OK so my seatbelt is shagged and im trying to take it out but i need to remove the back seats. Problem is they are bolted down the sides (actually only one side is bolted) and i cant get to the bolt. The seats have little metal apendages up the top that they hook into. DOwn the sides the bolt is positioned so that the bottom seat cushion is in the way and its impossible to take it out. I've tried every tool i can think of, i have achieved about an 8th of a turn, and its not jammed or anything its just freaking hard to get to. In a few minutes im just going to crack it and snap the bolt off. Any one know how to remove the fugn thing?

Car is a r32 gts-turbo

cheers

Yay, got it, solution = 50cm long phillips head screwdriver, alot of levering down with a crow bar, to get the driver in and alot of 2 handed twisting. Swear to god if i ever find the dick that came up with this design, zzz

Seat belt thingy was rooted, some plastic gear had snapped in about 30 places, and i cant figure out how to get the buckle off the belt so ima just cut it

Not sure what you're carrying on about. You need to remove the squab (the bit you sit on) first - that then exposes the bolts securing the back in place.

Now, the squab can be a bit of a bugger to get out, and I've generally had success simply peeling the squab back a bit and getting the bolts with a socket on an extension rod.

yeah you pop off the horizontal part first, what you sit on, i used a crowbar and you will hear a loud noise. Took me ages to pop it off as i thought id break something. Then there will be 2 screws located holding the vertical part, and finally the hooks at the top :woot:

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
