Hey Fellas

I own a 1994 R32 GT-R and live in Sydney,

The Genuine buckets are getting pretty smashed up. The drivers seat has rips and the sponge is really weak too so i was thinking about getting the seats reupholstered but i thought about the cost of getting the sponge fixed aswell as a neat trim.. I gather it would be pretty expensive... still probably worth to get a quote or two.

Anyways My Question is If i were to get some aftermarket bucket seats is there buckets that's not over the top in price but looks nice. id pay up to about probably 1.5K for good ones.

If i had to buy aftermarket ones could i buy the rails that will be a direct fit to the car or will i have to be drilling holes in stuff to fit the seats?

I'm only a short ass so i don't want hyper low ones haha !! the genuine buckets were perfect ride height for me so i want something with the same height if i can please..

Thanks for any help i appreciate it heaps.

Brides all the way mate, huge variety to be able to suit you and your preferences, and rails for bolt in.

I have a red Bride CUGA (carbon backed) with a 33 GTR passenger in my 32 gtst and it is amazing, if you want more comfort and a bit less aggressive bucket go a bride euro series.

Just make sure you get genuine ones, jessestreeter.com is the place to go.

They are the seats I would have gone if I did't get such a good deal on the CUGA.

The best thing about them is that as with my cuga and zetas etc is they are really buckety and supportive but if you are driving for a while they make you sore (they make you drive with your knees together)

quality is second to none and the euro series is like an evolution of gtr seats ( buckety but livable)

Make sure you take a seat in a Bride first, they aren't very wide in the arse area.

Very keen on them seats been pming them.

Any other info fellas please give me your part :)

thanks to everyones input so far, greatly appreciated

Put in a couple of extra dollars and get R34 GTR Seats, ADR (legal) and they are a sweet seat, no point in spending $1500 on seats that you have to remove if you get defected for them, for around $2000 you can get genuine Nissan R34 GTR seats that will bolt straight in.

Do the $1500 seats have rails included, they will cost at least $500 for a decent set at least.

Shop smart, shop S-mart

Im going to get the entire car engineered.

Im buying the Bride Gias 2 Low max as a pair

R34 GTR seats are nice and what you said is correct but 2grand for used R34 Seats or 1300 for Brand new Bride that look way better.

I went over his house today and sat in them, i really liked them.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
