Why bother? GT-R seats are similarly looking and bolt straight in.

ugh why does everyone question what someone else wants to do! wrx seats are nice as and there different.

If everyone did the same thing the world would be boring.

Why bother? GT-R seats are similarly looking and bolt straight in.

Because in NZ, WRX seats can be picked up for $150ish where as GTR seats are $600+

and no-one can deny that WRX seats are f**kin comfy lol

Sweet cheers, wouldn't be able to find out if they're on the factory Skyline rails modified or custom or even the WRX ones been modified?

Would be much appreciated :D

Cheers

R31 rails are great and can be universally fitted to a lot of seats, we fitted a Recaro to my brother's R31 stock rail too.

Unfortunately the R32 rails are a lot more complicated so there's a rare chance they'll just bolt straight on to the stock R32 rail.

it will be a fair bit of work to fit. like mentioned above the floor mounting points are not all level so there are different levels of height needed to get the seal to ultimately mount flat. plus the rear inner mounts are on the tunner not on the floor.... it's a fairly unique style of mounting. sure the seats may only cost $150 but the cost of having a competent mechanic or engineer weld up the appropriate adapters and mounts to make the seats mount safely will be probably $300 or more per seat. with that in mind suddenly $600 for 32 GTR seats looks like good value. they bolt straight in and mount as per factory so are perfectly safe and legal. 33 GTR seats do too and so do 34 GTR seats and they are really nice. yes they cost but they are all miles better than WRX seats and will take 10 mins to fit, require no custom work and be 100% safe.

gota agree with beer baron about the quality,

i had wrx seats in my old sss and now owning a gtr, u cannot compare the two, GTR seats are soo much more supportive. Then i went to r34 GTR seats and they would have to be in my opinion one of the best factory seats that u can get.

and as people have said before they will bolt straight on taking only 10 minutes

What ever happend to thid, did you fit wrx seats in the car?

My self is looking to fit evo (possibly wrx) seats as they are so nice! I just don't know if they fold good enough (or at all) so people can get in the back seat.

The gtr33 seats are okay, the gtr34 seats were kinda to small for me, or at least for my legs (84kg and 187cm with long legs).

Would really like to know if you got this to work and how.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
