hi everyone. tried searching this but no luck.

just wondering if there are any complications with aftermarket seats in a r33 gtst. im looking at either bride, sparco or recaro. havnt decided yet. also does anyone know of a good place to purchase these items with seat rails also. or can u usually mod the standard rails. obviously the seat needs to be secure or the cops wont like it but does anyone usually get defected for it.

cheers guys.

just want to know, if a seat has a univaersal rail, does that mean no mods are needed to fit the seat or does it mean they bolt on?

i was lookin at buying these but want more info b4 i commit

Most bride seats are ADR approved, some are even FIAT approved. Ask for the ADR approval paperwork when ordering.

This is only my thoughts, but think about how the seat will react in a crash. As I would like to have something that will not buckle and causing trauma injuries just so that I can have the look of the real thing. Skimping on some things when building your car will not be a problem, however do not compromise your safety for the sake of looks.

Hi,

I purchased some aftermarket, non-reclinable seats and i was unable to put them in due to my Skyline being a 2 door car. The cope told me that if i were to have a crash the people in the back couldnt get out. so make sure you dont go and waste your money by making the same mistake. i ended up selling them for more anyway :P . Ebay has a great variety of reclinable racing seats, im sure the seller would be able to supply the CAD approval etc. however it all depends on the cash limit, and what quality you want.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
