I have read many threads about mounting Recaros in my R33, I have found it quite confusing so far. This is what I understand;

Recaro make rails labelled as fitting R32/33 but according to Duncan they don't fit without modification. Can someone confirm, don't see why they would sell them if they don't fit. I rang Idealseat for a price and they didn't mention any modifcation was necessary.

Bride need to have holes drilled to mount the seat to the rail, but fit otherwise.

Who has gone through this before? Let me know what you found out.

Also, I understand that the Recaro rails are ADR approved so if they fit without mods that will be the best option, if I use the Bride rails what would engineer approval cost?

The Recaro rails I used bolted straight up in the GTR33, and 32/33/34 coupes take the same seat base except R34GT's. I must add my rails have very generous mounting holes and need washers for secure mounting.

That is incorrect.

As Geoff has said, R32/R33 seats are interchangable.

Get some R32 or R33 Recaro rails and you should be fine.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
