Ok guys, I couldn't search to see if this has been covered before or not since I was on my iPhone, but this blew my mind......

The rear seats on my c34 stagea are adjustable!!!!!!

Adjustable rear seats = mind blown.

Does anyone on here want to drive my car so I can sit in the rear seats?! :P

This just blew my mind!

That is all, now go on about your day as if nothing has happened....

It's so amazing! It's standard on the c34 as well, but I didn't find out till today. After owning the car for 2 years! I sat in the back and I felt like a butt raped squirrell sitting that straight. So I pulled the lever while sitting and it went back! Boy was I amazed!

well since i got my tire changed yesterday and the dicks there threaded my bolts, my rim decided to say goodbye to my car and rolled away while driving....... so now i dont have rims on the rear. but i get to sit down in my awesome rear seats!

so its all good.

Hang on; you lost a wheel?

Any damage? I'm assuming they're paying to repair?

lost a wheel, but since i was running spacers, which they clearly saw. (as the r34 gtt rims wont clear my suspension due to such a shitty offset)

they threaded the nuts, and 3 of my bolts. so when i was driving the rest kind of undid themselves during my 3 hr drive, and when i hit 70kmh, i heard a rattle then my center cap with all 5 bolts flew out, and my rim incl tire followed........

luckily since i sacked my car and the rim was in the arches, it never fully dislodged, and just hung on by about 1-2mm on the bolts, giving me just enough time to pull over.

i then called them they came down and told me they didnt want to cover me because i had spacers on...... so the guy saw my shredded tire and told me he will be a good fellow and give me a new tyre the next day........ for the low fee of $50... i bought the tire brand new for $85!!!

so i will go there on monday and really turn his neck 180 degrees!

So note to self, never ever go to St George Tires.

Tyre shops and Rattle guns... They never mix.

I specify upfront; that if they use one to tighten the nuts, I will refuse to pay. I make them list it on their work order. I also make them list that there is no damage to the rims; particularly around the wheel nuts. I didn't pay $600 for 2pak paint; only to have some donkey destroy them.

Sounds like you were pretty lucky then; could've been much worse.confused.gif

I thought they were adjuatable. Drove mine to adel from melb on wednesday night after pocking ot up amd remember they looked noce and layed back. Got home and showed the missus around it and pulled the seat down lever. When I pulled the seats back up they looked really straight. Looked everywhere for a button or lever then just resigned it to a lack of sleep. After reading this post, I had another look.. AHHH! There's the lever! Nice amd reclined! Man the japs are on to a lot of things awesome! Love my new stag

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
