lordsnipe Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 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?

fredzz32 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/100134-gts-t-vs-gtr-seats/#findComment-1825686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gts-t Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) I love my R33 GTR seats <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I got my pair for 600 in new condtion, they are worth every cent. There were also a fair bit lighter than the stock gtst ones.

Tommyk Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 the 33 gtr seats are a dream. Theyre not rock hard, but still offer plenty of support. Much better than the stock recaro's in type R's, which i think are a touch too hard for my liking Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/100134-gts-t-vs-gtr-seats/#findComment-1825707 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordsnipe Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 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.

benm Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 A GTS-t seat compared to a GTR seat is like sitting on a 10yo wooden park bench. Their is no comparison....

markimak Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 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..

_8OO5TED_ Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) 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....

lordsnipe Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 I've just installed a set of R33 GTR seats. Rears are not much different but I got them to match the fronts. The fronts are absolute awesome! Well worth the cash spent!
