Bride Copy Seat In 32 Gtr

[xtermin8or]

Hi all ,

Saw a guy had a bride replica seat at the Dyno day that just passed in his red M3 and it looked really good , so im considering getting it soon.

http://www.justjap.c...&cat=282&page=1

Has anyone tried fitting one of these in theyre 32 / what sort of modifications am I looking at doing / is there any welding to be done??

I phoned justjap and they said even if i get the skyline rail i will still need to modify it to fit the actual seat.. so ill just use the rail alredy on the car.

If anyone can help me put it in , i will buy you allot of beer

Thanks

John

I've got a similar one in my R34.

All I had to do was to get a Recaro rail (thanks to JDMPWR), it bolted straight onto the seat and since the rails was made for R34, it bolted straight onto my car.

No problems at all

Those universal rails that comes with aftermarket seats will never fit your car without any mods.

But to be honest, these seats are awesome, hugs the shit outta you around corners, but if your car was a daily, I'd reconsider lol and think about Recaros instead....

It's SOOOOO bad to get in and out of, especially you don't wanna just flop onto the seat everytime you get in and out as you try to avoid the bolster tears lol

[Charles89]

Oh and to be precise, those are Recaro SR3 rails to suit R34.

As the SR3's mounting holes are in the exact same position as the Bride style.

They can be found 2nd hand for anywhere between $50-200 lol

looks like it'll give you a wedgie everytime you got in without paying attention.

[Charles89]

Even a skinny person like me, I have to support myself by pushing up against the door jam to get in and out. And it sucks when I park in a very tight carpark with a car next to me

But when I'm turning corners in it, it is AWESOME, I don't even sway one bit lol

Is your seat from holford Motors or jj charlie?

[xtermin8or]

Damn they look so good man! Thanks allot for the info , ill look into getting those rails for my 32.

Would 34 rails have the same bolt patter to go on a 32 floor??

just buy a cheap generic low mount rail and drill the holes to suit. heaps cheaper than buying a genuine rail

Bought it from a dude in Frankston, brand new lol. It owns the Drift Blades

It's heaps awesome man, for the price you pay and the comfort you get, unbeatable. If you are around my area, you are more than welcome to come see it in real life and have a sit in it lol.

And no, R34s have different rails to R32,R33s.

It's not just as easy as drilling a few holes...

Those universial rails won't bolt onto the car properly without mods, let alone bolting onto the seat. And you wouldn't wanna be modding the rails, as things could go bad during an accident.

And drilling holes in universial rails to fit the seat might not work, as the rail's mounting brackets might be too far or too close apart, which won't line up with the seat.

The amount you spend on a cheap unversial rail ($50-100) and the time you spend on modding and the risk you take on modding, I'd rather pay extra $50-100 to get proper rails.

Having said that, having a replica seat can also be a risk during an accident lol

[pistol-pete]

the only difference between a universal rail and say a r34 specific one is the shape of the mounting plates essentially.

i dont see how drilling your own holes is any different to using the existing ones. its still a thick bit of steel bolted to the floor no matter how you do it.

[Charles89]

Well depending on the universial rails I guess, but I think some of the times, you will find that the mounting brackets are sitting so far from the mounting holes that you will need to modify the bracket, eg cutting and rewelding or welding an extra bit of metal wit hole to line up with the car.

[pistol-pete]

i guess. cant say ive ever come across that before though

[Charles89]

Maybe coz R33 and R34 have different mounting holes lol

[ssxRicho]

lol there is no way in hell that the universal 'rail' (which is in-fact just a sliding mechanism, no base) will fit into a skyline without some welding.

John the jjr rail will work, you may need to drill your own holes in the jjr rail to mount to seat to, that is it. But they mount the seat pretty high.

And you can't use the rail that is already on the car, as you will need to re-weld/cut/hack it up to mount it to the bride style seat.

The ///M runs one of these (to fit e36), I run one in my car as well.

Attach the slider that comes with the seat onto that base, nice a low. easy.

Buy the seat and then buy the genuine bride rail for that seat and it will fit in the r32 no worries. Ive had both the copy and genuine brides run on the same rail in my r32 gtr gtst and r33 gtst no worries. This was with the bride gias seat similar to what you have...No cutting or welding requried.

[xtermin8or]

Wow man thanks ,will buy that rail tonight, seat aswell maybe and I got the Takata harness on the way!! Happy times!

My advice is simple, make sure you have Asian hips because my hips (no, not ass) did not fit in Bride seats.

[ghostflameR33]

Lol adz is not wrong there, but its good incentive to lose a few kilos

[Charles89]

Man, my asian hips struggles a little to fit in it and I weigh 55kg lol

They are heaps tight

Also, instead of getting from JustJap. Hollford Motors (think that's what it's called) in Melb sells the same seat but with bride logo on it lol
