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

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
