As per above, I'd just like to get a quick idea on who's done the rear seat removal. I'm getting my rear seat re-trimmed to match my fronts, so I need to remove the bench and backrests to leave with the trimmer.

Is there anything in particular I need to worry about? Are the cables (or whatever) in the luggage area easy to remove and re-install later?

With the door trims, who's replaced the material in the centre of the door cards (I know BITSUS Nigel has done it, anyone else)? I'll eventually have these re-done as well, so I might as well have as much information as possible ready to go for when I need it. I've had the door cards off before when I replaced my speakers, but never actually looked at how the panel holding the fabric is attached...

Thanks in advance!

You can remove the wire for the seat fold down from the side of the seats, there is a little clip on the side, pretty easy.

No idea about the door trims sorry.

Door trims are peice of cake... from memory all you need to do is remove the cover from around the door handle then theres a couple of screws... then the window switch just clips out from the door trim and then you just gently pull around the edges to release the clips, lift it up out of the window and its off!

(edit) sorry just realised you only meant the door cards...

Just checked a door trim I had sitting around, the entire trim is one molded piece it seems. Fabric is glued on and pushed into a 1/2 inch groove around the edges at the extremity of the fabric trim.

harts.

just make sure you have a pair of needle-nose pliers handy when you put the rear seat back in: the reclining mechanismhas a little hook on a spring that rectracts a fair way, and can be a little tricky to get out. Otherwise, it's about 5 bolts from memory: mine came out easy, but the guy who bought my interior needed a heap of leverage to grck the top centre bolt...

Overall, it's a pretty easy process: 5 mins to remove, and probably around 10 mins to put it back in.

Cool, thanks for all the replies, gents!

Seat should be getting removed on Sunday arvo, if all goes to plan. I'll be taking some before and after shots too.

My C34 was pretty quick with 320awkw - yours should really shift with 388 and should be fun on the track with over 400!

Original factory 260 turbos?

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
