Bride + low mount rail = epic win.

I look like a little kid sitting in my car with a Bride Brix (recliner) and superlow rail in there, but theres so much head room even with a helmet on. Also, being a drift orientated seat, they are designed to hold you in place during crazy transitions, nothing short of rolling the car will see you move in the seat (my leg didn't even hit the trans tunnel when I crashed, and I was doing at least 50 kays backwards when I hit :))

Only bad thing about my Bride is it's a right pain in the arse to get in and out of, the side bolsters are so goddam high :P

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

Face face might be better in the event of a crash, but if you're tight for $, then an open face will do for now.

Peter Stevens in the city have a huge range of lids.

If you're after a race seat, will you also need a harness?

Nah, coz I only want to get a racing seat just for the fact that i'll able to mount it lower and give me a bit more head room.

But I was just thinking, Does anyone know if it's possible to put 34gtr seats in a 32? Spose i'd have to get different rails....

I got a pair of brand new Velo's for my car. They're on Jacobson Crst. Holden hill. They have every seat they make available for testing in the showroom.

They're also ADR approved, my car went through regency with them without a problem. They also do ADR approved harnesses.

Not sure on retail. The guys there are good mates. If you tell Adrian that Kevin sent you, he might look after you, or charge you more for knowing a knob like me :(

And cheers, I need someone to buy it though :(

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
