Recaro Seats In A Stagea

[jake32]

BTW Steve, I still owe you some for the GTR cooler hoses. Much appreciated. Or are you gonna make me turn up with a few cartons once I've moved home to Brisvegas?

sounds good to me

[Terminal]

Much help Darrin, i'll be on the lookout for a set of R33 GTR's i think. may as well, already got the gearbox

[Tangles]

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?

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...

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

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

[jasevr4]

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)

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

Similar.. although mine have those regular adjustable head rests instead of a joined moulded one....

I was talking about the trim...not the design

[darrinspencer]

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.
