Hey man, either the Vios or Zeta with graduation is my preference, I'm not sure what the difference is between them. It's street registered so the Maxis is over the top, I'm not sure on FRP/CF/Kevlar yet, depends on weight differences.

What were you thinking?

Edit: Just found this- vios is supposed to sit you a little lower. It does this by being recessed a little more on the bottom and having a slightly more curved back. I find this seating position more comfortable, especially for a street driven car. The vios also has smaller shoulder bolsters and the thigh supports are lower, making it a more livable seat for day to day. I have sat in a zeta too and it is also very comfortable. It is probably the seat i would choose for a more dedicated track car.

Probably go for the Vios because head clearance is a concern for me.

I cant tell the difference between the Vios and Zeta seats tbh. They look virtually the same apart from slightly wider shoulder supports. But im not fussed, Vios sounds good in graduation. Mine is also for my street car.

So was it clear if there is rails supplied or definitely not?

Ah so they do come with something. Cool. Ill probably just fabricate my own rails to suit anyway.

Do you have height issues atm in your silvia? I dont remember you being overly tall back in the days of the s13 club with Jason, chris and the guys. Lol or maybe you are and its just my memory is shot.

I will be home tomorrow I can weigh the sample seats. I do not think there will any weight difference between the F/g, carbon or kevlar, as the are all wet laid . The carbon or kevlar or just for show.

Payment needs to be cash as I have to transfer payment to o/sea supplier in China. Could do paypal, so could use payal if you pay the fees.

Seats will need to use genuine Bride railings to suit the model seat you pick. The Gias and the Cuga for example have different mounting bolts centre.

The seatings come with basic sliding rails, so unless you can make your own mounting brackets to suit they will be no use.

SAAS I think make some rails to suit so you can use the supplied rails. I will see if I can find out some more info.

If someone onlys wants a single seat, still register your interest, as I might buy the matching pair.

I've been looking at photos, and 34 gtr bucket seats don't mess with the standard seat belts. Will these ones really be an issue?

The seat belt buckle mounts on the rail, not to the side of the seat, so they will work fine. No need to use a racing harness.

I can get copy Bride or Takara 4 or 5 point racing harness's if any wants.

have you actually used a std seatbelt with a full bucket? not exactly the best combination tbh...

the seatbelt doesnt hug the body (unless your quite huge), the seatbelt just goes from one edge of the seat to the other so you not held in by the seatbelt around the waist...

and yep the buckle is mounted on the rail but using a bucket its not exactly easy to get too, its quite a way down the side unless you make up some sort of extender plate so it sits higher...

Will the belt wear away at the side of the seat if a standard belt is used? I'd love a seat like this, but with the ability to keep the back ones.

OK, looks like I'll be on the lookout for a pair when I get my car :D

Are you wanting and talking about full buckets or recliners?

Recliners will be fine with standard selt belts, but you will have issues with full buckets and standard seat belts.

Kawasaki man is referring to r34gtr seats, so recliners not full buckets, hence my reply.

I think we are all getting confussed with what he wants.

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
