I know alot of people wanting R34 seats from the GTR, obviously they are not easy to come across. I know Just Jap sold a pair on ebay for $2000. How much are people willing to pay for these?

I actually have a pair in my 33gts-t and dont want to post in the for sale section as i know it is not ebay.

But i would like to know how much people are willing to pay if i were to sell them.

the least amount of money of course >_<

but seriously, i would never pay 2grand for seats. even if they were R34 GTR seats. i would probably pay $1200 which would be the most. just because im a tightarse! you can buy a pair of sparco,bride, whatever seats for the same amount, maybe even cheaper.

Yeah, I agree with the earlier comments. You can get some of the nicest seats for $1000 each, be it Momo, Sparco, Recaro, Bride, etc. Why would you spend over $1000 per seat for stock seats?

Then again, a fool and his money are soon parted...

I've had a set of GTR33 seats apart to discover minimalistic welds and poor structural design around stress locations resulting in cracks in the tubing in the heat affected zone. So ultimately they are a good manufacturer seat, better than most but in back to back testing they have nowhere near the support, quality of manufacture and rigidity of something like a Recaro. The aftermarket seat wins hands down for my comfort and quality choice.

That is my professional engineers judgement.

That being said they are designed to fit a Skyline so such niceties as having the passenger seat roll forward on seat tilt may be what people want so they may wish to pay for that convenience.

Ultimately it is individual choice and folks will pay what they feel comfortable with.

recaro's look so stupid in a street car. see all the people driving with 200ke cars packed with recaros, roll cages and harnesses... idiots

What if you take your car to the odd track day??

Might look stupid in an Excel but look at home in a skyline.

Do you prefer 20 inch chromies and airbrushed bonnets??

for a second hand seat, they are horridly overpriced.

consider the recaro or similar option in the pricing and it blows the 34GTR seat outta the water

Better build quality, brand new, warranty etc etc etc and for less than the cost of 2nd had seats.

But then, as stated, people will pay what they think. Right person right day you'll get around 2.5-3k

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
