Hello,

Looking for ideas from people who have removed their rear seats in their GTR (R34), ie for track days etc - how have you finished the rear? Ie retrim/Carpet?

I saw a product - Electra Dry Carbon Rear Seat Delete Cover (see attached pic).

I am wondering if anyone knows where to get these, and if they are available for an R34!

They look the goods!

think most people just leave it empty why add any weight ?

the rear seat is fairly light in comparision to most domesticated models.

now the spare tyre is another story, can they make it any heavier.....for such a hunk of crap

I have removed my rear seats for a cage and now mod plated as a 2 seater. Also it makes it eaiser to mount the harnesses :)

I just thought if there was some good ideas/product that could make the back look a little more pleasing on the eye whilst not adding much weight it might be of consideration to make it look a little neater.

The spare wheel is very heavy - however taken out at the track :)

Have a look what I done. Turned out pretty good.

Those carbon rear seat deletes are no longer made, we discussed them in my same thread. Hope you are sitting down when you read the price...

Nice Job! How does the carpet look around all the contours - Hard to see in the pics.

I think unless I can find/have something made I'll leave it :)

Id love one of those carbon peices though! Wonder if this is something worthwhile for carbon companies to consider making?

Cheers

Yeah i've mentioned it in the past for some one to make one. Definetely something that could be looked into more.

It honestly looks really good in real life. Most people don't even notice that there are no rear seats. I've had a few mates now that I have driven around a few times and then I mention the no back seat thing and they say they didn't even realise because it didn't look out of the ordinary.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
