover it, you should be fine.

I believe as long as you take out the rear seat belts also it will be ok,of course do the ring around to regency see what they say,until then just use the old "just cleaning seats etc",as far as registering it as two seater,if its a two door it cant go down any lower,but dont quote me on it.if possible though it will be a regency job.

tellem ya kid puked on them and ya waiting for them to air out cause the stench was rotton

Too bad I'm only 17 :)

So I have to remove the seat belts also? Hrm ok thanks guys.

Just say I do get defected for it, would I have to go to regency or my local cop shop? It literally takes <5 minutes to do the whole job, its so simple so would they just let me off at the cop shop?

just dont take anyone in your car, you shouldnt be making excuses for people just because they want a free ride. keep the seats in and if they ask for a ride just tell them to catch a cab and you aint no taxi driver, thats it.

I'm thinking regency, just cos of the seatbelts..... but I'm hardly an authority on the matter...

call regency n ask, better than any of the 1/2 assed answers I (or anyone else on here) can give :)

It is regency, either getting defected for it or doing it the proper way. If you want to re-register the car as a 2 seater (by taking out the rear seats) you have to take the car through regency rather than going through your local dmv (or what ever you wish to call it). The best time to do it would be when you need to clear a defect and kill two birds with one stone.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
