wooot!

shannons for lyf

they wouldnt give me a price that nice, same value 1300 a year no at fault accidents and over 25.

I said I wouldn't, you're free to do what yo want with your own money.

However those fakes aren't really cheap either. If yo shop around you can find genuine seats for great prices...

Just a quick search

^^Those yellow in your car would look cool as f**k imo :P

Single seats in great condition show up in the 300-500 range too if you're willing to wait to put together a pair.

Edit: Even compared to Genine brand new seats those fakes really aren't that much cheaper. Things like the Zeta III are even almost the same cost as a real one.

the 2nd hand recaros, though tempting, would require work to restore, i'm no mohsen, so restorations, aren't my thing. But a set of SR3s wouldnt be too bad.

Though, any thoughts on the holford motors homebrand recliners? They look pretty okay.

I agree you are free to do what you want with your own cash, but don't be bullshitting people saying they are ADR approved. There is now a lot of people that beloved this and think they are buying safe stuff, which is just straight up f**king unacceptable. Then again anything that removes a few drifters from the gene pool can't be all bad I spose....

Also they are heaps cheaper dude... I know you can get genuine shit cheap If you are patient or know people (hell I got the bride in my 33 secondhand exjapan for $300 with rails)

But you can NOT get genuine seats that are or even look brand new for $500 odd for a PAIR

There's a set of confetti SR3's on eBay in what looks to be great condition - so tempted, so expensive :(

On that note, anyone selling or know of any 32/33 GT-R seats for sale?

Fair point! Depends what seats you want though

What he said

I'm not actively looking at seats

But these seats are looking joocy

Bride Low max, but with a CF/kevlar back

nengun-1990-02-bride-gias_sport_-_low_ma

Bride Stradia II Venus in Alcantara

318599_10150322164017455_137573528_n.jpg

These are $3,500 a set via Nengun LOL

they look tits but are soooooooooooooooo thin

I tried to get into athid's s15 and there was no way I could do it

Might be the brain not working near Christmas

But what do you mean you couldn't get into the s15 because of the seat? Please elborate

my passenger seat is a second hand Sparco i got for $250. faded and squashed cushions, so got it reupholstered. didnt know interior/fabric paint existed or else I would have just sprayed it. oh well.

so faded is easily repaired. tears are tricky though.

    • 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.
