hey all,

I have a 180sx and im looking to upgrade my front seats, to either R33 or R32 GTR seats. As they are a good cheap option.

My question is,

Ive owned a R33 GTR before and i did like the seats but i remember them being quite big and they may look to big and out of place in the small 180sx.

Are the R32 GTR seats smaller? As the 32s as a car are smaller then the 33s?

so yer demensions wise are they shorter? Not as fat etc?

And which seat sits lower 33 or 32??

Thanks guys

Hey mate,

The R32 and R33 GTR front seats are very similar if not identical in size. However, the R33 GTR ones are better looking, contain better material and sit a bit lower than the R32 ones.

A lot of people put R33 GTST seats into their 180sx's ...I suggest you do this too as it's a fair cheaper option plus they're a bit less bulky-looking.

Good luck.

i might be getting rid of my 33r ones soon for brides....

if its a motorsport car gtr seats really dont cut it...

Yes and no. GTR seats will be fine for motorsport purposes. However, because they are comfortable, they are not as 'hugging' or tight as recaro's, Sparco's or Bride's.

Personally, I think R33 GTR seats are the best...great value for your buck, looks great, comfortable and is so grippy.

ever tried track drifting in a gtr seat? i end up with a sore back from using my muscles so much to keep from sliding around the seat

Thanks for the replies...

How much would you be asking for your GTR seats??

Haha well my 'Bum size' is skinny so 32s wouldnt be a prob..

My only thing was i just need lower the better as at 6'3 my head will touch the 180s roof

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
