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.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
