Hey guys,

i have recently been defected for having after market "DRIFT" bucket seats in my R34. I was wondering if s15 seats would fit into the car as i can the front seats off a mate, or if you have any other ideas for seats that would pass the inspection, and fit into the r34? Cheers Mike.

Not sure if they fit, best option is to borrow some standard R34 seats.

Which Drift seats did you get done for? Pics? I was under the impression that they were ADR approved?

yeah if they are DRIFT seats they are ADR approved and thus not defectable. S series seat rails are slighly shorter on 1 hole! other 3 will bolt up i believe

I thought that was the case... OP please get pics and then if that is the only defect you received then i would be fighting it!

+1

on the bottom of the seat will be the ADR tag or underneathe, if they are genuine then fight it and forget about the defect! if in NSW call SDRO and the ombudsman and fight!

cost you a little time but we need to stand against this b/s all the time

lol getting photo's for you, nah i also got done for pod filter not in sealed, my BOV venting to the atmosphere ride height its at 90mm i think it has to be 100mm? i have fully adjustable pedders coil over's but i was told that these are illegal also, by a mate..............?

Well get the pod filter and BOV sorted out, that is asking for trouble and not really doing you any favours in terms of performance gains!

yeah i didn't realise the bov was ilegal so im getting a stock one and fixing the intake, its just the seats that are gonna screw me but if the are adr approved? i attached a photo of them..........i only picked up the car last sat the rego wasn't even transferred into my name yet, the bloke was just on a power trip

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
