hey guys, i want to get some new seats for the skyline, mianly the drivers seat. i do some track time and the standard seat is no good!

so whats the best and easiest way to go, R33GTR seats or brides or Recaros or something like that???

also i want this to be compliant to road rules etc... if i go the GTR seats do i need an engineers cert?

i need to get a cert anyway but its just one more thing to add to the complications list....

not to mention they hold you in very well... the only real upgrade from these is a full blown bucket.

i run gtr seats and i'm stuck like glue. they hug you all the way unlike most of the lower end buckets

for track use you really need a proper fixed back carbon or fibreglass shell bucket seat. any recliner is always a compromise.

velo are quite good. very cheap, and made in aus.

i've also liked cobra, mid range price and used in V8SC etc.

I've used recaro fixed back too, very nice, but stupid expensive (like $2K for a basic seat).

racetech are awesome. made in NZ, not too bad on price until you get to top of the range.

i use 34 GTR seats for street, and currently cobra fixed back with head restraints for circuit. it's only a 10 min job to swap seats.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
