2x Evo 2 seats sitting at friend's house doing nothing...

GoJiRa to the rescue orders 2x Sparco seat rails specifically designed for the R33 and Evo 2 from Japan.

Jap guys laugh and roll eyes about being hassled so often about them being specifically for an Evo 2

$1,100 and a magnificently made set of Evo 1 rails turn up on mates doorstep.

Jap Sparco guys now say there is no difference between Evo 1 and Evo 2.

2x Evo 2 seats and 2x Evo 1 seat rails sitting at friend's house doing nothing...

They cost what they cost. Brand new brand name parts cost a lot.

Admittedly shipping was a large part of the cost.

As you can see from my post early in this thread I was naively confident

that I would get what I asked for.

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

http://www.sparco.co.jp/contents/ecatalog/...t/matching1.htm

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 (__|__)

yes and darrinspencer was dreaming thinking it would only cost $50 to send those other seat rails from japan to aus when i paid $40 to bring them over from brisbane to mel by road, not air freight which would have cost $175

So i guess i got a bargain with those BRIDE rails i got then as they fit perfectly in the r33

So you can send those sparco rails back and get in my group buy then :cheers:

Yep you got a nice little deal. Admittedly these are not a total loss. The side plates just need to be extended 15mm each side so I will see how much that costs ;) The actual rail part is fine and looks pretty much exactly the same as your Bride one. The sideplates bolt on to the rail. I expected the rail and side to be a single part (luckily they weren't)

But with the cost, as always here people know a mate of a mate who got one for $2 and want to get it off you for $1.99. :(

re: Group Buy - Hahahah no way, these rails have caused me enough trouble, they are going in this car whether they want to or not :cheers:

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
