Hey guys, just wondering what seats you are all using?

I've been looking around just out of interest and these Bride Ergo II's stand out, being affordable and still looking decent. Anyone got them or have experience with Bride seats or any other seats for that matter? I know stock seats do the job and i probably wouldnt change my seats but it's always nice to dream ;)

(I know it's ebay but its a good example)

Cheers all

Have an Bride Ergo 1.5,

Very comfy, very firm hold and looks great.

It is also for sale now in the For Sale section smile.gif

May i ask why you're selling? :(

The Ergo leather is real nice...

May i ask what car does it goes into?

If you're referring to me when you're asking what car it goes into the answer is none, yet :( I'm just asking around and trying to find out information. That's what a forum is for, yeah? :(

nah, stock gtst seats are not up to the job.... :(

im running 33 gtr seats in my gtst and that's the minimum i could use now :(

comfy enough for a daily, and hold me in well enough for minor track work

I have been running the Bride Ergo II's in our Project Car for about a year now and they are an awesome seat for a daily that sees some track time. The recline feature is good for getting into the back seat. I do have a bit of wear on the seat from jeans with metal clips but that is to be expected. If you are serious about racing I would probably advise against a reclinable because it provides a weak point when in a crash. And I can't recommend enough how important it is to stay away form knock-off's when it comes to safety.

that's very true about the safety side of things. what sorta price are you chasing for a pair of ergo II's? Perth delivery.

cheers

a question about full fixed back bucket seats.

i have an ergo atm but want to go to a fixed back bucket, will the fixed back effect my standard seatbelt holding me into the seat??? like will the seatbelt just hang over the seat coz the seat is "deep" and not support my body??? cheers

I'd image you'd have to get a harness setup if you were to get a full bucket seat because they are more racing orientated? Anyone confirm that?

I'm running a full bucket (sparco evo 2) and it is the most comfy seat I have ever used.

The standard seat belt isnt an issue, it works fine. I will upgrade to a harness when the cage goes in but for the moment I am more than happy.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
