Here is the comparison between the outgoing R35.1 and the new R35.2 seats(I presume this will be called Series II officially) - side bolsters on the Recaro's are clearly larger.

PS: apparently in the UK they will also be getting the so called Black edition as an only variant available, and they will have an option to select these Recaro's as a no-cost option, or they can stick with the normal updated seats that actually have the suede inserts.

Let's wait and see what Nissan Aust decides to bring here.

They look great.

But at 30kg each, the first thing you do if you are serious about lap times is ditch them.

I completely agree - they are still mega bulky and mega heavy. What the GT-R should come with is something like a GT3's seats, carbonfibre backed ones, or something like what RX-7 RZ had too. Maybe they'll offer SpecV's seats as an option, but I'm sure a great pair of aftermarket seats would still be a value for money.

It's slightly disappointing when cars like a little Renault RS250 Cup have more appealing seats then the GT-R.

i always wanted to put tan sparco milano's in my 350 back in the day, but was put off by the need to get them engineered, losing side airbags, and insurance issues

race seats are good for race cars

the oem gtr seats are good enough for a daily driver

had vaders on my R32 Golf and they were overkill for the street, too hard to get in and out of without crushing the crap out of the bolster

the specv has the gt3 style seat since its a gt3 style car. the stock gtr has a normal sport seat like a stock 911, and i (and the gf) enjoyed the seat heating through winter :D

      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!

      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.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
