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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
