got a r32 gtr seat sent over from Melb (im from Tas) totally stoked, that was until i tried to fit it up! when i looked at the seat the rails seemed to be slightly bent in but i assumed that was ok as i had not pulled my old seat out and had a look, went to bolt it up the rail closest to the door sat fine but the inside rail closest to the console doesnt go anywhere near the bolt hole, appears bent inwards, havent spoken to the former owner or the freight company yet as i fear someone has farked it up along the way, got a mate coming over in the next couple of days to have a look, but im assuming it is farked, heres a couple of shots, its just bent to buggery!! before i purchused it i did a search on forums and checked out if the bolt patterens were the same it it says it is, any thoughts?

I have r33 gtst seats in my r32. Bolt in sweet.

The base where the rails attach on your seat there is bent to buggery.

My seats were out of a car that went sideways into a non-moving object, so had to repair the base on the passengers. Fairly easy to strip down and repair.

Hopefully the back isn't bent as well otherwise you'll have a fun time trying to get it all straight again, and because it has already been bent and restraightened, the metal will be weaker..

My opinion....

I for one would be asking some pointed questions of the bloke who sold you the seat. Like how hard he was hit when the car got pummelled on the passenger side.

That seat looks for all the world like it was involved in a major side impact. Be careful before you use it for anything.

now that i have some input, its time to weigh things up, the more i look at it the more pissed i get hmpff! has anyone transfered the rails setup from a r33gtst seat onto a gtr seat? would this be difficult? doesnt look easy to me , plus i have to dismantle my perfectly good r33 seat, maybe someone has a seat that is shagged and rails are still good that i could buy off em? wishful thinkin!

Considering that is the left side of the drivers seat as well..

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
