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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
