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

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.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
