ok ppl i have a dilemna

i need to buy a pair of seats for my r34

i had bride ergo 2 in black leather and i loved them, however i have sold them now to get fixed backs and they need to be FIA approved for drag and circuit work.

i have a set of sparco evo's at home which are nice but id prefer to keep them for another project im starting soon.

thanks guys

Depends on whether you are a big guy or not, the Sparco will fit a larger frame where as the Zeta III is pretty damn tight. I'm a fairly slim guy and even I found the Zeta III to be borderline to tight. Best bet would be to try and have a sit in both and see for yourself what you think.

Lol 30-32 depending on the jeans.

This is when it was fitted in my car for a while because my mates car was off the road so he let me borrow it. Don't get me wrong it transforms the way you drive, you are so snug in it you feel every little thing the car does. It's just bloody tight and made for a small frame.

Get the BRIDEs cos its a street car. My mate has an OMP seat similar to the SPARCO in his drift car, and before it was derego'd it was a flamin mongrel to drive on the road cos you couldnt see a damn thing out the side. Its perfect now its a dedicated race car, but for the road its crap.

i dont really care about the adr approval as long as it is fia approved is all that matters to me.

those velo seats look terrible .... they wont do for my car.

joeyjoejoe...im not that big in the waist size 33ish but i have huge shoulders so i dont mind if the bottom of the seat is tight as long as the shoulder section flares out a fair bit

my ergo 2's were the perfect seat i actually regret selling them but they r not fia approved :bunny:

the podium actually looks really good in person... and they are comfy as fuck.... i'm just trying not to spend the extra $400 as that's the money for the rails lol

if youn are a 33" waist you wont have any troubles with the brides.... i can fit in them (not comfortably) and i wear a 38"

if you wanna go to access auto's in vermont they have around 6 types of brides on display :D

I had the standard size Zeta III and I've got a 33.5-34" waist. It was snug, but I daily drove it for a while just fine. I couldn't wear bulky clothes, so if you are a wannabe rapper and wear pants that are too big for you, you won't fit. But if you wear normal clothes, you should be fine with the L size Zeta.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
