Recaro Copy Install

[siksII]

Thought i would post some pics, as i think lots of people wonder about how to fit in aftermarket seats as you cant get rails that will 100% fit.

Just finished installing passenger side this afternoon, not 100% satisfied yet

The rails are custom made to suit r33 in combination with Recaros. I had to drill holes as you can see to suit the just jap seats.

The seat sits the same height as standard, only issue is the seat belt bracket mount is too close to the seat, so you cant slide the seat forward much. Might be an issue for the drivers side, not really an issue for the passenger as you can still get in the back easy by tilting the seat forward.

thats a pretty cool looking seat

Is it just 1 of the $399 for a pair ones from Just Jap?

Have you had it re-trimmed or do they sell em like that as well?

What was involved in the installation?

Hey, thanks

they are actually a pair from the small run of genuine leather recaro copy seats, they were $599 but the only had a small number of sets, you cant get them anymore.

i have a pair of them, i only had time to install one, i will install the other one probably tomorrow

Wink:

i got a set of custom rails, they were made to bolt straight into an r33, and allow for a recaro seat to be bolted on top.

all that i had to do was to measure up and drill 4 holes in the rail as you can see from the pics, and then screw the seat onto the rail, then bolt into car, so not much involved other that lining it up which is tricky!

The custom rails are not provided by Just Jap?

no they might have some in the future but currently they only provide universal rails which need to be customised to fit any car, ie somehow mated to your stock rails

thats the issue with buying cheap copy seats, they dont come with rails to suit anything so in the end it turns out expensive, generally it would cost around 150-200 per side to get some good quality rails made up to suit an aftermarket seat.
