Drift said bride seat rails fit with only drilling required on the tabs , i'll let you know mine should be in two weeks or less

Funny enough i found a drift seat ad that says they come with rails no expiry date from last year same time i bought my seats !! But they said no rails

I looked at doing mine but the factory rails are flimsy at best so you have to beef them up then run some flatstock or square tube and use grade 8 bolts to fasten , not a huge job but welding the factory metal even with lots of experience will be a pain and fiddly and most likely not able to be engineered to ADR in the end anyhow ? bride rails go 30-35mm lower on 34's so my head wont hit the roof so often on the lovely roads in adelaide

  • 1 month later...

Got mine fitted and it took a fair bit of modification to mount on the bride rails and its still not right

They sit higher then factory ? But the rails say 25-30mm lower and the drift seats are pretty close to the same size as GTR seats

Im further back now but its not a good seating position because my head is jammed into the roof just like before , grrrr damn car rules , I would love to just bolt them thru the floor directly and not use the factory mounting points

They would be great for a 5'8 skinny ass driver

they do absorb the road shocks better of pot hole central adelaide , and look a butt load better then gtt seats being all black

So bewarned the cheap seats get expensive quick if you mount them with bride rails ( under 200 ea ) but took the mechanic all day to mod

and fix the compliancing monkey stripped bolts on the passenger side

to fit and buy your over a grand at least

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
