iv taken all out from rear seats backwards and all the trim but the dash (centre console, gear stick surround gone) iv organised for my doors to have a alluminium plate cut so i can only have the door release latch on it and then the mirrors and window switchs mounted on a custom board where the stereo was

i also wanted to get wider fenders in the rear and fit a better looking kit (have uras one that i want to change) and some bride seats fitted

any ideas if all this is p plate legal?

I've been doing research on the same topic and interior wise it's all legal. All you need is dash, door trim, no sharp edges and no holes in the cabin. Rear seats can be taken out and left without a mod plate as long as the seat belts are still there but it's alot easier if you just get it mod plated to a 2 seater.

"For vehicles fitted with bolt in seating structures, no approval by

an Approved Person is necessary for the temporary removal of

seats, provided the category of the vehicle does not change as a

result of the seating reduction."

Just try and keep it as safe and simple as possible. If it looks like a shit box then you'll get all kinds of the wrong attention. Also, have a look through the transport website...

    • The more I think about it, the more I should probably go with a genuine Bride seat and rail set up. But damn the $$$ for a driver and passenger seat + rails!
    • From what I understand, stock internals should hold out for a while even if you run 500 at the crank, no? Especially if you don't run a modern turbo setup that reaches power and torque much earlier than the original twins. My engine isn't unopened either, it has N1 Pumps, head oil restrictor, new crank and cams, new piston rings, ARP head studs and Cometic headgasket along with 2860-5s. Considering everything is healthy this should run fine for a while I assume. Once my engine stops leaking shit everywhere, it'll be tuned to 370 crank first anyway, because I need to legalize the turbo setup. If I end up needing a new engine because my block actually has an issue, even though GTSboy was adamant that the whole porous block story is nonsense, before putting an engine in I'm probably gonna take care of the weakspots.
    • Hah, I have no issues with what you are doing whatsoever! You clearly know what you are getting yourself into. It's just funny reading things like this. "What's that noise?" "Oh, that's normal. That's just the engine not getting any oil. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away in a moment"  
    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas.
