Hey guys.. just wondering what bucket seats you've got in your R34 GTT?

Has anyone had any experience with the justjap seats here?

Also what rails did you get for your GTT? I've seen some on ebay which say they're for 32/33/34 gts-t/gtt ... but I've always through the 34 gtt was different to the rest of the series?

i've heard that genuine bride rails would fit just jap seats by drilling 2 holes into the rails..

other alternative is look out for used recaros or brides with rails on them that bolt straight into the r34 less hassle?

I'd like to test-sit in some brides if anyone in Perth has some... I hear they are for skinny/malnutritioned people only. I'm a little wide-of-girth... So I'm not sure if I'll buy brides myself, or not..

I've been told Recaro's are wider, is this true??

Chris, you ended up with bride rails too? Thought you were getting your hands on those "generic" rails that thuy had for you?

not buckets but i put r32 gtr seats with rails into my gtt. 3/4 holes lines up. the rear bracket closest to the door needs to unpicked moved slightly angled and rewelded. fits like a charm. havent had any problems so far. and they pretty much blend in with the r34 interior colour

Got any pictures? I was thinking of putting some new seats in my R34, not sure if i'll go R32 GTR, R34 GTR or Some East Bear R34 GTR Copies.

I've been looking at the 34 east bear seats for my 32 as theyre about half the price of the cheapest brides :D othgerwise if i splash out ill end up getting BRIX II

Thuy ended up finding some second hand bride rails. I am not sure of the rail model, but they are a perfect fit.

I can probably put some pics up for the seats installed, might be able to get some rail pics too if I have the time :)

Yeah ^^

What'd you do about rails?

How much that set you back roughly bud? Pics?

You can buy R34 GTT rails for bride seats from Autobahn and other places. J-imports get them too, both Bride and generic from Japan but being in SA you might need to pay for double handling - extra postage cost, which may negate any savings.

I reckon they were about 1700 including all rails and shipping. Basically worked out to be rails for free. Can't remember exact amounts as it's all been payed for with other parts and in cash.

That's a negative on 34 rails from autobarn...32/33 only i'm afraid...

Oh damn... my mistake.

For a car that's been around for 10 years, they sure make it hard to find certain stuff compared with the other models. I bet those with V35's really struggle.

Hey guys,

I had been looking at bride rails on ebay.. and this guy advertised that he's got rails to suit r32/r33/r34 gts-t/gtt. When I asked him if the r34 gtt rails were different to the r32/r33s.. he replied

Hi,

Sorry for delay,

These rails suit the R34 GTT not the GTR's.

Thanks

I always thought 32/33 rails are different to 34's.... if so is he wrong in assuming they'd fit a 34?

Cheers

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
