take the back seat out, and look under the seat. alot of the time they are too lazy to put the middle seat belt through the seat as its a pain in the ass. every r33 coupe i have seen have been 5 seaters.

My r33 is registered as a 4 seater. Depends on who complies the car whether they put in a middle seatbelt or not. Technically they are designed as a 4 seater because it would be hell uncomfortable to sit on that middle bump LOL (Coupe)

I was surprised when I pulled out my rear seat and found a 5th seatbelt neatly tucked under there.

My other mate pulled out his GT-T rear seat and had the same :P score!

Not that I'd ever use it or want it to be used.. I want to have some kind of view out of my rear vision mirror!

Thanks All ;)

worked it all out

its complied as a 4 seater

but i rang around and got a quote to get another one installed

so i need a engineers cert and ill be sweet !!

just wanted the 5th seatbelt incase i ever need it :dry:

is quite a squeeze in the back let alone having to duck ur head if your anything over 5'7'' haha

The center rear belt in my R33 S2 is an optional upgrade, which i has and is stamped 5 seater

my mates doesn't and is stamped 4 (He'll be looking under that seat soon)

I think it comes down to when the importer looks in the back and sees a belt or not

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
