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.

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.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
