Hey guys so i recently fitted a bride euro2 seat and a bride rail into the passenger side of my r34 gtt.

The rail that suits a euro2 is a Bride MO type. I have a RO type with the MO conversion plates fitted to make it suit the Euro2 seat shown in the link bellow:

The seat position is now at least 2cm higher than the stock seat making it feel like a bus.

Is there any other rails that sit lower, or any other way to position the seat lower?

last resort id go would be fabricators cutting the rail up!!

You literally need every little bit you can to get the seat down low, especially on the passenger side. Any adapter will make you sit on the roof. Only 2 options would be get just the MO type rail (check it out to see what it looks like first too, as it may still sit you kind of high). Or, get one fabbed, which is what I did with my Gias II's, and it now sits lower than standard seats.

i was told the RO and MO are similar in height :(

who fabricated your rail? and how much did u pay if u dont mind me asking? :)

They look like they would yeah. Actually fabbed it myself. So just the cost of some 3 mm flat bar in mild steel.

Shoijiki, was that fab from scratch or a modded bride rail to sit lower?

Modified Chinese universal rail. It was to "suit" R34 GT-T, and it did bolt in! However your head would touch the roof essentially! So all the flanges were cut off and the frame trimmed down and re-welded to sit as low as is possible without modifying the floor pan. The passenger side cannot sit as low as the drivers side since the floor has a large bulge in the RH rear area. However it's still much lower than stock with the Gias seats. Also I extended the seat belt bracket on the rail to be 5 cm higher too, as it feels like its too far down on the Bride/Uni Rails.

I can show you some quick snaps of the modded rails if you like.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
