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

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
