Tips For A Baby Seat And Pram To Fit 350Gt

Yep I can't imagine for a second you will ever get a full size pram into the boot of a coupe.

And you won't get a rear facing capsule (which they need until they are 6 months or 9kg) in unless you have the passenger seat COMPLETELY forward (ie. basically unable to seat a passenger).

An actual baby seat (for 6mths+) fits easily and my 3 year old gets in and out easily on his own.

Any chance you could post a pic of this setup? A V35 coupe has been struck off our list, but if the rear child seat is actually ok for a 2+ year I'd love to put it back on the list of options.

Cheers

i literally went to Bubs shop as well as the Mothercare and checked to see if the safe and sound compaq fits.....rear facing is a bit of a pain for the passenger but front facing is a easy deal....pretty confident there wont be any issues....

First of all Congrats... we just had a Baby Boy 5 months ago. Best thing ever!... but get your sleep! haha

I took my back seat out of mine so I can't help you there. I know you've probably already considered this but just a warning, putting a baby seat at the back of a coupe is obviously not as safe in regards to an emergency. Also you have to consider the position of the air bag in the rear. I spotted a warning sticker somewhere there when I was first considering putting a baby seat at the back seat as well. It was in Japanese but from what I gather, if the airbag goes off, the impact of it hitting your newly born may be harsh. Don't want to scare ya but its good to know.

+1 for hiring a babyseat\capsule. Cheaper option for the 1st 6 months because you'll end up replacing it for a bigger one anyways.

+1 for importing the mother\dad\brother-in-law or anyone really for help!

Also regarding a lifted seat for your Mrs to make it easy for her getting in and out of the car, I bought a Tummy Sheild for her. It'll lift her up a tiny bit and protect her tummy and your baby. Check it out: http://www.tummyshield.com.au/default.php

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise

      Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
