The U.S. specification 90-92 LS400 has two metal tabs - one on each side - where the lower leading edge of the seat cushion meets the carpet. Pulling the tabs allow the front of the seat cushion to be popped up and the seat cushion pulled forward and removed. On a U.S. model, it is then obvisious how to remove the hardware that holds the rear seat back in place.

Your Celsior may be different - especially if it has a rear power seat where the lower seat back is connected to the seat cushion. If it does you might try sliding the seat all the way forward, lean down and try to see how the seat cushion is connected to the tracks the cushion slides forward on. I've only seen your question asked once on one of the U.S. Lexus forums and the person who asked it did not re-post to tell if he was successful in removing the rear seat or, if so, how he did it.

You might try posing your question on a NZ/Australia or UK forum where there are a lot more Celsior owners or just ask someone locally in Japan.

thanks man, i'll give it a try and let you know. I wont be able to work on the car until next weekend.

i'm swapping my airbags for shocks and springs but I cannot figure out how to remove the backseat... i dont event know where to begin.. :(

anyways, its an older car, 1992 model... any help would be great!

wow.. what a warm welcome.. anyways, here's some pics..

hi everyone, im the owner of hipertekspeed.com and a new owner of a Toyota Aristo. I really like the car and im very excited to join the VIP club lol... its really big here like the tuning scene. Im not a stranger to cars but im an idiot when it comes to a lot of things..

well, first question is the stereo. the old stereo is skipping non stop and i would like to replace it with an aftermarket cd/dvd player. the stereo harnesses here in Japan for this car is over $300. They call it the "super sound live harness".. screw that, i know there's another option and i just cant find the damn thing on the net. i know there's a harness out there to make sure all the speakers will work in the car.

next, performance. I have owned nissans and the one before the Aristo was an Impreza type RA. I've done some light tuning and such with some bolt ons. what do you guys recommend as far as squeezing a little bit of power out of the 2JZ. I'm doing some research right now but your help would make it easier for me lol.

enough of my yapping. thanks and looking forward to meeting everyone here. i will post pics of my car soon...( as soon as I find out where my wife put my camera lol)
