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. :D 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... :D

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

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?!

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
