Aftermarket Seats In R33's

[INASNT]

Who has installed some aftermarket seats in their r33 and what/ where did you get new rails to fit from as the floor plan on the r33 for the seat rails is at all different elevations and a bitch to modify generic rails with.

Preferable a shop i get purchase some rails ASAP.

Talk to Daniel at Autobarn Epping. He was trying to get one of the seat manufacturers to come up with compatible mounts as the seats sat too high in a skyline.

[INASNT]

Places must sell specific R33 rails wouldnt they?

[GTRgeoff]

Probably the expensive manufacturers will have them as a pricey option. I like the look of your seats. Just wondering if I can shoehorn my fat arse into one.

COMES WITH NEW SEAT RAILS (MIGHT NEED SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO FIT CAR)

Famous last words INASNT, I wondered how long it would take for you to find out the awful truth...

Sparco ones cost ¥28,000 for an R33/Evo 2 for the "low" version...

When they come here I am considering going off to a metal workshop type place to get

copies made up...

p.s. The Evo2 is meant for those of us more gifted in the ass department (__|__)

p.p.s. I always read INASNT as INSANiTy... LOL now I get it...

yeah, its always a bitch.. seat rails. You'd think it would be easy.. but nope..

i have a set of R33 seats at home which i thought i may as well try and fit in my r31.. no ****ing chance! even though I pretty much pulled the whole rail structure off each and had them side by side there was no way it was going to fit the other seats... even with simple adaptions it wasn't workable.

Then custom fabrication kicks in.. may as well just just spend $800 and retrim the existing ones

or just buy gtr ones

haha

The r33 has a farked up floor plan near the seats which makes it harder than most to get rails to fit properly as i was told was a few places i have rang and after pulling out the seats. My seats have gone in mr2, wrx's, 240z etc without any hassels with the new rails because they have a flat floor plan!!! And once i sort out the rail issue i can also for anyone that wants a pair of seats for an r33.

Geoff my rather gifted ass fits in quite easily!!!

Stock GTR rails are the same the gts and cant be adapted to other seats.

if this helps...

i have bride rails for my recaro seat and it was previously fitted in a 180?

[KamikazeR33]

i meant seats

Floor plans will be different in 180 and r33 i think.

I need driver and pasenger side

[sno33]

it was in the 180 with the same rails that i am using though?

but i didnt install it myself so yer...?

[INASNT]

mine will fits in the car at the moment, but it sits to low and not straight enough for my liking at the moment and i cbf playing around with it anymore. I have used new high tensile strength bolts aswell but want it to fit like the stock.

They have a pair for $360.

[INASNT]

sweet, thanks for that

[dAVE]

pretty sure R32, S13, R33 and R34 are the same... i know heaps of people use GTR seats in the s13's and never heard of problems with them bolting straight up.

[INASNT]

So i guess i will be buying those bride rails.

I will get some copied at engineering shop for others

I have universal Momo rails, its as easy as welding some tabs onto them.... then a touch up with gloss black paint.

When welding though i would make sure its a neat fillet weld (preferably TIG) , using some flat bar, (i think it was 40 x 5mm) you would hate to have a big'n and the seat mount shear!

[GTRgeoff]

I'm thinking of moving my seat to the right a little sometime soon to centre the wheel.
