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 -

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 :nyaanyaa:

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?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
