R33 Gtst - Passenger Seat Problem

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.

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.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
