Bride \ Recaro "replica" Seats Carbon , Kevlar Etc


Recommended Posts

Well i dare say mine should stand out, as i dont think anyone ordered anything like mine.

I could possibly pick mine up this arvo if all is good. Just depends on whether i can steal my brothers van or not lol.

Pics! Very keen on the quality. I missed this GB but will be in on another if it happens.

Yeah, I picked mine up on tuesday arvo and they are pretty damn good.

The only problem I found with mine is my hips dont quite fit in the seats, they squeeze that tight that it is uncomfortable :/

I will admit I am 6'4" and 100kg, and they are designed for little asian butts lol

So I may have a set for sale soon :(

Ill put some pics up when i get a chance.

Also the universal rails are not a straight bolt on, you need to fabricate brackets to suit your individual needs. Or buy genuine bride rails.

Yea my cuga's felt a little tight too although i'm only 6'1'" but have a wider back/broad shoulders from the gym etc.

On my r34 gt-t from the stock seat rails the mounting brackets were fixed to the rails with some weird type of screw - looked kind of like a wing nut but without a head to take it off - it was just flat. Wasn't too sure how to get them off without damaging them and the position its in makes it quite awkward so i wasn't able to get the old brackets off and onto the new seats.

Just decided to go for bride rails just waiting for them to arrive.

Have asked the supplier for some tips

"regarding the mounting, in fact, they only need to remove the original seat, and mount the double slider of racing seats onto the original seat rail and fix the racing seats"

Hope that help's everyone

Option1garage here in Brisbane sell custom ADR approved seat rails that will fit Bride and Recaro super low seats, cheaper than genuine bride rails too. Can't wait to get my a$$ in my seats Longz :P

how comfortable are they on long distance drives?

Comfortable, however even for me (being moderately skinny), it's almost a tight squeeze in the thigh area.

Otherwise I still prefer them over stockies

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
