I have recaros in my stagea which were R33 GTR skyline. I know because the recaro boxes actually had 33gtr skyline stamped on.

Im short and whilst they are lower I have no problem in seeing over the bonnett. might be different with stock GTR seat but I would have thought they will be fine

I'm soon to have a set in my car, Darrin. They're from an R32 and are being re-upholstered at the moment.

Either way, I have the factory seats set to the lowest setting now, and I'm around 5'10" tall.

You do sit lower, but its a comfortable low, and no problems seeing over the dash at all.

Thanks for the reply's. I use to have Garage Impul seats seats in mine with skyline rails and they were lower approx 30-40mm than stock seats. I am 5' 10" as well

I have a spare set of stagea Bride rails, so tosing up between using them with new bride seats, either Euro II or Digo graduation cloth and retrimming the rears and doors to suit, or I also have a spare series 2 manual rear seat and door trims which are almost identical to R33 GTR cloth. Using GTR seats will be alot cheaper option, but the Brides will look good :D

Was also looking at buying s/hand recaro's and retrimming them, but the trimmer wants aprrox $1000 just for the fronts. Might as well buy new ones.

Nick, what is it costing to get the gtr seats done? What sort of cloth?

That's pretty much what I did with mine.

Here's a pic so you can see how the seats and trim go nicely together.

I have 33GTR seats in the 32, if i keep the stagea they might go into it and buckets in the 32, or more gtr seats, they are sooooooooo comfy. stagea ones i dont find supportive enough in the lower back, so the harder GTR seats are great. i am 6'2", and my shoulders are getting on the high side for the GTR seats though.

The rough quote so far is $1400 for all cloth, or $2400 for all leather, so I'm guessing that the final cost will be somewhere in the middle, as I'm going half-and-half. That, though, is for the whole interior: front and rear seats plus door trims. I picked the colours and materials the other night, so it's not too far off, hopefully.

I've got the R32 GT-R rear seats still, so I really should advertise that, and after the rest is sorted, I'll have a pair of Stagea front seats to get rid of too.

I want to know HOW much lower do you sit with GTR seats

Hard to see over the bonnet?

Hi Darrin,i don`t have GTR seat`s but 32GTST seat`s & you sit some 90 mm lower & it`s a lot different looking over Bonnet but it`s so much more comfortable as you now feel apart of the car instead of sitting on the Couch,post-36964-1245453736_thumb.jpgpost-36964-1245453822_thumb.jpg

cheer`s chuckie.

What rails are you blokes using?

Pretty intererested in swapping my seats for ones that acutally hold you in. Are you able to use your existing rails to suit GTR seats?

Edit: After using the search function, I found the answer I was looking for :rofl:

Hmmm, I already have the standard Stagea seats set at the lowest point at the back and a little bit higher at the front to provide some under-thigh support, so I wonder what the new seats will be like.

I (finally) got my recaros fitted the other day: it took custom sandwich plates between the seats and the Bride rails: perfect seating height: maybe 10cm lower than standard: very happy: haven't even bothered with a quote on full retrim yet: I am waiting to get my manual console first...

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
