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.

    • The title should have posted "EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26" I can seem to edit thr title on my Android.
    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
