Sorry, this must be really irritating. I recall seeing a recent thread on this but can't locate it. So here's the question again, how do you remove the damn thing? I need to get some signal lines and 0-guage wire to the amplifiers at the back. I've slipped my hands under the seat but the metal plate at the back seems inpenetratable.

Many many thanks in advance.

I slipped my hands under the seat and yanked with all my might. I am 100% sure that even if I pulled until the chassis twist, the damn seat will still not be coming out. Now I'm getting my hydraulic jack.... Can someone please explain how exactly is the lower seat held down to the chassis? I can feel that it's got two struts going down each side of the front edge but I can't see what actually is holding them in. Are these clips?

I assume once the lower seat is out, it should be easy to undo the two bolts holding the upright and it'll just slide up and out?

Many thanks

Michael

just grab and YANK and YANK and YANK! they're held in really well by these plastic clips. i actually managed to get one side off but the other side refused to budge! i ended up putting a piece of wood under the seat, put a long screwdriver thru the locking loop clip, rested the driver tip on the wood, and levered it out! didnt come out without blood sweat and tears, oh....severe cramping though.

    • A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.
    • Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.   
    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
