R34 Front Seat Rails - Same As Other Skylines Or Nissans?

I'm pretty sure they are all slightly different. Why do you ask? 9 mins after you sign up :D . Welcome to Skylines Australia mate.

Yeah, the question was the reason I joined.

Reason I ask is because the R34 front seats and seat rails are a very easy fit into some older Falcons (exact same width, just cut and weld the end mounts) - looking for a replacment set of seats for the front of my supercharged EF XR6 - the Skyline seats would be cheap to buy, sporty type seat while still matching the factory interior somewhat, and they're thinner and lower than the factory Falcon seats meaning more interior space.

It would be easier to find a pair with the rails if the older Skylines and other Nissans etc. were the same as they'd be more options.

Yeh, I though so :D . Nah, I'm pretty sure they are all slightly different, but can be modified slightly to fit. And while your here, why not convert to the dark side of Jap Imports? :O

I'd have a Skyline in a second if they came in wagons, could tow my boat, fit 5 people (adults) in it (comfortably for a 200km trip) and a bootful of what nots. There's no doubting it that they're good cars, good bang for buck. But the Falcon just has the practicality at the moment.

Here is a link to a comprehensive seat compatibility thread between silvias/skylines/cefiros...

Although it claims the R34 rails are 100% compatible, i have noticed that bride list the r34 rails with a different part number so i wouldn't count on it.

Cheers for that Howie. Even if there is some difference, that kind of indicates that R32/3/4 are all very similiair, which is fine since I had to do some choping and welding on the rails already to fit them into the Falcoon.

I guess my next question is what is the differences like between the front seats of the R32/3/4? I.e. in styling and comfort? Is there variences between the different models to (i.e. GTR and GTS?)? Just wondering if there's 1 in particular that I should look for. The actual patern and material is of no concern to me as I've got to recover them to match the back seats anyhow.

That site also indicates that Silvia seats are also very similiar in the seat rails. Any idea what these are like compared to the Skyline seats?

Thanks for the info so far guys.

P.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Stagea - doesn't look bad. I bet they're a lot harder to find than my Coon and prolly a lot dearer too!

Slightly, however you get money back for the Stag! And I've worked on many, many, many, many falcons, and my skyline. Skylines don't piss oil :thumbsup:

Personally I've sat in an R33, R34 and S13. I'd say the R34 is the most comfortable.

These are out of an R32 GTR:

No good to me as I specifically want removable headrests - hence why I'm looking at factory seats as it's hard to find aftermarket sports seats with removable headrests.

They look good - nice big side peices.

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

      They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)
