would I do it if I bought another z33. No cause have a daily for the dog now. Was perfect for my solution at the time tho..............




I'm sure this this is not the complete end of this thread, but got nothing else for you guys. Appreciate all the support and compliments given me in this project.

Don't worry..far from gone from the z community

so I got the seat in looks pretty good. fitment is slightly less than I expected but it's not that far off by any means.

- 350z console runs into the wire rods in the rear seat (took box out for temp. fit. see pic) and the g35c console is no where near fitting, but i could tell that from pictures

- the back of the seat to about 4-5 inches too tall (saw that coming) the problem lies that unlike the bottom half the the seat which is only foam and plastic the back is composed of big steel bars, wood and a lot of wire rods. the back is very very heavy unlike the bottom half. In some of the pics I pulled the bottom of the seat out a lil to close the hatch. (dad came over to see and he thinks i shouldn't cut the back up and I just leave it pulled out at the bottom.) see pics

- got the plastic plugs off a g35 for the bottom of the seat but they are too small. shouldn't be too hard to fix (see last pic)

- asked them for 2 other brackets that I thought held the bottom half. they dont hold anything. guess they are just guides for the seatbelts. so other than these plugs(that are too small) the bottom is only held down by back half

really excited to start my interior side panels tonight.


picture time!!!

Let me start this out with PLEASE DONT HATE, I love my car as a 2 seater. 4 seaters are for moms, and have no intention of building this for HUMAN PASSENGERS. (Although if she were hot enough I would throw her in the back)

Ever since I removed all the plastic in the rear I wanted to cut all those stupid flippin cubbies out along with those horribly positioned speakers. I can't believe people custom fab up all these crazy sub boxes and amp panels that fill the entire trunk area to the top, or that nissan wasted all that valuable space with these boxes.

my vizsla (dog) rides with me literally everywhere. goes to work with me, runs errands with me, EVERYWHERE!!! most of the time I got her posted up on the front seat but when i have a passenger she has to get in the back, and goes back there quite a bit more now that she is growing bigger.




So with my z sittin in the garage all the time i though about this..........
(sorry if i used your photos, i found some of these on here)
Incase you weren't already aware or how much space its actually under there
more than i want to cut out but wow!
(pictures removed march 1, 2011 irrelevant)

I more or less want to cut out the glove boxes and speakers. I have no intention of removing any of the rear strut brace, but cut out exactly as seen below. I got a pretty good idea of how I'm gunna fab up the lower seat for something one-off and super clean. As well as some panels for speakers. It even looks like that pan is molded for a pair seats

My one question is i've only seen this removed in the case of a roll cage. The frame for it all is tack welded in but i don't think it holds any structural support. would I need a rear hoop or for harness bar to help hold through the middle of the car? looking for input

heres a rough idea of something I tried to get out in illustrator. looks nicer in my head. colors may change
