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?

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.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
