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.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
