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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
