Hey guys,

Thinking of getting some R32/R33 GTR seats. Are they much better than R33 series 2 GTS-t seats? Or should I go for aftermarket? Just looking at pictures compared to my GTS-t seats, they don't look much more supportive.

Went for a ride in a few mate's WRX's and the Recaros in them are a dream. Not having sat in a GTR before, I'm not too sure if the GTR seats are like the WRX Recaros.

Can anyone shed any light?

Cheers

my girlf has has 99 wrx and the seats are only comfy for a little while, after about halfa the bottom starts to get tough. i prefer the gtst seats actually any adjustable skyline seats could sit in those all day

Is there any difference between R32 and R33 GTR seats?

They look the same, they bolt up the same, the only thing apart from age (and therefore condition) is that the R33 seats have stitching across the middle section.

$600 for a set of R33 GTR seats .. I would pay that in a second. Nobody has any, R32 sets are going for 800+ atm.

GTR seats by far. OK driven R33 GTST seats sucks no side support too high good position though.... my old GTiR had better support and harder sides.. GTR seats has more side support.. but it needs it being able to rip through corners at such speeds..

pay the $600 and the get the R33 GTR seats..

GTR seats > GTS-t seats....

there is no comparison, look for some R33/R34 ones, as alot of R32 ones are torn on the side bolster.....

I hunted for some, but couldnt find any so ended up with some 2nd Hnd Recaro SR3 seats for my GTS-t. SOOO much better than stock too....

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
