I don't think he wants to cut the top half, and the hatches angle is what kills the fit, alsSo since the G is a couple of inches longer

If you do cut it , I would cut the bottom and make it like half the size

Jackson0927

if its not hitting now I think ur gunna be ok. the seat lies completely flat against the back of the strut bar, flush against the metal around hole.(its close so i will get a pic here when i step out for lunch)

try holding a yard stick or something flat again the strut

Jackson0927

no! i didnt remove that tunel. it still welded to the strut bar. but i bet that sub rattles the hell out of the seat that close but im puttin mine right behind the seat too.

ya now i gotta do my interior side panels with speakers(thinkin 2 5.25 on each side) and im gunna fill the trunk with a pair of subs and my 2 amps

im gunna have to cut the back down or just bolt it in with the offset gap at the bottom.

Jackson0927

ya I thought about cutting the bottom, but one has to give a lil.

all the g's extra length is in the leg room. notice how our console runs into the rear seat. on a g35 the center tunel it drops the the car floor and then comes back up. and yes it is taller. look and the little rear window.

oh and this will NEVER fit a human, im 6 ft and I tried to sit back there but my shoulders up were outside the hatch.

DANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jackson0927

i really dont want to cut it up. maybe if I bought i "more" used seat,
this one is way too pretty and clean to go hackin it up. figure something out.

close up example. maybe i can live with the gap at the bottom

that gap isn't that bad. If the padding was worn, you could never even tell

Jackson0927

my original idea was to not use the back and just fab a lil 8inch tall piece wrapped in foam and leather to cover the remaining section and still leave access to the back hole. but I like the way it looks so I might use it

looks awesome, i would fab the back part and have it wrapped. have you looked into possibly using the upper part of the backseat from a mkiv supra? it should be relatively close to the same size that you need to fit in the back and will also have the ability to fold the top half of the back seat down, just an idea for you to check out

CRIDDA

I like the way it looks with the back section as well. Now just to figure out how to get it to fit and be able to close the hatch. If the padding was removed or cut from the bottom half, you could rewrap the leather on the bottom and that should give you the 2inches needed for the hatch to close

I luv it after a long day at work,,, good massage... lol
But if the gap bothers u enough, then just mock up an example so u can see


But if u find a good upolster , he can work some magic and make it look oem.. Lol

looks great man, in for final results. Good work!

Jackson0927

this seat should fold down. that is the way they are designed to be bolted in the g35. see red release button on top, also still has all the release cables in the seat) But I didn't want those brackets (for some reason) didn't look they were gunna fit by any means guess I should have asked for them.

not buying another seat, gunna make it work some how. and if i give up then I'm building myself a mini-back, to go with the bottom half

still got a ton of work ahead of me, big decisions too.
But I am very glad this is going so smoothly, really pumped to get started on the stereo half of this installation

thanks for the support! I debated on never telling any1 on here I going to do this

I'm glad u told us, I'm going to talk to my shop to see how much I can get this done for,

Let me know if you have any questions on audio, glad to help out, or I can atleast guide u in the right direction

Thanks for tacking the leap into the dark, I'm sure many of us will now follow,
Now I'm debating wether to do the seats or gut for sound ur outcome confused the shii out of me! Lol

Once again GOOD job bro

damn this looks good. I can't believe how much space is back there. Since there's no way you're ever gonna fit a person back there,has anyone just ripped all that stuff out and expanded their trunk space?

SQBassHead

iTrader: (37)

No but that's what I'm debating right now, put the seats in or gut it for extra space and throw another sub back there,

Now that i think about it I might throw another sub back there an wall it off... damn imagine 1st z with a wall lol oh man that sounds sweet!

good progress on your build really.

Seems like there could be some cutting and re-stitching of those seats so everything would fit.

Cool! Keep it up!
