Removing rear R32 seat

[Nismo_Boy]

Does any one know the trick to taking out the rear seat in a four door R32? I’ve tried, and can’t get the “locking” pins out of their holes. Obviously they came out for ADR belts to go in, but it’s got me lost how.

Push the base of the seat towards the REAR of the car on each side (one at a time) as you push back also lift UP. That will pull the prongs out of their holes.

To remove the backrest you will see a prong on each side (after the base has been removed) that has a bolt holding it in......simply remove the bolt and LIFT the backrest towards the roof....it will slide over 2 hooks and release.......to put them back in just reverse the process

Thanks riverside, but unfortunately I haven't been able to get the bugger out I've finaly had time to play with it in the day light, and no luck. Is there some trick in pushing back, eg; how far should I push it back, then lift up?

If you are talking about the seat base ie the arse part, it just requires a sharp lift (per side) to pop the 2 clips that are located on the front edge - no unbolting. If your clips are pretty good like mine were when I last took the seat out you might smack your head (like I did) when they finally give.

If you're talking about the back section hooked to the rear firewall, first unbolt it on the bottom edge (uncovered by removing the seat base mentioned above) then slide it up the firewall to unhook it. Note: If your steel ski-port cover has been removed then the top part of the seat is only held up by 2 hooks rather that 4 or 5

Hope you have better luck with it!

The base can be a bit of a bugger to get unstuck as they tend not be be removed all to often.

I have on occasion needed to use a LARGE flathead screwdriver (with rag on sharp end) to pry the seat BACK and UPWARDS.

Good luck

Thanks for your help! - After much effort and numerous tools I got the seat out. Kinda lifted the rear part, while "cutting sick" on the front clip. Worked a treat
