Racing Seats And Helmets

[Fabs_32]

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)

as for helmets.........in a car, $50 (open face) at Hyperformance Cycles............on a bike, consider spending up to 10 times that amount

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

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.

[CRoNic...]

Why would you have to register the car as a 2 seater if you installed after-market bucket seats which are ADR approved?!

[Damo_R34]

they are fixed back, so its almost impossible to get into the back seat.

Have 2 brand new buddy club seats for sale. One large in black and one medium in red. Selling well well below retail. PM me if your interested.

Thanks,Ryan

[CRoNic...]

Oooohhhh yep. That makes sense.

[Chris#3]

they are fixed back, so its almost impossible to get into the back seat.

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.?

[Damo_R34]

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.

[Madaz]

Yeah i would agree with Damo

[R334door(s2)]

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.

[Luke_ENR34]

u can also get after market seats engineered if u like.

[Luke_ENR34]

we shall see when i get some shit engineered later on.
