Depends if they are ADR approved. Depends on the type, headchecks would be harder to perform and they are stiffer and less comfortable whist providing maximum hold and grip for your body.

So if they are ADR approved i can put one in my car with no hassles ?

Not quite. Some are legal, some arent.

In a 2 door car, you cant have fixed bucket seats if you have rear seats. Harnesses are illegal altogether.

As for head checks, depends on your car. One of my mates have Autotecnica seats in his GT4 race car, pretty much a fixed back version of the R34 GTR seats. Head checks are pretty easy in it. Another of my mates has a OMP fixed back racing seat in his drift car, like the V8 Super Cars have, and no way in hell can you do a head check in that thing. Driving it on the street was an absolute prick. He now takes it to the track on a car trailer.

Try out your seats before you buy them and make sure you have do head checks easily.

In NSW you must be able to access the rear seats from either side of the car.

So if you have fixed back buckets in a 2 door, you need to strip the rear seats and register as a 2 seater as well as engineer the seats.

EDIT: sorry, just saw your in Vic

is this actually for track??

if it's just for street... can't you think of a better way to de-value your car? like pouring brake fluid on the paint maybe?

fix back racing seats.... INdeed..

What (If any) racing seats are reclinable AND ADR approved, so that they can legally be fitted into a coupe for street use. I can only seem to find one of the other.

:)

i dont get what you're winking at..

what i was saying was.. is it ACTUALLY just for street or are you going to take it to a skidpan once a year.

just sayin. fixback bucket seats would be shit house for street use. who the hell would want that in a street car daily commuter?

then when comes time to sell you get every un-educated boogerface telling you that they think your car is "too modded" to sell

shit was so cash.

lol silly boy. I'm winking because you are talking about fixed back seats like the OP (from January) was talking about. The dude that I qouted that bumped this thread is talking about reclinable seats and what ones are ADR approved.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
