as topic says. ive found my self a set of leather seats im semi keen for. just need to no if they have the wires for the electroniuc seats.

im pretty keen on doing that to mine too :) now to just find a wrecked auto with leather!

I have put these seats into 2 different 260's. Both had the seat wiring and relay (drivers side, above right foot) but both needed the fuse put in to make the seats work. Can't remember where the fuse was ie engine bay or interior fuse box, but it's pretty easy to work out. It MAY have even been labeled in English.

Im not too sure, but I would expect an accessory such as heated/electric seats to have a relay in any car.

Yes do have a relay to control the heating elements in the seats. The heating element/s turn off automatically once they get to temperature (and so that they do not use too much battery power) even if you leave them switched on the two position switch near the centre console/armrest (2 heat levels).

I leave mine on all the time in winter....Melbourne weather.

its goin in an autech tho... so i dont have the switches. do all leather seats have the heating elements in them? i no its a stupid questionm coz ive seen like 3 with them...

All the factory leather seats that I have seen Series 1 and Series 2 have the heated seats also including mine.

Mine is a factory 'cold region' car so has the factory leather/heated seats, heated front windshield, single fog light on rear tailgate etc.

ud have a switch for the heaters im guessing? do yours have 1 plug going into the seat? or one for the heater and 1 for the movement ofthe chair? see my other post if u wouldnt mind :blink:

ahh nope! My s1 seats are electric only

yeah mine too....still no heaters on s1.

Don't you feel ripped off. Electric only?

I don't know what I would do without the heated seats on those cold Winter mornings.

So Series 1 only got leather electric seats, no heaters built in??

Yes I have a seperate heater switch for each seat (each switch has low/high off position). 2 switches mounted just behind auto shifter on vertical centre armrest console.

My snow Auto switch is also mounted there along with 2 other blanks for future switches. I have seen some Stagea also have power outlets mounted there (Prime editions?).

I will reply in other post about plugs.

so i put my seats in today... looks really good :iluvff:

but the only drama is my seat wiring isnt working.... i spoke to the previous owner who said the motors worked b4 hand.

ive tryed swapping the power seat/sunroof fuse (weird that an autech would have 1 in that spot :S) i put one in the sunroof spot (maybe they work together... no luck. i then checked all the fuses in the car and they were fine, and then i put a 20 amp fuse in each spot that was empty in the car and still no love!

am i running a constant power threw to them!? lol....

Hey Chef,

I'd recommend putting an inline fuse if your running to direct power, just to be safe.

Im running 10amp fuses for each the electric seats and from memory a 5amp for each for the heating element.

Connecting the multimeter i was quite surprised the heating element only had around 2amp power draw and produced so much heat. The electric seat part pull about 8amps.

I see rs4stagman mentioned the high/low/off on the standard switch, personally im glad of this as i've got a console on the way with these switches.

Currently mine are simply switched on or off and i get full heat which is a little hot for my rear end. They do the auto switch off/on thing to regulate the heat about every 5mins, this must be built into the heating element in the seat.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
