Hey there, I'm interested in getting myself a Velo GP90 bucket seat.

My question is, what exactly is needed to fit the GP90 into a r33 gtst? I rang up MMSport and they quoted me $1300 for the GP90, alloy side-mounts, custom brackets and sliders; this seems like a hefty price considering the seat itself costs $649.

I asked if the standard rails can be used in combination with the alloy side-mounts however they said that the seat would be way too high, could I just buy some low bride rails and whack on the alloy side-mounts or is it not that easy?

Any help will be much appreciated!

buy a drift base from autobarnz (do these bolt on now? or are they still a little dicky? S13 base also works) and some velo side mounts. $150 for the base and whatever you

want to pay for the side mounts....

You can get steel side mounts instead of alloy.

Think they're around $100 cheaper...

Only thing is they weigh a whole 1kg more which, unless you're involved in highly competitive motorsport, is sweet FA

Depends how much headroom you've got left, it can end up a fair distance off the floor.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
