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

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
