Yeah... mine are out within a week of me buying the vehicle.
Wouldn't it be nice if Mr Nissan had and option of "3rd row seats or twin lockers"... then Vic Roads et al could huck up the Rego on the 7 seater Soccer Mom Trucks and make a fortune and us real dudes would get a set of free lockers

Hey matey,
ROFL... yeah, whilst is a bit of a technical thing I have only seen posts up on various Club and Vehicle forums from Qld'rs.
Thats first hand posts I might add, I tend to disregard 'mate of a mate' posts as 1 instance can spiral into 100 posts over time skewing the apparent incidence of 'Nanna' policing the issue.
IMHO one usually needs to go out of ones way to p1ss off the Copper or the Transport dude before they get too agitated about things... well, 99% of the time, altho I hear there is a hard case or two down your way

So the lessen here in Qld is that as long as you have no intention on selling, and you still have the seatbelts in place, the seats are fine to be removed and stored..., as long as Mr Plod doesnt get too ambitious. I guess this has taught me a thing or two, especially as the reason for my original post was disbelief that we had to plate it at all for seat removal, another learning curve in the world of beaurocracy
back in feb 09 i had to put the troll over the pits to get it rego'ed
the inspector saw the holes in the rear cargo area where the seat belts had been, and asked if it had come out of the factory with a rear dickie seat, i said yes, but that i had removed it, as i did not need it and eventually drawers and cargo barrier would be going in
hed still registered it as a 7 seater, the 1 thing he did pick me on, was i did not have the headrests for the second row seats in, he actually made me go home, put them in, and drive back there before he would pass it,
apparently it is illegal to have your 2nd row seats down, ready for passengers without the headrests in place

RACQ reckons you need to be able to convince whoever is asking that it's a temporary mod. Should be ok if you just take them out and chuck them in teh shed but if you can't prove you still have them or have installed a drawer system or the like good luck convincing him. Dunno about other states but that's the regs in QLD
In the years I spent playing with the compliance of vehicles in Australia, I've never heard of any regulations relating to the ADRs (Australian Design Rules) or any other state rules that states that in the act of removing an OE seat from a vehicle that vehicle will now require a modification of additional compliance plate to be affixed to that vehicle.
Of course it's a completely different case when wanting to add more seats to a vehicle than what was original listed on the compliance plate.
Things have changed then, if 'permanently removed'...
QLD - http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/a1...orvehicles.pdf
NSW - same
SA - Same
WA - depends who you ask
Vic - OK if vehicle has less than 10 seats OEM
NT - who cares
TAS - who?

Thanks ET - puts it to rest once and for all ...
I will have to add, that in WA, there is very little you can actually do without plating a vehicle. Under VSB6 you cant remove any seats that come factory fitted. The issue isn't the removal, it is the fact that they can be re-installed incorrectly. ie, wrong grade bolts, and/or over or under tensioning. Any idiot can do this, but not many seem to do it correctly. You would be surprised at the shite I see at work.....I could take and post pics but I would get in trouble.
