Well, i have sat in the passenger seat of my car heaps with mates driving, but the other day i did a first, and sat in the back seats.

Its is quite pimpalicious sitting in the back. I have to admit, i really love the lines of the rear door and the way you feel when in the rear seats.

There is enough leg room and all, and the windows just make you feel so VIP being so dark, specially with the arm rest down.

I know this car isnt anything in luxury compared to my old celsior (which i loved it backs seat too) but damn, it feels good.

Anyone else sat in the back seats?

PS. Must really compliment the engineers for the leaning rear seats and the roof arm holder things, they mesh really well together :D;)

I rode in the back of mine when I first looked at it to buy, as I had my old man with me and the (then) owner in the car too. The owner took us to a nice quiet area before he let us drive, and I sat in the back behind my dad.

I gotta say, I quite liked it. Very comfortable to travel in, and enough room for me (I'm 5'10" tall, which I guess is about average for a male) to stretch out.

And yeah, those rear windows are pimpin'! :D

I've only sat in the back while rigging up stereo bits in the doors or cleaning out all the junk i throw back there. there is plenty of room, but i have my seat a fair way back (6'2") most of the time. only when i need to have passengers do i move it forward. the electric seat takes forever to move and is a pain to get back just how i like it.

Do the electric seats have memories?

Terminal - But when they fold down, the carpets rough. Dont forget to bring a blanket.

Sleeping the back of the car isnt that bad actually. Only issue ive got with it is that it gets REALLLLLLLLLLY cold during the night. Need to wake up, turn the car on for 10 minutes, mega heat it up an repeat in 2 hours.

My electric seats don't, the series 2 might, i don't know.

I have a boot protector in mine, big plastic thing that stops the carpet getting damaged, but yes, a blanket (swag) is required

it's great with the rear sunroof uncovered or open, you can see the stars for a bit, until it fogs up

Cant fit in the back seats without the seat reclining to the rear heaps and front seats forward as far as possible.

Cant lay down in wagon space as my ankles overhang the edge!!

Thats what happens when you fill up a doorway!

my S2 doesn't have seat memory. they're electric adjust,and manual for angle in the rear.

while we're talking interior stuff,is it just me,or does anyone else think the remote back seat release levers at the back of the hatch are pretty cool?

Justin...

If they did, they are probably thinking, OOh heck no, here comes that fat.....

Seriously folks, if my kids could talk they would agree, being in the back seat is sic...fully sic. They look pretty chuffed though, sitting up in their maxiriders. And with those tints, just think of the money I've saved on Baby Bans.

I have almost got the 2y.o. to say "HOON"

For me the most depressing thing about those silver handles in the boot is that I cant use them...damn maxiriders. But that electric boot closer....ooh baby, silky smooth. If I ever slam it by mistake I have to open it again and let it self close, just to watch it.

P.S. Not being greedy, but no one else drives it unless their carrying a 22K bank cheque. I havent quite swallowed on the insurance premium yet.

Everyone I've shown that to agrees that it is an awesome feature!

There are so many little features in our cars that are so ahead of their time/intended market that it's a spin-out. It's all the little things that we've only just started seeing appearing on new cars, or only if you were prepared to pay prestige-car (and usually European car) money.

Oh yeah, I've let a few trusted souls drive my car since I bought it in October, and I find not only that I enjoy being a passenger, but also seeing the reaction on the faces of those who I've let drive it.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
