How The Hell Do You Remove The Rear Seats In An 32

R33 seats have two bolts on the sidewall of the footwell. 12 or 14mm bolts. Then you should be able to slip them out a bit, and you'll see two more bolts for the rear part of the seat, same sort of sizes. (located between the bottom seat and back-rest of the seat, behind where the seatbelts run across)

The rear part of the seat should then lift upwards to get it of the hangars, and there is one hangar that holds onto the bottom part.

If 32's are anything like that, go for it.

My 32 seats were a bitch to get off and put back in. You have to pull the bottom part off first, there should be 2 clips that will just come out with some force. Then there should be 2 bolts holding the lower part of the back part on. Undo them and then just lift the back part up.

Sounds easy but for some reason my clips and other parts didnt line up exactly, really annoying.

That bent from an accident comment is plain stupid. lol, if that were the case the thing would be driving down the road with the rear wheel on one white line while the opposite diagional wheel on the other. lol. :D

I've tried and failed.. All though I could have given it a bit more of a heavy hand.

After putting a stereo in and out of my car 3 time (I did it for the previous over before i owned it) I have had to remove the back seat a few times.

The two clips at the front of the rear seat should need a bit of force, but nothing sensational. Although I did smack my head on the roof when I did it the first time... When putting them back in, because you slip the back of the bottom section under the backrest, the seat comes down on an angle, meaning you have to push the seat down and backwards to get them back in.

More annoying things tho... There is a hole in the floor unto the seat for the seat to clip into, which has a plastic... thing in it. My plastic bit was bent which made it even hard to get back in sometimes... Nothing that 10 minutes of frustration can't fix.

      Are you an oil nerd?

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
