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

But these seats are looking joocy

Bride Low max, but with a CF/kevlar back

Bride Stradia II Venus in Alcantara

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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
