MrRoper Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Just saw this posted on another forum I use http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201306177328845 It looks like this has back seats? is there a conversion you can do!? Quote
Ekona Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Nah, that's an image from a completely different car, they've uploaded the wrong one is all. I've seen a couple of Zeds with rear seats, but it's a conversion that I think most agree on here is bordering on dangerous. Quote

Ekona Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Could be, I guess, if you squinted and imagined a bit. 1 Quote
AliveBoy Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 I don't think it would be too dangerous except for the headroom issue and fitting the top of the seatbelt in. When all the gumph gets pulled out of the back of a 350 you can see the dips in the chassis where the G35/V35 seats would go. The strut brace looks like the seats are fitted to it in those pictures. If you look at the through the rear window pic you can see the tops of the seats tight against the struts. Quote
14N Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 OK, I just called the garage because I'm curious and I have a telephone It DOES have rear seats fitted. They were fitted 'professionally' and have been there a while, with no issues with MOT etc. There is very little room (read that as no room) in the back as we'd all expect really. Certainly not for adults (bit like a Mk1 TT then ) The CAT C damage was front end. Quote

MrRoper Posted July 2, 2013 Author Posted July 2, 2013 Good work 14N, I was also "investigating" and for anyone wnating to know how its done, here is a guy in the US that has done the conversion http://my350z.com/forum/exterior-and-interior/510059-2-2-backseat-project-lookin-for-advice.html Quote
rabbitstew Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Ive seen a couple of cars with rear seats and the general consensus is that its possibly okay for children or people with no arms & legs. 1 Quote
AMT Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't touch a car like the Zed with retro fitted seats... not would I want to do it lol. Its clearly too small a car and looks...crap, and probably dangerous lol Edited July 2, 2013 by AMT Quote
zDan Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Yes. Imagine the fun of slamming down the hatch with someone sitting in the back seat. That is someone that's got the appropriate body parts above their shoulders.... Quote
Stutopia Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Good work 14N, I was also "investigating" and for anyone wnating to know how its done, here is a guy in the US that has done the conversion http://my350z.com/forum/exterior-and-interior/510059-2-2-backseat-project-lookin-for-advice.html I nearly passed out when I saw this. Who lets dog claws on their leather seats? Edited July 2, 2013 by SuperStu Quote
GT Driver Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 A guy in a petrol station asked me if my Zed had seats in the back I told him to go out and have a look and of course once he saw the rear strut brace that's when the penny dropped! Quote
AMT Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Dunno why some people think that. I had a couple at work ask that when I first got it. It looks clearly not viable for rear seats...even if it hadn't the brace at the back lol...it has a stamp sized rear quarter window for god sake if that wasn't big enough a clue. And im doubting even kids could fit in with the boot shut.. lol Just...no lol Quote
