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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
