Cheers, tbh I didn’t even know this was a business. I’m guessing a seat upholstery company or similar is where I need to go. I just want something I can put stuff on, like backpacks and dildos, that won’t fall down into the gaps and crevices. A few hundred USD is as far as I’m willing to go. I also don’t want it to be made from wood for weight purposes.

This and yahoo auction. Use google translate and search to see what you can get there. You'll also find - if applicable - all the other seats that fit the mounts you need.

Last year, I went on a couple of trips with my mate who has a 500hp R34 GTT sedan. I have a stock R34 GTT coupe. When it came to fill-up time, I was shocked to see we were putting near-identical amounts in. On these trips, I drove a lot less efficiently than him - keeping the revs higher - and being considerably more aggressively on back roads. Justification: it was Japan and gasoline is as cheap as piss. My car doesn't have any fuel consumption related issues. I can't remember exactly what I can get from a tank but roughly 4-500kms seems about right. As far as my friend's motor is concerned, I don't know the precise details of his build but it's something along the lines of: stock bottom end, tomei pon cams, bigger hot side, injectors, Nismo fuel pump, front-facing plenum and Nistune.

Fitment is nice and overall it looks good, albeit 19s are too big for me - I've been tempted to go with 17s. Did you roll the fenders and is there any rubbing up front at lock?

You're right, the front needs about another 5mm and a size wider on the tires. Rear needs to lose about 10mm in offset. The wheels work well with the car though, I would just see if there's any machining that can be done with the adaptor and original studs. Studs are easy to replace so you shouldn't be too frightened about shortening them. Just buy some spares first. Of course it's your car, not mine, so do what you want.

Hi all, Has anyone ever seen replacement panels for the rear seats in an R34 2-door? To comply with local laws I must remove the rear seats to keep the front buckets, this is the same as Japan but now I face the task every year as opposed to two years. Seeing as the rear seats never get used anyway, I'm thinking some sort of carpet-covered deck and panel to cover the bottom and upright portions of the rear seat area would be a visually pleasing addition and serves as somewhere to put my bag - that plus it would work well with a half cage if I persist to use the car on track. Something like what can be seen here in this F82. Seems easy enough to make, but if I can buy something it would save me the time (which I don't have much of at the moment).

I installed them on my R34. Would recommend. There's an installation guide by Wisesquare (in Japanese) on youtube that will answer all your questions. My advice, and this is where a couple of friends screwed up; stretch the sealant out evenly to about 150% it's length before inserting. 2/3 of my mates had to redo theirs because they didn't apply the sealant correctly. You absolutely do not want to do this twice.

Wow, thank you. Maybe I can finally get my neutral switch wired up.

Yeah, similar thing with the R34. I just bought a new vent assembly from yahoo auction - 11,000 JPY iirc

Oh nice, could really do with a lot of these parts on all the R chassis models

Wasn’t there some bad publicity circulating about these guys at some point on social media?

Just to nip this one in the bud, the car passed Netherlands inspection with these headlights last week.

When I re-wired/installed my Walbro 255 the fuel supply line in the engine bay popped off. Check them all thoroughly during the first few drives.

From Japan, I would recommend Trust Kikaku, based out of Ibaraki. I believe they already have a US-incorporated office for the Japan-US sales, although prices are high - they're absolutely aware of what they have. I bought my car from them, albeit domestically in Japan, and their service was tremendously good. As far as the export agents in Japan go (auction access cos), it's really a mixed bag. I've met with several and half of them were full of sh*t - I would not be trusting them with 10's of thousands of dollars. Tweed Autogarage, although I have not used them personally, the owner, Jordan, is a pretty nice guy so would be happy going with him.

Is the car lowered? Might have chewed through the harness in the wheel well
