    60mm is the max you can go, you need to remove the arm at the bottom that assists with folding the seat forward - you will see which one when you fold the seat forward
    if you try to go further back several problems

    1) rear bottom of the seat fouls the floor, and it wont sit down, will always "flop around"
    2) you cannot move the rear bracket on the floor any further back, as you cannot get under there to tighten bolts
    3) you will loose the rear bolt of the two at the front of the seat - IMHO very very bad juju
    4) the side of the seat fouls the wheel arch

    after lots and lots of R&D, we came up with a happy compromise of 60mm
    enough for me to sit in the back, with the front seats ALL the way back, and still have room between front seat and my knee's

    biggest problem we found was the cracking of the floor around where the bracket on the floor is bolted
    if its cracked, get it welded up properly

    under one side on mine was the Aux fuel tank - hence the "get it welded up properly"

    we had a look at a few GQ's, and they were all the same

    I will have to dig out my old Nokia phone, as I think there is picture of the brackets on there

    I know I took some, but cannot find them

    Thanks Bigcol,
    I will get hold of another set of hands before I attempt this. Doesn't sound too complicated to do. Only a problem if I need to weld something.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Sold it and leased a bt50 through work. Had a big disagreement with my boss and was told he would find a way to finish me up. Coincidently we have a house in Coffs Harbour that the tenants said they wanted to move out so we moved from Bathurst back to Coffs. Sold the bt50 and picked up this Maverick this week. Just need to find a job now. Miss tHe GU though.
