Carbon Kevlar And Carbon Fibre Bride Gias Replicas


Recommended Posts

1. Start and end date for the group buy. A maximum run time of 3 months is imposed - No more never ending group buys!

Start date is today (21/11/12) and end date is one month from now, 21/12/12.

2. Clear details of the product/s on offer

I contacted a supplier and got a fantastic deal in my opinion on 6 pairs (no more, no less) of Bride Lowmax Gias II replica bucket seats. Any more, and they won't fit on a standard carton so I'm going to limit this GB to 6 pairs (12 pieces).

Seats are available in black, blue or red material. Also, the center can be either all black or Bride gradiation material. The rears and base comes in either carbon fibre or carbon kevlar (same price).

3. The Group Buy price being offered, and the normal RRP

Genuine GIAS in kevlar go for $3600 a pair. RRP of these on eBay is around $1200+shipping for a pair, but I managed to lock 6 pairs (so 12 pieces) in at $700/pair shipped to WA + whatever customs duties we have to pay. The supplier has agreed to lower the declared value.

4. The company that is supplying the products for the group buy

gzkstar - website is http://www.gzkstar.com/

Collection available from 6148, WA.

Dimensions in CM are 110x60x60, 35kgs. You can use sites like E-go or Transdirect to get a quote shipped to you. As a rough guide, a pair will cost around $150 shipped to Melbourne.

I take it no ADR approval? Any idea on the structural integrity of these things? Just had a copy Sparco seat fail on me after about a year which I'm looking to replace at the moment, don't really want the same thing to happen again.

No Brides have ADR approval unfortunately mate, genuine or otherwise. A few members on here are currently running these seats and I'm only running this group buy off the positive feedback these seats have received. :)

These same seats were offered in a group buy recently for $850. At $700, I feel its a steal if we can get 6 people on board!

Fair enough. Are these the ones from the group buy about a year ago, coming from Carbontec (or similar) in China?

*EDIT* Herp a derp. I'll read the 1st post a little better shall I? :P

As far as I'm aware, you can buy rails from Supercheap or Autopro for around $100, or genuine Bride rails will fit these as well.

only this model? got ergo leather maybe? :no:

Only this model for this group buy unfortunately :(

Edited by PewPew

These should come as they usually do come with it.

Lots of people buy these here in Dubai, and general perception is the ones coming from Taiwan are of really good quality then China,

Because I'm a deadset retard, are the rails that can be purchased from Supercheap etc the ONLY additional purchases that would be needed in order to fit these seats to a standard R33? So nothing needs to be modified and additionally purchased to bolt in.

As far as I'm aware, yes. 5 spots filled, 1 last buyer needed to get this group buy into action!!

What sort of rails do these use? Side or bottom mount?

yes you can buy the universal rails but IMO dont! they do not include sliders and will need universal sliders and make the seat sit too high!!!

spend the cash and buy the SL bride rails that these were designed for to get them sitting right in the car otherwise the front will be extremely high and causes leg cramps

Sorry, havn't been online for a while. In the end I got the numbers, but the supplier decided last minute to jack up the prices - very unprofessional. So I won't be going through with the order. Sorry for any inconvenience.

    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
