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...

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.

      Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.

      You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
