Universal Rail Modification

[Mike_]

I'm looking to buy a pair of seats from Just Jap that come only with "universal rails". Supposedly they need to be "modified and adapted" to fit my S1 2dr R33 gts-t

I just have a number of questions that I need answered before i go ahead with the purchase:

What is involved in modifying the rails? Is it something I can do myself?

If not, then how much (on average) would I be expecting to pay someone to fit them?

Has anybody here who has modified these rails themselves give me some insight into it please!

Thanks guys

Around $300 per side is fairly reasonable IMHO - You can still end up with a good set of brand new seats fitted for under $1000 which is pretty decent.

Thats fine, Naturally I don't want to get it done elsewhere.

So I need to know, what needs to be modified??

[hanyou]

the labour cost more then the seats. thats the only thing stopping me of getting a pair. if you find a way to get it done cheaper let us kno

ive never seen the bottom of either the seat or top of the rail, but wouldnt it be easier to adapt the existing rail to the new seat?

Basically, it's a real bitch of a job.

What you have to do, is end up with some combination of the oringal rails mated with the universal rails.

It's totally bogey. Requires welding and cutting. If you don't ahve a welder, drill, grinder, I wouldn't even think about trying it yourself.

If you have a look in the for sale section, you can buy bride rails second hand for pretty cheap. like maybe 200 each. They're much better.
