  1. (Continuing from this thread http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/326464-best-place-to-try-racing-seats-in-melbourne/ ) Ok so I went and got a new seat for the R34 today, a Sparco Sprint V fixed back. Now I just have to get it mounted it in my R34 GTT Sedan Here's what I've learned so far by having a look around (see pics below too): The Sparco is both FIA and ADR approved The OEM seat is secured by bolts not rivets so theoretically it could be replaced with another The seat belt receptacle moves with the seat, which I'd love to retain with the new seat The OEM seat bolt pattern is 325mm wide, 350mm deep The Sparco bolt pattern is 345mm wide, 270mm deep, so it'll need offset plates at least The bottom of the OEM is curiously shaped – the front is higher than the rear to clear the height/tilt control mechanism. I'm not sure if you can just drop in a flat bottomed seat but perhaps worth a go. With the rear of the seat at its highest I think a flat seat would clear the cross bars (see pic). I didn't buy the Sparco slider yet as I'm keen to try mounting on OEM rails and slider if possible. Has anyone mounted the Sparco or a similar fixed back seat on the OEM rails in a 4door GTT? Is there any chance of retaining the OEM height/tilt controls without breaking the original seat? Would the new seat fit next to them? The controls go through the fabric but I'm sure the knobs come off somehow. If OEM rails are not possible what's the recommendation? I've read somewhere that Bride rails might work but I want to be 100% sure as this is a sedan and apparently the coupe floorpan is different. With the sedan the rear end of the LH rail bolts onto the transmission tunnel (side) whereas the front end and both ends of the RH rail bolt onto the floor. Also what do you do with the seat belt receptacle (which I must retain for the street) on an aftermarket rail...? Thanks heaps!! Sparco bolt pattern: OEM seat bolt pattern: Seat adjustment mechanism: Seat adjustment knobs: Sparco Sprint V: I'm planning on running normal 3-point belt on the street and a 4-point harness on the track, a bit like this (notice how the seatbelt receptacle is slotted through the side of the seat): On the track I'm planning on running the harness to the rear seat belt points as a harness bar is not an option in this car:
