Identify My Recaro

[34GeeTeeTee]

Hi Guys,

I want a passenger seat the same as my drivers seat, the seat came in a car from Japan and was removed and sold to me on arrival. The thing is near new and it suits the R34 GTT like it was meant to come from factory with it, the colours and all are perfect... Now, i know there is 1000 Recaro SR3 and similar models out there but is there a particular car this seat was released in or a name or something i can use to hunt another one down??

The seat -

I believe this was the SR3 Millenium series

The millennium series have it written just below the RECARO logo on the readrest. And also those extra 'grips' I suppose on the shoulder bolsters, the millenium has them down near your thighs as well.

I believe this is a RECARO SR3 'Trail' series seat. I have one exactly the same except the pattern in the middle is slightly different. Unlucky cos I'll have it for sale soon too.

Edit: I'll be back in Newcastle soon.

I know it's a long shot but the inserts/inner pattern is only velcro'd in, personally I like to keep things genuine but if you don't mind just the inner part being re-trimmed you could buy mine and have a matching pair...

Let me know dude cos finding a matching one of them is going to be super hard. I've been looking for a matching one to mine here in Australia forever but it's basically impossible unless it came from Japan in a container for a massive price. They are on YahooJP but even then they're still pretty rare.

And here's a pic of what mine looks like. No rips or tears anywhere. I actually had a quick look on Yahoo JP and there's a set of the inner trims the same as mine on there which you could replace yours with but you probably don't like the look of my trim (I admit it's not the most attractive, my mate actually said it looks like a coach/bus trim haha) and it could be a bit of money by the time they arrive.

Obviously mines the one on the right.

Thanks Jimmy... Yeah your mate is right about the trim colour... Its epic fail

As for the Grip parts, does yours have the plastic grip bits on them? Hard to tell from the pic...

The good thing at the moment is although the Recaro is really obvious in the cabin, at least it is the same colour as the standard seat (Close enough anyway)...

At the moment its not a priority but once i get the car completed in months to come i will want to clean the interior up and get a matching seat.

Jimmy - When you back?

Yeah it has those plastic grips.

Get back this Saturday but my car doesn't arrive 'til 21st September.
