i know but so expensive, and only purple ones i can find 😢

I was looking for goodies at my mates shop.. Same price for red ones.. Can't remember the make..

update:

so in my bid to document the process of my car,
here is the rear seat removal and boot carpet removal:

really simple job
all you need is a screw driver

to start of here are the seats in question

open your boot, notice the parcel shelf

unfasten the parcel shelf strings on the inside of the boot lid, remove shelf

next, pull up both tabs/hinges on either side/top corner of the backrest of the rear seats to unfasten the backrest

the previous step was to allow you access to the screws holding the rail which fastens the boot carpet to the back seats

undo the screws on the rail

fold backrest and carpet down

remove carpet (my brother in the background being enthusiastic 😂 )

remove backrest

for the lower part of the seat you simply click both tabs, each under where the passenger would sit,

remove bottom half of seat

simple,

done

Looking good man!

mite as well take off the mounting point for the seat backrest while your at it

all you need again is a star screw driver

unscrew the 1 screw..

done

so once the back seats have been taken out its time to take out the seat belts and brackets,

all you need is a socket and wrench, i cant remember which socket 😳 but either 10, 12 or 14mm will be needed, and maybe an extension

for the part on the seat it simply 1 bolt, simply removed

obviously there one on either side, removed both

then for where it attaches to the side of the car theres 1 bolt, when you remove it it will roll up to the to mount and mechanism

both sides

the last point where the seat belt attaches in by the rear quarter window,
simply work/pull the plastic cover of the seat belt mechanism/bracket

then there is again just 1 bolt that needs to be removed, its quite close to the window so be REALLY careful when removing, dont slip that wrench, we all know how expensive those windows are :facepalm:

with the bolt removed its still attached on the bracket (but loose), that must just be slid out

then done

so next i thought i'd remove those rear speakers that no one should have the torture of listening to

all you'l need is some screw drivers maybe a small wrench and sockets

first you can pull off the grid/grill covering the speakers

next you can remove the plastic panel covering the speaker bracket, it just screws off

next i just cut the speaker wires, for some reason mine ran through here where you get to the rear shock mount

pull the interior lining away from the metal bracket holding the speaker, to get to the screws fastening it

the metal bracket that the whole speaker is mounted to is held on by i think 3 screw, in the middle and both sides

remove the screws and take of the bracket and speaker

so next step,
taking out the interior lining on the sides of the back of the car

it is attached on the floor in a couple places by screws

then its attached on the sides by these plastic rivets that must be pried/flat screw drived off

its then just a a question of pulling it away from the body work

it gets quite hard to pull of in one piece when it gets to the bracket that holds the back seat rest in place (which i said i removed earlier but must have been after this 😳 ) and the back side arm rest panel,
just work and pull at it while moving the back side arm rest away and it should come out

then you can just pull it away and remove

Haha dude your doing a ace job!

haha thanks, time consuming 🙄

so i only decided to take of the side arm rest panel after everything else, was thinking of leaving it in

its just attached on the floor by 1 or 2 screws

then its just prying it of on the top below the window, and around where its connected, it just has expanding clips, it takes some force, you can try pushing the clips to make it easier to remover but you can just pull it off if your care full keeping the clips fine

then its done and can be removed, how it looks

almsot done with the interior, next is taking of the interior piece that covers the back of the boot and the tail lights

to remove the bottom fabric half the are some screws that need to be removed, then it simple comes off

we then encounter some more of those plastic rivets that need to be pried/flat screw drived, forced off, these fasten the last plastic trim bit

all done

so finally the last step to removing my back interior was to removing the piece of trim on the boot lid

it was just the plastic rivets that keep it in place, these ones seem to brake upon removal and are different to the others, a single piece rivet, i think if your gentle you could save them but not an issue for me as i doubt it wil be going back on ever

here is it removed

and here concludes my interior removal from the back of the front seats to the rear of the car

all in all its really simple and reversible if desired, it took longer to post then to actually do 🙄

done 😛

more to follow soon on the engine side of things..

do you want to sell the boot stuff?

hey, maybe, most likely, was considering keeping but most likely will just end up sitting collecting dust 😕
if your interested let me know

Would also be interested

what's happened here?

Laters Riekert

ha ha .. i enjoyed stripping my 13 all those years ago.

Out of interest... why you stripping? Personally id keep the rear passenger door panels in place.. keeps the car looking neat and they weigh next to nothing.

I tend to agree with Driftz.... the weight saved is marginal in comparison to how neat it keeps everything looking.

Unless your building a dedicated race car

wow, havent been on here in a long time,
been hectically busy but things should commence in about 2 months again, been such a long gap/brake whatever

sorry for the extremely late reply...

@riekert,
still happening, just had more pressing issues to deal with and had no time for the sx
full steam ahead at the end of the year :200sx_punk:

@dritfz, vince,
The car is going to be used primarily as a toy, and the will be a full roll cage going in in the future (i really want to make a safe car), also as neat as it does look with the back interior i really like a crisp newly sprayed stripped interior look in this application so am going that route, and ive always wanted to strip an sx and learn where everything goes

so hopefully more progress soon.....
