As above - I've got 3 young kids. 2 are old enough to sit on the booster type seats. One is still in a full car seat setup with anchor point required.

Is it possible to fit them into the back of an R34 sedan? I can do it in my Mazda 3 right now, and the R34 is a good 30cm wider. The only issue is anchor point placement and the raised middle seat....

Hi Bud,

I've got an R34 Sedan, can't say I've ever tried to fit 3 kids in the back though. I've once had a full car of adults and the back is quite squishy for what appears to be a large/long car from the outside.

Depending on how tall the driver and passenger are I think you would be fine fitting in three kids in the back seats. The two back seats on the sides are kind-of bucket seats whereas the middle seat is uncomfortable as it is raised.

Your best bet may be to find an R34 sedan and just check out the back seats yourself to be sure it's what you need. PM me if I can be of any further help or if you got any questions I could answer

cheers,

Steve

TBH i doubt it.

We had the baby seat in ours and because there so wide putting one in the middle just wont work, they will be leaning to the side to fit.

There wide on the outside but tiny inside.

My old stagea was the exact some measurements outside as our new Passat, yet the Passat we can fit 3 adults comfortably across the back seat, not so much the Stagea.

i have a baby seat in the back of mine, fits in the middle fine,

i doubt you would fit 3 baby seats across the back however

but you might fit one baby seat and 2 boosters, we have another on the way and i only have a centre anchor point, gonna have to retro fit the others back in i guess!!

see how we go, the previous owner removed the 2 side ones to put awesome speakers in lolz

i reckon i can drill a hole in the back of the parcel shelf directly above the screw hole for the side ones and get an anchor point in!

It will be tight if possible at all, I've tried two and they fit, but putting a diaper bag in between the seats were tight. I'm looking for a second car just to seat my daughter comfortably in the back.

Hey mate, I'm afraid that'd be pretty tough. For the occasional weekend trip maybe, but I reckon for daily use you can pretty much forget it unfortunately. I also doubt you could physically fit two boosters plus a proper baby seat in at the same time, width wise.

I've got a rear facing baby seat in the back behind the passenger and the front seat is still usable, but only just. I have had 2 adults in the back at the same time but it's definitely a squeeze, and I wouldn't do any long distance travel that way... I'm also not too keen on putting the baby seat in the middle as it would be hard securing it tight enough to avoid sideways movement, due to the raised middle bit.

For normal driving with the missus and the bub the R34 sedan is great though! And the boot's easily big enough for a long weekend away with the family :)

Ps. Forgot to add that mine had 3 anchor points already in place on the parcel shelf, probably done originally for compliance.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
