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.

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.

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.

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
