Hey guy'z

I want to get new seats in my r34 but don't know much about racing seats for on road use

I was thinking about somthing like this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BN-JTM-PAIR-WHITE-RACING-SPORT-SEATS-ADR-APPROVAL-/260812629658?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cb9a4e69a#ht_5788wt_911

... would them seats be street legal in a 2door 34 ? ..

Any info would be good

thanks

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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
