Is It Possible? - Standard Gtr Seat Rails For A Recaro Sr3?


Recommended Posts

Hey,

Just got some SR3's and now looking to fit them into the car when it gets back.

Is there anyway to get the GTR rails to fit the recaro seats?

P.S if this is the wrong section or a repost of some sort, please delete this and point me in the right direction. and not to the search function.

not really, skylines have a nasty shaped floor plan which makes it very hard to get a seat rail right.

By far the easiest way to go is to buy the bride rails, they bolt straight in.

If you want to do it with generic rails there will be a lot of reinforcing, welding and cuting. And I don't think you should stuff around with seat mounts unless you are really confident

I'm 6'3" and don't hit the roof. I do hit the roll cage with the side of my helmet but that probably isn't an issue for most road cars. Would also depend what seat some are higher than others, and what angle you have the back at - mine is fixed back race seat.

heres how mine r done

could have been a bit neater but i was in a rush n they have been fine for the last year

they do sit a bit high but its not a drama unless u have a cage as duncan said before, and

i could not get them lower without cutting the body support the stock seat sits on

ok, i guess i'm gonna have to find rails.

Are passenger rails different to drivers?

Try the bride rails to suit SR3 for the GTR. Driver and passenger are different.

I got some RX rails from Jackie at CJ Motors on Nissan Silvia. They were about $250 each delivered from memory. They are meant to drop the seat position by about 30mm which should leave the SR3 at a similar height to standard as they seem to have more seat base height than the GTR seats.

My new SR3's just landed from J and are due to go in when I drop some lard lol - just a wee bit tight for road comfort - probably tolerable on the track. Off for a run we go....

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
