Hi All,

Looking for places in Adelaide that can make up a new set of seat rails for a 33gtst, wanting to fit GTR seats, dump the driver seat as low as possible and move it back an extra 100mm or so, work will need to be certified to ADR.

Any recommendations welcomed, just looking for someone to provide a cost estimate for the moment

Cheers :D

hi mate

Im 2m tall and modified my seat rail

cut extra notches in the rail and welded where needed

made an inch longer

after a few years I bought a 200$ seat rail off ebay, that lowers the seat heaps and moves it right right back, heaps more adjustment

adr approved as well, from Flynn performance I think. Just jap also sell them

I need some too, tired of my head on the roof and seat not back far enough...lol

great car if your under 6ft

had to get a sunroof model didnt I... bad idea..lol

plus Im tired of playing the ADR rules game on seats and rails, can you ? or cant you ? get after market seats and use non factory rails, the GTT seats blow and GTR ones cost a arm and leg

Ive been to every shop in town and get 4 answers, heard a engineer guy in lonsdale can certify the mods, for a cost...$$$ like everything

posted in the seats part of this forum and got no answers as well, so might ask locals..lol

Yeah theres not much on the forums when it comes to tall driver seat mods, figured the only way to find out will be to go visit some fabricators. I was looking at a 33 GTR on the weekend and tbh the seats aren't really that much lower at all, however they are nicer to sit in. Same problem with knees knocking the wheel and leg pressed hard in to the window controls.

I was in Autobarn at Gilles Plains on the weekend and it was mentioned they had "a guy" that makes up custom rails for their after market seats and certifies them for $4-500, rather not go through a man in the middle if it can be avoided.

Next problem will be once the seat is moved back the wheel will probably be too far away :D

Does the government maintain a list of workshops that are allowed to do ADR work maybe?

EDIT:

Just found this site, http://www.rtsengineering.com.au/sle.html will have to give them a call or try and head down at some point.

Rory just finished with my mates 31, fully engineered with 25det and coilovers + more. did a great job, recommended.

lol damn tall people, im on the other end of the scale being short and buying mine off a tall guy leaving me having to put it on the max forward position to reach the pedals.

    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
