From what i can see without ripping seat apart looks like the rails are part the seat not just bolted on is that right.

Hay man I just installed new drift seat into my car today you need I to some serious mods I actually used the standard rails and the universal rails

Thanks for the offer.After much internet searching have found rails autotecnica sell them for $300 a pair,there the same ones that just jap sell for $350 a pair.Thanks everyone for the help.Cheers Grant

Yeah u need to completely smash the old chair apart so I was abit scared because once u break it there's no going back if you need a hand with it depending on your location I'd gladly give you some assistance .

The universal ones? They're not gonna fit either mate, notice on the JustJap website it does not mention GTT's in the compatibility list? You've wasted your money if you've already bought them.

GTT's have a unique floor plan, you need to get GTT specific seat rails to suit them. Bride or Recaro are the only ones I know of that make them.

Well anyone with half a brain would know that, but than again anyone with a full brain would know that when you hear the word 'universal' it always means it wont fit/work.

I actually smashed the original seat apart and used the existing rails as 'Hanaldo' stated GTT has very odd floor pan, So you need to get inventive i managed to use the original rails off the gtt stock seat and combine the universal rails together I paid $55.00 for standard universal seat rails it came with 2 peices of strong steel which i bolted across the original rails horizontally than attached the universal rails too the steel. An there you have it i have full adjustment of the seat still and its bolted down very securely. An You dont have to spend big money on rails from recaro. But than again It depends how serious you are if your after the real thing than of course buy your recaros or your brides and pay hundreds for gtt rails.

Yes, you normally need the bride rails, as stated above the 2 door 34 GTT is a unique seat rail bolt pattern.

I got rails for my 34 gtt from a company called MAD automotive a trader from nissan silvia forum, (not sure if they are still around or not, but might be worth messaging them if they are)

Personally I wouldn't go down the route of modifying the stock rails either. You cost yourself money there as well because you could easily get $300-$400 for the stock seats in good condition. Smash them apart to get the rails off and you may as well have paid $400 for Bride rails which will be ALOT safer in the even of a car accident than anything you could knock up yourself for cheap.

But that's your choice. I've never liked taking the cheap way out when it comes to modifying cars, it always leads to problems. If you want to modify a car, be prepared to pay for it.

I spoke to just jap told him that i wanted rails for a r34 gt-t and he said the universal will fit,i said ive been told the gt-t has diff bolt pattern,he got rude and said what do i know ive only been fitting them for 10 yrs and im telling you they fit..I rang autotecnica spoke to simmon and he swear,s black and blue that there 645nisr and sl rails will fit a gt-t.Looks like im going bolt them to a milk crate and be done with it.Im getting told so many diff thing,s im stuffed if i know what to do.And Martin i agree im not going butcher stock seat ,$$$ isnt a problem so ill spend what i gotta spend

I do have a brain mate,ive never changed the seats before,bride rails ive been told will only fit bride seats and recaros i cant find anything on the net for there rails find me a link please,the problem im finding is the so called pro,s that sell them are telling me they will fit a gt-t,you go to the dentist he tells you that tooth needs come out you believe him,ppl that selll the rails tell you they fit a gt-t you believe them,ring just jap and ask him if the jjr universal rails fit a r34 gt-t and get back to me.

Yeh sellers will always tell you universal rails will fit. Though if you were speaking to Steve, he usually knows his stuff... But there is no way those rails on their site would fit, I can see that just by looking at them. They may fit with modification, but not straight out of the box. If they fit 32's and 33's, they're not going to fit a 34.

If money isn't a problem, look for some Bride or Recaro rails. Recaro's are usually cheaper, Bride's are usually easier to find. But you can buy them and know 100% that they will fit and work perfectly.

Its sounding like to much shit for seats.Rang recaro 45min ago,he said there rails will not fit r34 gt-t 2 door they tried to fit them on the just car,s gt-t didnt fit,had a gt-t in tas this week try and fit the rails didnt fit.Im going get custom paint job done on some milk crates and use them.My gt-t isnt out compliance yet and its giving me the shits,if i hadnt put deposit on it id ring auto japan and say dont want it.

If you have them who did u get them thru and are they for top mount seats

Ring Recaro back and ask to speak to someone else, bloke doesn't know what he is talking about. I've got Recaro rails in my car.

I got them second-hand through a member on here mate, so can't help you there. But I think they still have part numbers on them so I'll go have a look quickly.

As for the seats, they are Sparco Torino II's and yes they are bottom mounted.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
