Hi,

Ive tried searching but had no luck in finding an answer.

Which seats are more comfortable? R33 or 34 GTR seats?

Which ones are lower? (this is because im 185cm tall.. 6"2, and like to have the head space :happy:) and ive read somewhere in this forum that your knee could be hitting the steering wheel. in one of these seats.

The seat would be going in a 33gtst aswell..ive read that both seats go in perfectly. But the thing is, im unsure about the rails. Would i need to buy the GTR rails? or would i just need the seats and the gtst rails would be fine?

what about the seat belt and the buckle/socket(not too sure whats it called) ?

would the belt be ok with the seats aswell?

Suggestions or advice would be great.

Any info would be much appriciated

Thanks in advance

Peter

Great! thanks for the info.

just one more question..

If i replace the stock GTST seats with the GTR seats, would i have any problems with the authority? as in, if they ask me questions like,

are these seats stock or do i have any certificates for these seats being in the car?

i dont know wat questions they'll ask me, IF any.. but should i expect anything? how should i reply?

Thanks

Was thinking about putting new seats into my GTST but have been told that putting Recaros etc in were illegal. But this way is legal to do isnt it? What are these seats worth a a pair GTR V SPEC Seats GTR M SPEC Seats

someone was flogging a set for $1600 id say 1st hand you would be looking $2500ish but for $1600 its a bargin, id buy straight away..

Id say its legal as they are in the model above yours.. if they look stock you'll be fine ..

These are the 2 types of seats being questioned that i am interested in..

Both seats are good and look great..10x better then the stock gtst seats

R34 gtr..not sure wat spec though..but wen i searched the forum for gtr seats..a few for sale ones came up..

- saw these going for around $1.5k to $2.5k

R33 GTR - i saw these going for about $600 to $1k

Im hoping they are legal and wont have any trouble with police..coz i read tat some things done to the car need a mod plate and some seats need to be ADR approved..

so im hoping, just because im changing the seats from one model to the other doesnt get me or anyone for that matter, into any trouble.

Ive seen the first seats somewhere in the FS section from a R34, said to be stock R34 seats..

They look good, but im not too fond about the rubber look..

Just the thought of sitting it in with shorts and wanting to move, and ur legs rub the rubber..just doesnt feel too good.

i guess it would be too "sticky/grippy" for me

the first 2 you posted up are eastbear seats if im correct... not gtr ones.. gtr ones came in suede with blue stitching, red for the series 3 gtr R33s.

Eastbear seats are the first ones i uploaded? or the ones DECIM8 uploaded?

Sorry i just noticed i double posted within 3 mintues..i couldnt find the delete post button..

the pics in post 12 are east bear copies. they are not the same as the genuine R34 GTR seats and I wouldn't pay too much for them.

these are genuine R34 GTR seats (in my R32 GTR).

looks great mate! how much did you pay for them? if you dont mind me asking

how did u mount them in the 32? dont you need custom rails or some crap?

And yeah they are it .. The 34 V spec is the more uncomfortable edition and the M spec is the Leather trimmed fully sick ones.. Either way they are both similar... obviously different in material and a few other ways.

I doubt you will be in trouble for fittin them.. Only 34's and 33's are a straight fit for them from memory.. I could be wrong.. If they are GTR seats and the cop asks just say they are stock seats for the GTR and he'll be like oh .. well then dunno what that is but ok

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
