I am looking at buying some Recaro's for the Stagea s/hand

I have a few different cloth trims to choose from

What are thoughts?

I really like the 3rd pair in from left. Id never ONCE even given seats a thought until I saw this thread, saw them, relooked, looked again, and again, and again. Now, I gotta say, I want those seats in my S1 Stagea. They look damn comfy. They look nice. Im now thinking eventually Im going to have to get one nice seat in for me.

I was going to spend some $$ and get my standard seat rails extended and legally certified, but now Im not sure....... how do these types of chairs fit into the Stageas?? sorry a noob question but Ive never been into interiors before. I need more room for my legs and bad knees, I want comfort as well. So how does a nice Recaro get bolted into a Stagea with chair-travel space from rear seat forward (so the wife can still drive it, shes small Im tall)

companies like Recaro and Bride make seat mounts to suit Stagea's

As mention before, Skyline rails suit but are lower than the Stagea ones which may suit you better Brendan if you want my head height

These cost approx $250 each new or $125-160 s/hand

Even SAAS make rails now for R32,R33 and Silvia for about $229 ea at Autobarn.

If you like the red ones

What about a set of Bride

With the Bride's you can buy the matching materail to do the rear seats and door trims aswell

Cheers for that info...... awesome

There's a local place that sells these seats, & does certified engineering works to seat rails as well. I'll definately have to talk to them anyways.

Headheight and leg room is an issue for my tall self and my shorter wife LOL so we gotta get it right!

Id like it so that my drivers seat (Recaro or standard) rail is extended right back to the rear bench seat but yet maintains closeness to steering wheel.

With head room, are Recaro's adjustable, ie seat height adjustment like standard seats?

So, buy a skyline R33 series 2 drivers seat rail, and a comfy chair to suit. Have seat rail extended backwards and fitted, legaly complied. Or buy comfy seat AND seat mounts from Recaro to suit, and alter my standard seat rail.........

Cheers, actually... silly me, I meant 2nd from right. There is that dark pair, nice. But all 4 sets look more comfy then standard, and can be 'used' to when 'using' the car!

What about these Bride's

The beauty of these you can buy the matching material for the rear seat and door trim inserts

The build quality should be as good as the recaro's?

Id like a nice comfy seat - be hard but finding one that'll suit a 2meter tall (and round LOL joke) beast like myself!

Are ADR's something that are important to you? For the sake of a seat I'd prefer something that wouldn't get me defected...

ADR's...not realy

It is normally not a problem in QLD, unlike some other states

What do you suggest?

Note.

I have already bought 2 sets of ADR approved cheaper seats thru Autobarn and others, but have decided they are all crap compared to the Recaro or Brides

If you're going with reclinables, I'd stick with the Recaro's. They're proven to be a great seat (Evo's, not to mention all of the special edition models over the years - Stageas, Legnums, etc). Not all that cheap though.

I personally would opt for Velo GP90's as I rarely do long distance driving in my cars, and I want to do some track work in my Stagea too. (When everything comes together; i.e. my bank account looks a little better) :)

I have bought some seats

Just have to wait 6-8 weeks to get them from JP

Came with Stagea rails aswell :P

Might have 260RS trim?

Hi Darrin that trim is exactly what Brett has in his car...Series 2 manual :O

  • 2 months later...

Finally got one my Garage Impul seats today. The other one will turn up in the next day or 2.

The trim turned out to be the same as a manual Stagea or 260rs

With a bit of luck I will be getting a matching rear seat tomorrow if I win the auction.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
