weird question that hopefully someone can help me with. I sat in my passenger seat for the 1st time in ages recently and it reminded me that my girlfriend has always complained that the passenger seat doesn't incline far enough. At its most verticle postion (any further and it tips forward so that people from the rear passenger seat can get in and out) its about 1-2 inches to far back, when compared to the position of the driver seat, which is fine if you want to sit back and relax but its un-comfortable for any long-ish journey as you have to pull your neck forward to look around . I've pulled the seat out and all looks fine with nothing bent but there doesn't appear to be any adjustment. I've been meaning to jump in another skyline to see if its just mine or if they are all like that but always forget.

Anyone know a solution? If its just mine then I'll buy another front seat.

Car is a R33 GTST S2.

man i have the exact same problem everyone always complains when they get in my car..i am yet to find a soloution, partly because i dont have to sit in it lol sounds selfish but its not on the top of my to do list, keep posted with what you reckon?....i found mine started when my mate who is a friggen big guy sat in it and afta that doesnt come up high enough

If you're in the Dandenong/Springvale area send me a PM and you can have a look at mine... ...I wouldn't think there would be a difference between Series 1 and 2 when it comes to the seats... ...My GF has never complained about the seat being uncomfortable... ...I've also had a lot of other people sit in that seat for work and never had a problem unless they are disabled... ...then it is really them getting in and out that's the problem...

Hmm by that reconning it would seem that the seat is somehow bent, but looking at the seat and the mechanics of the recliner I'm not 100% sure how thats possible but I'd be very happy if it is because that means it just a simple seat replace.

Occasionally I'm that area as my mum lives in Pakenham so when I'm next headed that way I'll let you know.

it wouldnt be something as simple as someone messing around with the adjustor knob is it? a mate messed around with mine and the next day passengers seat would sit really low back even though it was at its most up right. a simple readjustment of the knob fixed it.

So it begs me to ask "what knob?" there doesn't appear to be any adjustment of the passenger seat other then the pull up lever on the left hand side that also doubles as the lever to bring the seat completely forward for entry to the back seat.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
