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

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
