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.

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
