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/

5. Where the products can be collected from - or

Collection available from 6148, WA.

6. Associated costs for delivery

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.

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
