ok, my Recaro Sports seat is still on the market. Been sitting under plastic in the garage for months now waiting for an offer.

I was going to get a new car to fit it into but that's not going to happen now with four children.

New selling price - $1200.

Not bad for a seat that was about $2000 new (and still is "as new") to get installed my my ex-R33 GTS-T.

Pix are on my original post but if you can't find them let me know.

Seat has to go! Once you have sat in this seat you will definately not look back.

PM me for reasonable offers.

Hi,

Any idea on how much 'lower' you are in the seat when compared to the normal GTS-t seat ?  

Does it come with rails ?

From recollection your bum sits at the same height but the front of the seat below your legs was tilted higher due to the base frame size and bolt on location.

The seat has electric adjustable height which pivots from the front of the seat.

Rails are built into the base frame below the motorised hight adjustable mechanism.

The seat interface for the GTS-T was done by Roman Autotek in Rhodes, Sydney.

Will require power connection under the base of the seat.

Very snug seat when you slide into it. Never tried it on a track but I can imagine how secure you would feel in a tight fast corner. Also good for four point harness with the holes in the back. This seat was the last of the Recaro Sports that had the harness holes in the back. Apparently can't get them any more.

Guys, read the rules!!

Talej - a post of yorus was edited, yet you still come in and post crap in a thread where your not interested in purchasing the item.

Daz - Im sure just_grouse doesnt really care if you would buy it, becuase as you say , you dont have the money...

Breber - same, dont post if your not interested.

In case you guys have trouble seeing, there is an Announcement at the top of every classifieds forums saying "NEW RULES FOR POSTING!! ALL FORUM MEMBERS PLEASE READ"..

If i can pay it over over time i'd be interested. i can afford them, just not the 1200 in one go. if it were say 200 - 300 a fortnight it would be doable.

If this isnt out of the question let me know... i can do a downpayment and stuff if u want.

Sorry for the delay on responding. Not sure why the auto emails from the forum are not notifying me any more.

The sensible thing to do is apply for a 2 year interest free loan through GE Finance or the like. That way the money is there up front for any purchase and the monthly payments are low.

I'd be a fruit case to let anyone pay me over a period of time as there are no assurances you would keep up the payments whereas finance companies have their butts covered big time.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
