anyone have pics of actual seats they recieved?

would love to see the quality and hear first hand impressions...

Only 32_Dave has received his 2 pairs.

The photos in the first post of the Cuga and Gias II are the actually seats I bought for samples

I can not fault them.

No ADR approval....even genuine Bride are not ADR approved.

Excuse my ignorance here... But because they aren't ADR approved... Would this would mean you can't even get 'em engineered for road worthy? Whats the go? Surley you guys arn't putting these in track cars? :blink:

^^^ Don't kid yourself - ANY modification you make to a car is technically against ADRs, as it hasn't had crash testing and ADR approval .... even engineers certificates are not worth the toner they are printed with here in SA - cops will defect you anyway, as they have no way of verifying if exactly what is engineered is what they are actually looking at.

Ahem... I said excuse the ignorance.

So... They can't be certified period? You just wait to get pulled over, then have to put stockies back in to roll it over the pits, then take them back out and repeat?

Seriously, I want to upgrade my seats... And these are awsome. But I aint going through all that.

Again, whats the go? Regardless of how stupid it all is... Can they be made legal?

Edit: sorry, just read your post again and missed you saying even if you got certs they still ping ya... And im in NSW so... worse yea?

They will get past a normal pink slip I'm sure, and I doubt police will give them too much attention but if you have to go for a blue slip/engineer cert. they will never pass them. I wanted to buy these seats for a HR31 myself and these look awesome but I need to get a blue slip and I don't have the stock rails or seats so it leaves me with a shit quality adr copies. If you want a legal upgrade your going to have to find ADR approved copies or genuine DC2R/DC5R integra recaros which is what I'll be doing.

As far as legality goes, same as any other mod you would do.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
