take the back seat out, and look under the seat. alot of the time they are too lazy to put the middle seat belt through the seat as its a pain in the ass. every r33 coupe i have seen have been 5 seaters.

My r33 is registered as a 4 seater. Depends on who complies the car whether they put in a middle seatbelt or not. Technically they are designed as a 4 seater because it would be hell uncomfortable to sit on that middle bump LOL (Coupe)

I was surprised when I pulled out my rear seat and found a 5th seatbelt neatly tucked under there.

My other mate pulled out his GT-T rear seat and had the same :P score!

Not that I'd ever use it or want it to be used.. I want to have some kind of view out of my rear vision mirror!

Thanks All ;)

worked it all out

its complied as a 4 seater

but i rang around and got a quote to get another one installed

so i need a engineers cert and ill be sweet !!

just wanted the 5th seatbelt incase i ever need it :dry:

is quite a squeeze in the back let alone having to duck ur head if your anything over 5'7'' haha

The center rear belt in my R33 S2 is an optional upgrade, which i has and is stamped 5 seater

my mates doesn't and is stamped 4 (He'll be looking under that seat soon)

I think it comes down to when the importer looks in the back and sees a belt or not

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
