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??

Bride Euro II's. Bride rails. Love em.

Bought it all from the guy in my sig.

+1 for the BRIDE Euro II's! I got them too...lovin them also!

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.

Thanks for the reply bud! I'll definately keep that in mind.

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

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
