Hi,

Looking at buying a GTR R32, 33 can you put a third seat belt in the back and have it engineered as I have three kids. My wife's cousin has a nice GTS-TT worked to the max and it has three belts in the back?

Thanks in advance !

I believe a GTR has the same floor plan as a gtst, so by rights the belt mounts will be the same, the only issue would be getting the correct seat (R32 GTST).

I could fit 3 kids in the back of my 33GTST up until the eldest was about 11, when the kids didnt fit anymore I ripped out the seat and put in a half cage, LOL.

Word off warnining though, unless its engineered they may not be covered by insurace.

GTS-TT :blink:

If you want 3 people in the back yeh, dont look at 2 doors

I said GTS-TT as I said it is heavily modded and runs twin turbos (TT) With RB30 bottom end....Thanks all for the input, Would love a 4 door GTR R33 seen a few at jap auction nice!

Buy a normal car, and have the gts/gtr in the garage to play with, when the time is right.

There not really a car to throw your kids In and go on a holiday anyway!

I have owned an R32 GTS-T and it did have a middle seatbelt installed however the rear seat in an R32 GTS-T is completely different from the R32 GTR. The rear seat in the GTR has two seats which are sunk down a bit to provide a bit of a bucket like shape and then the middle is raised up. It is not really a seat so I can't see that you could ever get a seatbelt back there. I believe the set up of the gear box and drive train in the GTR means that the hump for the driveshaft is larger than a GTS-T.

However as others have said a car like this is really not suitable for 5 people even if many are kids. 2 adults and 2 kids fine, or 3 adults isn't too bad but if you are planning to have a lot of people in the car often then an EVO or something like that would be more suitable.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
