Bride Stradia Or Gias - R34 Gtr Demo?

Hi

One mod I have wanted for a long time is to lower the seating position in my R34 GTR.

From what I have found so far the Bride Stradia/Gias seems to go as low as possible using off the shelf parts.

Does anyone in Brisbane or GC have an R34 GTR fitted with these seats that I could sit in before shelling out the cash?

Am also interested in what the rear access is like with them, as they do not seem to flip forward very far.

Preferably genuine items, but if the replicas as exactly as low then that will also do.

Thanks in advance

Stretch.

Hi, we met at the recent GTR cruise. Chris who had one of the bay side blue ones has a Bride seat. Dan can put you in touch.

I did sit in Chris's car but that is a Zeta fixed back seat and I would really like too check out a recliner style, mainly to see how far forward it fold and how low it is.

If Bride's are not ADR/legal then are all the people that have them just taking a risk being defected?

if the cheapass saas, monza, autotechnica etc seats can be adr approved it would be hard to see why the decent bride seats couldn't be. Would need to be quick-tilt type for 2doors though, soemthing about ease of exit in emergency...that's about all i know on it though

Nope, no brides.

Removed a (genuine) bride from new zed for recaros. While getting recaros mod plated, I showed the one that came out. He saw it was a bride and said no way, big no-no on all bride seats. Can not be mod plated.

Last time when I talk to the guy at GT Auto he said he can do mod plate for the bride seats, because he is the only guy in Brisbane who take the seats for the ADR test.

Is a 34 gtr not low enough?

I had a low one, then raised it because I couldnt see over the dash (172cm) and then I was boosting around being all lebo. what I experienced was,

Seat belt doesnt sit in the right spot and kind of rubs around the neck instead of collar bone

very annoying to clip unclip seat belt with the bolsters

side of seat is very very close to the door

it does not recline nearly as far as oem

seat also does not slide as far forward as oem

All in all, Id rather have a 34 GTR seat than a bride stradia/gias.

    • You have your numbers back to front. 350mm from wheel centre to guard lip would be scrapinly low and the suspension arms would be at spastic angles and it would have the road manners of a meth affected giraffe. You can down to ~450mm (from larger stock starting values about 50ish mm higher than that) before you start to create to many problems.
    • I think last I checked it was 35cm from fender to wheel center. I heard u can go up to 45-48cm before handling his impacted. But I need to check again. I know I was about 1.2 cm off being close to max recommended. 
    • You'd need to weld on an external gate to achieve that number though. I can't remember seeing anyone make 500hp at the wheels with the stock manifold / internally gated turbo.
    • Suspension Component Question Looking for some feedback based on people's experiences! I know this has been loosely covered in other threads but I can't find any direct answers/experience. I'm up for some bush/rod replacements and was interested in a hybrid approach between hardened rubber and pillowball kit. Why not choose one or the other? Well, this is for my daily driver, which I track once or twice a year. I like a stiff car and a sporty feel but I don't want to compromise the chassis too much with 100% pillowball gadgetry.  I know from experience and a tonne of reading that not all components affect ride quality in the same way - eg. in my case, coilover top mounts should be hardened rubber as pillowball transfers way too many undesirable qualities and doesn't have much more upside than a good hardened rubber. But, pillowball tension rods translate to much better turn-in/steering response and make the car significantly sharper, without negatively impacting ride quality in a significant way.  I'm not TOO bothered by NVH (to a degree). So, with context out of the way, does anyone have any experience with a hybrid approach as mentioned above? I'm going to replace all components over time so am seeking guidance on: - front tension rods - upper camber arms - rear lower control arm - rear traction rod - rear upper camber arm - rear toe adjuster rod  Secondly, is there any reason why this is a bad idea? Or any other info/wisdom that I might not be considering. Cheers 🫶
    • That's good to hear I'll stick with the stock I hear they are good for 500hp and I'm only shooting for 350-400 once I can get this thing sorted and get to actually building it.
