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

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

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

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 :P

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

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.

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.

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.

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

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
