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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
