Hi guys, have myself a couple of fixed back seats as per the title. I have side rails for them too. They can be mounted underneath and from the side.

So I am looking for a couple of Bride rails to suit. I'd like to maintain the ability to slide them back and forth since I am not the only one who drives. I've seen the Bride MO rails which look like they could be the go. Also seen the IG rails which looks the goods also but perhaps only lock on one side.

Anyone had any experience with this and know which rail is the best fit and why?

Cheers,

side mount using the sparco alloy brackets and then the bride rails to suit, I did have to drill new holes in the sparco bracket to meet the bride rail.

there are quite a few bride rails from what I can remember... and Im fairly sure I used the LF type... but I can check when I get home and have a look, Im sure it has a model sticker on them somewhere hopefully I dont have to pull it out to find out for you....

Awesome thanks mate. Yeah don't pull your seat out or anything... But if you manage to find out what model it is that would really help. I have the sparco alloy side mounts as well.

Do the ones you have lock in on both sides of the rail? Ie is it pretty solid when you move and then lock the seat in?

If you get a chance would be great to see a close up photo ( but only I it's easy for you )

Cheers

oh they are very solid, better than std

Yeah I can take some photos... be careful when mounting the seat, Ive mounted two sparco 2000 drivers seats now and the shoulder part of the seat sits very close to the door trim, and really consider using a full harness as the seat belt over the shoulder sits higher than normal (due to the seat) and can be a tad annoying, it'll be fine when you go harness though...

You're a good man! Thanks for taking the time to do that. From the pictures it looks to me like its an Type-RX ?

Cheers for that - I'll look for some of those or the MO's as I think they should work too.

Yeah if you happen to find the cert -would be interesting to know.

Thanks mate.

haha! Bloody hell I hadn't even seen an SL-type.. so that's another one!

Have a look at this pic of the RX. Note on the right hand side (as you look at in the photo) it has that angled bracket similar to the one in your photo.

PLus it has the sort of 'twin' flat bar at the front like yours.

Bride RX type rail

I tell you what when I DO get one of these suckers I am going to do a thread on it.

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.

      Great discussion guys. I just have coil overs in my car right now. Ride is pretty stiff and everything feels very precise and accurate when hitting the corners. I started off with a high level and kept specimen.   the only item I feel I might need to adjust is my camber with control arms or a kit as I might want to tuck in my rims more so there is no rubbing. Otherwise I have not thought too much into it as quite happy with the setup. I think the bushings are all good still.    My motor is currently out now but I have got a nismo front strut bar to install. So that should help with body roll in front.    added a photo of what I started with before the modding or let’s say modernization of parts started. 😂

      Thank you both, much appreciated. Yes, 6k miles, not a typo lol. The underside, engine bay, engine, trunk, interior, etc., look great and super clean, has all the splash guards too. Not sure if you can expand the photos, but the dash pic shows the ODO. She looks brand new, inside and out, even has the original Nissan TV/DVD/Nav head unit; still thinks it's in Tokyo haha! I used to own a '94 MKIV Supra, sadly sold it years ago, but wow I love the Skyline so much! The R34 gets SO much attention here since they just became legal to import last year.
