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... :cheers:

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

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!!! :)

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!

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
