One area of the skyline that is hardly covered, at least in photography terms, is the back seat.
I've seen a few pictures, but there's not many available and its still not painting much of a
picture for me. There's been a bit of discussion about it, but not quite to the extent im looking for.
I don't have kids, nor am I looking to get kids anytime soon, and if I was id be getting a stagea im
sure. But.. I do have two dogs. Boarder Collies to be exact. One is an adult, and one is just a pup,
but he is growing quickly, and by the lankiness and the size of his feet, it seems as though he's gonna
be a big dog.
Naturally, I wouldn't let any animals in my car, my friends just have way to greasy hands. Don't think
I want to let my doggies in my car either, but at least they are cleaner than my friends. The girlfriend
says if I get a skyline, the doggies have to ride with us too. So im thinking, f**k, its not time for a stagea
yet, and the only sedan out of the skylines that is worth taking a look at is the R34 (those rides look tough!).
So I guess im back into the idea of getting an R33. Not touching a sedan though if I can help it. So it looks
like it'll be an R33 coupe for me. Hoping for something less common than the R33, which is why I liked the
R34, but I simply cannot afford that, as well as eating steak for dinner each night.
Basically, what I want to know is -- the back seat. Is it gonna be enough for two dogs? Putting one of the
front seats forward to let a doggy or two in isnt going to be a big deal, coz they'll just jump right in eagerly.
I wont be riding with the doggies all the time, maybe just on the weekends if we go for a cruise to a puppy
park or something, y'know. I have a 5 door corolla at the moment, and the doggies try to live in the front
as it is, simply because they want to be where the action is. Im thinking the R33 coupe *may* have a
backseat that is too small, and make them want to be in the front seat even more. I've seen a few R33s,
y'know, looking in the window and such, but ive never actually sat in one since I dont want to waste anyones
time if im not there to buy. Dont have any friends that own such a car either.
Can I get some opinions on the backseat? some photos maybe (these seem to be the rarest)? Obviously
in the coupe the back windows dont open (or do they?). Will there be enough ventilation for the puppies? I dont want them to feel trapped in the back there. Can I get some sort of harness that will keep them comfortable, but stop them from cruising into the front cabin, or do I just have to nail some boost to keep
them pushed in the back? harhar!
Ideally im looking for opinions from people who own these 'lines and some pets that come for cruises too, but anyone is welcome to comment and im open to opinions.
Lastly, the backseat in my opinion has gotta be one of the least exciting parts of a skyline, I guess this is
why not many photos of it exist. Anyone done anything noteworthy to their back seats other than take them out?
