R32 Gtr Comfortable Seat

[nuclear_skyline]

Evening!

I drive a lot... By a lot I mean somewhere in the region of 1500km/week... I am about 6 foot tall and weigh 100kg. Quite big shoulders and have to admit the waist could lose an inch or two

I am finding the standard GTR seat really uncomfortable on long trips. There are steel bars running up the side of the bolster at the very top that I didnt notice, and still dont, when going on short trips. These stick into my ribs after a while and I find myself shifting around on the seat after about hour number 2 on the road.

I am on the lookout for a set of comfortable ADR approved recliners for the front. Budget is not my biggest concern here, mostly that I can engineer them and that they are good quality as they'll get a crap load of use by my fat ass. I would still like them to hold me relatively snug and suit the car. I am keeping the standard seats so I can easily drop them in if I go to a track day or motorkhana...

Can anyone make a suggestion. I know the Bride seats are quite tight and thin... Anyone know if VELO make a recliner???

Cheers guys.

p.s. I know that I am putting a lot of Kms on the car, but i maintain them fastidiously and have the budget there for the ennevitable engine rebuilt/turbo replacement...

thought about R33 gtst seats? much wider in the back area and are adjustable for lumbar/squeeze from teh side bolsters - super cheap

only down side is they are about 25mm higher than 32 GTR seats so if head room is already a concern these wont be for you

Agreed, go the GTST seats and hell, because im such a nice guy, i'll swap you mine for yours

R34 GTR stock seats?

[nuclear_skyline]

Yeah they'd be awesome... Are they much wider? Getting hands on them for a realistic price would be interesting - know what they're worth?

[PM-R33]

Seen them anywhere from $1500-$2500 depending on condition.

But you can get copies for a lot cheaper, i've been eyeing these off:

Cheers for that... I have been trolling around and am unsure if the ones on ebay would be supple enough under the arse... Have sent an email through to a VELO distributor to see what they have...

Yeah R34 seats are awesome, the East Bear copies are just as good and come in black (which is better as it was only the v spec2's that had the black seats)

What about a Bride? RHDjapan have them on sale and some of them look ok?!
