Hey guys, I need to import a seat for my GTS that will be used for track fun days, a bit of solox and some street usage, ive got it down to 2 seats that will be legal for usage in the racing I want to use it in, the sparco evo 2 L or the Cobra Suzuka,

Has any one here used either of these seats for street usage as well as track? the sparco looks to have a slightly more suitable back possition for street but I would like to hear some opinions on using either of these fixed back's on the street, unfortunatly reclining is out of the question as far as the rules go.

Thanks

Wrong. :)

Fixed is NOT illegal.... you can remove your rear seats and have the car engineered/mod plated/certified (depending on what state you're in) as a 2 seater.

If the seat AND rails are ADR approved, you wont have a problem with the 5-0...

that being said, 99% of peoples car's on here would be classed as illegal.

If you want to be super legal, and have a great seat, Get a VELO seat. ADR approved, AND FIA approved. So will pass every level of scrutineering I beleve. Cheaper then the spacros/cobra's as well. They have a really nice driving position, are light, and can basically be custom made to your needs....

I stand corrected than!! I was told they were. Oh well, thanks for correcting me, and not yelling your head off at me like other people on here...

BTW, they can find something wrong with everycar. Someone did a test on a bunch of cars straight out of the yard and every one failed for little things :). The laws are bullshit!!

Problem is that im in South Africa, getting seats shipped is MEGA expencive, for me the street legal part isnt a problem, as long as its legal on the track, but yeah i use my car often so i need somthing thats not to 90deg

Guess ill have to fly up and go try a few seats...

Tis cool..... people need to have the correct info.... As for what you said, a friend of mine purchased a brand new VZ commodore SS ute for work, had it for 2 days (car wasnt touched in this time at all), and got pulled over with a bit of stuff in the back and got defected for being too low.

And they wont tell you that most police cars are defectable, as the tyres the have arent load rated for all the gear they carry in the boot, plus a few other things LOL.... (Great having a relative in the force :):):D )

Well, VELO are made here in South Australia, and I dont reckon there'd be a problem getting them sent to you. Although if you need to try a seat before hand, might be a tad hard.... Other thing is, With VELO/Sparco/MOMO/Corba/Bride/Recaro etc, the side mounted seats actually can have the mounting points adjusted so they're not on a 90 degree angle. My seat has the rear set of bolts one hole below the front ones, puts the seat on a bit of an angle. (good for head clearence too)

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
