Just keep in mind that there is absolutely zero chance of those rails fitting your car. So you will need to buy some Bride or Recaro rails as well, which are $500+ a set unless you can find them second-hand.

and those seats are utterly fugly, not that I would trust them as far as safety goes either...

if you want adr approved get some 34gtr seats or be prepared to pay for quality, the eghey seats you linked are not quality...

Lol, not everyone can afford a GTR or willing to spend their life savings on a GTR lol.

Back on the topic, I'm pretty sure that any of the aftermarket seats that you buy will need rails.

Rails can be expensive, but if you are lucky, you can pick them up 2nd hand for $100-150 ea.

As for seats, I've got a Bride style one in my car, pretty comfy and huggy, no complaints, bought it for $300 brand new lol and got given rails by a mate.

Might be worth spilling where you got said Bride style seat for $300 from ;)

the drift blade seats are ADR approved and you can get rails for them. they are a copy of the r34 gtr seats.

using seats from other cars, (ie gtr seats into a gtt) is not adr approved. as they are not from that car, so you can be defected for it, along with if you have to modify the standard rails on them, unless ofc you get an engineers cert for them.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
