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...

photos as promised...

but sorry I couldnt find any marking to say which model it is... I do have a certificate of authenticity around somewhere, I'll see if I come across it...

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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
