there will be tension on the seats.. they are 'stretched' over the hooks if that makes sense

my best advice is to bash the shit out of the bottom of the backrest part with your palm and yank upwards... don't be shy or they won't come off!

Haha I remember the first time I tried removing back seat. Took me forever, it was the opposite of what I was trying, I think you had to slide back or something.

i pulled the seats out from the back....kinda....then tried to push it towards the back and yanking it up...still didnt work...did the other way....pulling it while yanking it up....still didnt move at all... :blink:

dont forget the extra 'engine out' import costs to get it over here :(

party pooper :blink:

bottom part has 2 bolts 1 on each side. undo em and slide/pull it out.

back part also has 2 smaller bolts 1 on each side. undo em then lift it all up and pull it out. its hooked in

ahh memories. kinda miss my old POS r33

Edited by R-SPEC

two screws down the bottom, then slip a large screwdriver next to the tabs and LIFT. it should pop out. then pull the bottom part of the seat out of the car. the backrest is two screws agin in the bottom two corners (near the bottom of the seatbelt). undo then push seat UP and pull towards you. up, then pull. it should get easier with time. i can get my seats out of the car in under 5 min now. took me forever when i first tried it too

funny thing is its not really my first time...when i did it first in y gtst 4 yrs back...it seemed to be alot easier than this...for some reason...anyhow i am off to give it another shot...:blink:...hope for the best...thanks for all your help guys..

OMFG!!!!!!!!!! done with ease....used basti's idea of using a screw driver for lever...done in less than 30 sec....GEEZZ!!!! but for one of the hooks, the white bracket came off too....is that of a concern?

8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 17mm, 19mm spanners and i could have the entire car in bits

and that too

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
