my r33 has only have 4 seatbelts and therefore was compiled as a 4 seater although i was wondering how much effort it would be to throw a lapbelt in the back and make it a 5 seater legally/

had a search on vicroads website and it says if its a factory option then it doesnt have to be engineered.

even called vicroads for clarification but the dude was a kent and just said look online.

someone must of done this before any info would be appreciated

Skylines were all 4 seaters from factory.

are you sure? i thought some came as 5 seaters, i know theres a thread with people being suprised to find a seatbelt tucked under the seat after being compiled as a 4 seater. mine just has two bolt holes which came from factory so im thinking it couldve been an option

If it's a coupe, to my knowledge they're all 4 seaters.

well i know theres a few threads of people saying they found middle lap belts hidden under the seat and mine defiently has factory mounting points so im leaning towards thinking there mightve been an option.

My R33 GTS-t is a 5 seater with 5 seatbelts (and two 4 point harnesses, rendering the rear seats extremely uncomfortable :laugh:). I have pulled the seat out enough times to know that it isn't hard to forget to pull the middle belt up on reinstallation.

GT-Rs are all 4 seaters I believe

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time.

      This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins.

      Was the car running before he touched the car?
