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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
