the main way to tell genuine or not is where the adjuster knob is, on replicas its straight and on genuine the knob is actually recessed a little into the seat.and the metal part isnt straight its bent to suit.

I have asked the supplier and they said they are their photo's and they have the engraved name on the side.

I also just went and checked out some Gias and Cuga replica's here in Brisbane. The Cuga had the engraved name, the Gias did not

Not sure which supplier they came from thuo.

The proof will be in the samples I have ordered. The ones I looked at today were VERY good.

I think the Cuga will be better for daily driving over the Gias.

Can order any backing, FRP, carbon or Kevlar or glitter

i am way keen,

send me a pm of the finer details

The samples arrived today via EMS freight ($600) and all I can say is the quality and finish is VERY VERY good. Gias 2 is complete with all logos and stickers, engraved name up side etc.

Cuga has engraved logo up the side. All stiching is perfect and straight etc. I can not fault them.

I will post detailed photo's tomorrow night with NEW CHEAPER pricing, mainly the freight cost. May start a new thread as I can not edit the first post. Stay tuned.

Also, can these seats be used with the stock seat belts, or do they need a harness? If they need a harness do the rear seats need to be removed and is a mod plate necessary?

You can use the standard seatbelt.

yeah you can but its not as nice as using a harness and you have to do a good mounting position, take care to avoid the seat belt guide as best as possible if your in a series 2, and reaching for the buckle can be annoying, if its not an everyday car then its fine...

I realise it's not as nice, but I want to retain the back seats. I don't have the car yet, but I'm going for an R34. By series 2 do you mean R33? Is there a way to have a harness and keep the back seats?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      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
