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....

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
