Picked up new batch today.

Only change is the outer hole slots have been extended to suit GTT. Note: for the GTT it wont sit flat on the floor like it does in other Skylines but is still solid.

Just got mine.

The new batch fits perfect, but due to size of my extinguisher, it was in the way of sliding the chair fully forward. I slightly modified it (I bashed it with a mallet) to make it sit lower and it cleared my seat without a problem.

The bracket itself

Nice work Ricky ^ :thumbsup:

Note to other readers this mod to the bracket is not required on any other skylines or Silvias only on R34 GT and GTT because they have a different floor pan.

If there was say 10 x R34 GT or GTT owners who wanted brackets I could get a special batch done without that bend that Ricky flattened?

seat bolt holes are slotted so max 461mm min 421mm center to center, max bolt dia 12mm. inner bolt is approx 20mm higher than the outer.

Pics in this thread will give you a good idea how it goes together.

I'm very happy with how this went into my S15.

Thanks Joe.

Have you guys gone over or under your seat rails with it - does it matter either way?

Hi Tinto, looks like you have heaps of room there. pretty serious seat + 5 pt harness btw :woot:

whether it goes over or under depends on how the seat seat rails are formed at the bolt holes. They tend to have a formed lip either up or down. My car has them down so bracket goes on top but whatever works for your car is okay. main thing is that the seat bolts can still get plenty of thread engadged and you can get them nice and tight. minimum 3-4 full turns of thread should be okay. other wise you may need to get longer bolts. also bolts need flanged heads or use a washer.

Okay I may have left this to the last minute but I need on for sau nats.. are there any available? Or is there any where that I can buy one?

I'm out but Chris at racepace may still have one: (03) 9762-9421

I know some after market seats have levers etc at the front which may be an issue.

:( i'm running Bride Cuga's and my lovely bracket won't fit anymore due to the lever at the front of the seat controller front/back movement.

Not sure if this will be an issue for any Bride rail setup

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
