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

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.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
