I am regrettably putting this up for sale. This would have to be one of the cleanest, most upgraded and well-sorted examples in the country, plus it's engineered for the engine conversion, suspension, turbo and cooler - Included is a comprehensive 39 page engineers report. In the time I've owned it I have fit a new LSD equipped gearbox, a new cat convertor and all of the upgraded brake gear. I have driven it maybe 50kms in that time to workshops and last weekend to classic Japan. As I said, it is engineered for everything except the brakes, however I can put you in contact with the engineer who is more than happy to sign off on the other stuff.

Hi All, been searching and cannot find a "definitive" answer. basically, what front seats aftermarket or not that fits onto the GTR R33 mounting points - this includes the seat with the matching bolted on rails? E.g.- do R34 front seats and rails bolts onto R33/GTR chassis? etc. Im not very fond of the GTR front seats as it seems too low for me (im 5'8) ..i like to see at least the front hood of my car from the drivers seats are there any nissan (front GTR, GTST, silvia, etc) or aftermarket that have height adjustment for the drivers seat and looks as nice as the GTR seats?? any ideas? im sure someone out there has done this for either comfort or style etc. thanks

Installing New Seats DIY on installing replica SRIII Recaro Seats on Skyline 350GT Coupe (CPV35) Tools Needed: 14mm socket wrench Flat heat screw driver Plier (Needle nose) Set of Allen Key (Optional) 0.5W or 1W 2R2 2.2 Ohm (NOT 2.2 k Ohm) Resistor (RED RED GOLD GOLD) to cancel the airbag light on dash (A pair can be bought from Jaycar for 45 cents) Wiring tape (Nitto tape) Scissors Cable ties (Optional) Hacksaw or metal cutting circular saw (Very very very optional) A few M10 x 1.25 (length depends on your seat rails) bolts and washers (Optional) A friend (Optional) Google (Optional) Stock Seats Weight (Including Rails etc.): Drivers Side 26.75Kg Passenger Side 23.45Kg Recaro Replica Seats Weight (Including Rails etc.): Drivers Side 18.30Kg Passenger Side 17.90Kg 1. Removing the stock seats (If you know what you are doing, it takes no more than 10 minutes): Remove the rail/screw covers by pulling them up. The rail cover for the rear bolts needs to be pressed in the centre and then slide it out. Shaking it a bit might help remove them. 2. Use a 14mm socket and remove all 4 bolts. 3. Tilt the seat back to remove the harness under it. 4. Carefully remove the seat. For the driver side, moving up the steering wheel will give you more room to remove the seat. This can be done by yourself but having a friend will help. Folding the seat will also help removing it but luckily the coupe’s door is large so there will be no problem. The passenger seat is much easier to remove. 5. Remove the seat belt socket. Good vacuum clean inside as you can reach places where you cannot when the seat is there. You may also find some money! I found around $3 in coins lol 2. Making SRS airbag canceller (do this before installing the new seats!) When you unplug all the wiring harness for the stock seats, you will have the SRS airbag error light flashing on your dash board. This is because you unplugged the airbag sensor. You may need to do step no. 4 even if your new seats have airbags. If they don’t then follow the following instructions: Resistor Package Using a plier, bend both ends of the resistor so it becomes thicker Insert (the side does not matter) it into the airbag wiring Make sure it is firmly in place and touching the terminals inside of it 4. Run the airbag diagnostics/resetting. To reset the light simply turn the ignition to the on position, (you don’t need to start it). All the lights should stay on for their diagnostic check. As soon as the airbag light goes off, before it starts flashing, immediately turn the car off. Repeat this 3 or 4 times (turning to on then off) and the light should go away. 5. Wrap the resistor with wiring tape 6. You may want to organise the wires under the seats with some cable ties 3. Installing New Seats: This will vary depending on what kind of seat and rails you get, but most of the part should be fairly similar. I got my seats from China (brought them with me as check-in luggage on the airplane lol). I had to dissemble the back part and seat part so I could pack it within accepted luggage size. The main problem that you may have is with the seat rails… The seller in China did not have the rails for the CPV35, so I got for the 350Z as the measurements are the same. However, I needed to do some modifications to use these rails. I had to cut the rails “cross bars” as there are a small “bump” on the floor on both sides. Took 4 hours to cut them using a hacksaw (wish I had a circular saw lol). Flip the seats and install the seat brackets that move back and forth. You will need to press the place I circulated and move it back and forth to put the screws. For mine I used a 6mm Allen Key. 2. Install the seat rails (if you purchased one specifically for the CPV35, then you may not need modification). 3. Install the seat belt socket on the side of the seat rail. You may need a new bolt and washer to secure it in place. 4. Put the seat into position and tighten the bolts (stock bolts). PS.: You will note that the driver side floor for the rails is not even. The left side is higher than the right. What I did was to buy a longer bolt and a few washers/bolt spacers to fill the gap on the right side as my rails were for the 350Z. The seat position ended up being a bit higher than stock ;( I bought a second hand seat rail for the CPV35 from Japan so hopefully it will be on a similar height as the stock. I am waiting my aunt to send it to me so this solution is temporary. It took me quite me around 12-15 hours across 3 days to finish this project. If I do it now, with the correct direct bolt on parts, I think I can finish it in less than 3 hours. I noticed that the quality of the seat is not as good as the stock, in terms of back strength. When I accelerate, I can feel my back tilting back a bit (like you can do in an office chair for eg) but lateral hold is quite good. The seating position is a bit too high too. But considering the price of them, I cannot complain at all! It was $100 per seat and $50 each rail. I had to buy another rail for the driver’s side from Japan but it was still around $85. I got 4 point racing seat belts too but could not install it (didn't bother trying too hard). I consider this mod purely for looks rather than performance because the stock seats were not as heavy as I expected and the back support is only fair. I hope this helps you if you would like to install new seats!

Hi Guys, I'm stripping out a MkIII Supra for the track, for sale are the 2x Bride Low-Max seats that came with it, and the Original Supra Recaros. (We're putting in fixed-back race seats) The Driver's Bride is almost as-new, and the passenger's only has marks from mounting, and sitting on the floor, you'd barely know it's been in a car. $800 the pair ono, they're advertised elsewhere & on ebay. The Recaros have height & angle headrest adjustment, thigh-support adjustment, driver's has seat-base height adjust too. Passenger's is in good nick, driver's - well you can see in the pic, foam is all good - it's just the normal wear points on the bolster. Not bad for 25yrs old I thought. $550 the pair ono, they're advertised elsewhere & on ebay as well. PM me or reply here, Seats are in Preston, Melbourne. First preference given to local pick-up. Shipping, if sold interstate to be organised by the buyer, at their expense. And no, I don't want to sell them individually. (sorry)
