hey guys.

i'm putting rear speaker in, and i'm 'trying' to make a custom rear parcel shelf.

just wondering how the rear parcel shelf is removed (the board with carpet on it where your're speakers go). I had a quick go at it but it looked like it was going to break and i'm not one to force things if i don't know exactly how it works. do you have to removed the back seats? If so, whats the best way to removed the back seat?

any help will be appreciated.

Yes remove the back seats. The bottom part of the seat has a couple of bolts that need to be taken out then grab each end of the seat about 300mm from each end and give it a swift hard yank, this will unlock the two clips under there. There are two more bolts for the back part of the seat, take these out then remove seat. The rear shelf, from memory, then just lifts out. You need to press the two ends though as the plastic quarter interior trims are keyed into the parcel shelf. Just watch those, it took me ages to work it out.

to remove the rear seat, at the bottom of the seat, there shd be, wait let me rephrase. There WILL be 2 bolts on the bottom of the bench rear seat. Remove these.

Then at the end of the seat try to seperate the bench from the backrest. there she be a metal bar htere...just stick yr hand in and pull out that side first. and then once the back of the seat is out frm behind the backrest, just YANK will all yr might and the seat shall come out. there is a clasp. thats why.

then the back rest...on the left and right side, there shd be screw each with a metal bar there holding the backrest of the seat. unscrew it. and then push the backrest upwards to unhook it. and it shall come off. force it if u might. nothing will break

all are metal.

:)

and then the rear shelf. there shd be some bolts holding the compliance installed baby seat anchor points.. remove those as in some cars ive seen, those are also holding the parcel shelf altho thats not the case in mine.

from there, just pull the parcel shelf upwards and towards you as there are clips. similar to those holding your door panel in place.

watch out for e side pillars tho.

:P

hope this is of some help!

    • Thought I'd give an update. There needs to be scarce details in some areas due to ongoing discussions. Here's the journey of trying to make the booked registration appointment (again). Sent a complaint to Car Inspect outlining the concerns and made some demands. Went to a service center in Geelong, got assaulted with bullshit items on the RWC, as you know. Tried to quote $2.5k AND wanted a structural report Only seemed to be one place around Geelong that does them, they demand $495 just to end up telling me it's f**ked, at least $11k to fix and tried to sell me his own Skyline in the process (bro, wtf?) Started stressing about what I'm supposed to do with this possible pile of steel. Awaiting that, I was sent an angel friend who works in Melbourne and knows real mechanics and body shops.  They laughed at the reported quotes (don't get work done in Geelong) Car underwent some front surgery and brought back better They then sent it to the mechanics for RWC Registration appointment is two days away at this point. Mechanics pointed out two issues: driver's seat and shocks - that's it. He offered couple options and I chose coilovers. Frantically I scoured the jungle realm that is Facebook Marketplace (again). Found what looks to be a decent Series 1 seat actually - $100 Guy is friendly, offers to bring the seat with a colleague who's heading to Geelong (thanks man, that was cool) Seat arrived, looks good. Throw it in my car and drive to Melbourne and drop it to mechanic T-1 day, mechanic reckons job will be done for the fronts only, gets it done by 4PM Mechanic heads to get the coil-overs that night as a favour to help me make the appointment Get driven to Melbourne, drove the car back - RWC Unlocked! ✅ VicRoads tomorrow, the goal is close now. 🙂
    • Gtr are still available through the heritage program but don’t have the wiring 
    • I remember test driving this car at Odaiba. All the controls are very light so it's good for commuting. I don't think a 1.2L turbo would make sense in the US though, you would be constantly deep in the boost in highway cruising. 
    • As the Bogan Cruise Ship has nothing wrong with it, and is perfect the way it is, I have decided to fix that issue, nothing major, just a little tidy up and upgrade some parts that don't really need to be upgraded  1. Upgrade the interchiller, basically another fancy pants modern and efficient condenser, a larger reservoir (current one only holds about 500ml) and a better pump (the current pump has a little rattle, so......while I'm in there.....) 2. Move the battery to the boot so I can use that real-estate to fit in a nice big reservoir where the battery currently is As for a new car, I'm holding off buying one for a few reasons: 1. Not enough garage space for another nice car, yes....I consider the Bogan Cruise Ship a nice car that needs a roof over its head, which leads to point 2 2. I'm buying a joint down the south coast next year, hopefully I can find a joint with a nice big double garage that I can get a car lift in, or, it has a massive shed for lots of cars, and a lift (I really really want a car lift) 3. I cannot decide what I want, a new freshness with all the mod cons, or a fairly old thing that I can play with when I'm bored (old as in steel bumper) In other news, there's a light at the end of the tunnel, and it isn't a train coming to run me over  Not that I'm counting
