Hey guys, just wondering, Where's the best place (as in, largest range) in SA to find a NEW racing seats?

I'd like to be able to sit in them b4 I buy them and I don't want no 2nd hand shit.

I wouldn't of worried about it but my car's got a sunroof and my head already touches the roof, if I put a helmet on I reckon i'll have to tilt my head. (Probably not the most comfortable position to be in whilst fanging around lala.)

Also, where's the best place to buy a helmet? (largest range)

Cheers! (I hope) :P

Just get GTR seats, they're great, a lot lower than normal skyline seats and the best thing is they are legal and they dont stand out to the boys in blue :P

Yeah?? How low we talking? That's not a bad idea!

Now Does anyone have a 32 with gtr seats and a sunroof???

Thanks every1, especially for the links!

Flick put a set of sparco sprint seats in the 32. They are adr/fia approved but you would have to re-register the car as a 2 seater if you're keeping it on the road. The seats are really comfortable but like most "race" seat they are difficult to get into. I'm thinking of getting 32 gtr seats so I don't have to worry as much but it's very tempting to leave these in as strip out the rear and make it a 2 seater.

That's why I've never had more than 1 passenger in 32 at a time. In the case of an accident, anyone in the back would basically be screwed.

so would this apply to the r33 four door sedans or are they exempt from this because there's more room in the back.?

no, they have access to the rear seats via the rear doors. So as long as they are ADR approved fixed back, they should be legal in a four door. as far as i know anyway.

well that makes me feel better so i can go and get some approved adr fixed back seats and still have the back for passengers jeez that will suck at the drive in's lol.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
