Hey guys,

Trying to find someone who can professionally install my new seats (32 GTR) into my S13.

SiN helped me install the passenger one, but theres one space thats off the mark, im assuming a new hole will need to be drilled etc... but i figured id get em both done properly...

so yeah anyone know a place that do good seat installs?

Cheers guys.

Beau

Haig Park Service Centre 6241 7410 and/or Pride Auto Accesories 6280 6222.

Yellow pages pg 939. Motor Car seats &/or conversions ;)

Tried Haig Park Service Centre and theyre actually roof rack city... :) but they said to call Pride Auto Accesories. gave them a call and was told to take the seats in for an approximate price... got some rough idea's on price... round $500+ doesnt sound cheap... :mad:

Thats how much it cost to get a monza seat mounted in my datsun in custom position with custom rails involving cutting the body to get the seat on the floor and all sorts of jazz. well worth it though as i have a perfectly mounted seat.

I did it with an engineer mate in a backyard over a weekend though and paid for the use of all his tools (inc hoist) and his expertise...

Can you use ideal seat co rails at all, they are really good - they cost though ($550 for the pair in my old car) but you keep the whole factory looking rail and don't need an engineers....

so the only holes that don't line up are the ones that anchor the rear of the seat on the outside ie the ones at the front and the ones that anchor to the trans tunnel are OK?

if that's the case just take them to a fabricator and tell them what you need, find someone in the yellow pages that does jobbing work ie small stuff. they will want to know the distance between the hole in the seat leg and the hole in the floor, centre to centre. also tell them you want about 10mm metal around the new hole.

and make sure you use big ass washers - 20mm diam or so - under the mounting bolts because you don't want them to rip through the anchors. get them from specialty fasteners in Fyshwick.

let us know how you go.

alternatively, have a look and you'll see the runners are probably rivetted to the frame. figure out how far back the runner needs to go, and have a close look at how they are riveted. i did this when doing a conversion and there just happened to be unused holes that lined up perfectly if i drilled out the rivets and moved the runners back. i used bolts to hold it together, had it welded in the new place and it was perfect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.

      Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
