Hello guys,

Does anyone know where I can get me some racing seats?

I'm particularly after some Brides - nowhere searching on the net seems to sell em in Aus.

Will I have to get some on the next trip to Japan or is it likely places like JustJap will have them sometimes?

What does everyone else run with? I won't need the ones that go flip as it will be for a 4 door gtst .. Will consider 2nd hand!

I can get them new, but not very cheap once you factor in shipping from Japan and tax etc. email/pm me if you do want a price.

fyi - have seen them sell 2nd hand on these forums a few times.. usually around $600 for average condition.

As long as the installation of the seat is fine, then they are fine for L2S events. But for the road they should be ADR approved, but many proper race seats meet ADR and FIA so no worries from safety aspects, it is possible you may run into strife if you have passengers in the back seat of your car and you have a fixed drivers seat.

If it floats you boat i have a new Velo race seat, its no Bride, but is FIA/ADR approved and more comfortable/supportive then the Bride seats i have sat in as im not built like the average Japanese guy...ie sit in it before you buy, most are small and very tight. $520 + postage and the Velo is yours (end shameless self serving plug)

      Custom Exhaust Questions - RB25DET Neo

      By Kip · Posted

      I'm struggling with a similar issue on an RB26. Make sure you know whether it's volume or resonance. Mine seemed louder when cruising compared to at idle. I downloaded a decibel meter for my phone. Take my less than scientific results with a couple grains of salt, but the decibels were the same at idle and at cruise. Mine seems to be a resonance problem. At 2500-3500 rpm, the sound is different and "louder" to my ear. I think it's vibration from the pipe, the car body, the floor or something creating tone. Anyway, consider that it may not be strictly a volume problem.

      Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.

      I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!

      I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
