Most fixed back seats use side mounts, perhaps that is what he means.

With bolting side mounts onto a bottom mount rail you get the problem of jacking the seat up.

yes true if its side mounted seat you cant use this rail.

so assuming tight ass seats @ $700 + $500 for your rails = $1300 ..  

so cheap .. :)

rofl since when is 700 + 500 = 1300 :P

anyway, seats start at $460 a pair....

so basically r31 rails are the same as the r32/r33 seat rails then?

i'm interested ..just working on the budget

Thanks

The bride rails/frame has r31/r32/r33 written on them, but i dont think it will fit the aus delivered r31's someone said.

Sorry for the delay on these place making the jig has been flat out and i have been away for work also.

Getting first set made up this coming week so will have pricing on then and so my seats can finially go in.

This was me :D and is *confirmed* I tried to fit my spare r33 seats into my aussie R31.. don't fit and I tried lots of things.. different completely.

Import (HR31) is different... so if they say R31 they will be for import R31.. NOT local as above.

how much are the rails?

After finding out the distinct lack of seat rails available if you own a R31,R32,R33 and want to put in aftermarket seats in, I am offering a group buy for a set of copies which I will get a metal engineering shop to copy of the bride seat rails I am about to purchase for the recaros to go into my car. Recaro or no other company in Aus has any rails available either.

If you want to put in Recaro,Bride, Cobra, Sparco etc seat in ur line then you will need a set of these rails as the floor plan on the lines are at different elevations near the seat area and the drivers side seat belt holder is apart of the stock seat rails. You will not be able to adapt any other rails unless u custom cut and shut them, and then still the seat wont sit at the right elevation or angle and wont be as safe as these properly made ones I can get done.

If interested reply on here and then I can get a good price from the fabricator

.

Count me in INASNT, I just bought Troys Velo Esprit seat and if it can be fitted with these rails i'll get one drivers side for R32 please.

PM me with a price and available date as soon as you can.

Cheers mate.

Ok finially got the seats put into my car with the original bride rails.

The rails make the driver side seat sit up a bit more than the stock seat would with aftermarket seats which is better than the other rails around that make the seats sit alot lower than normal.

Only one set of rails were made, which wasnet a easy bloody job either.

New rails are made with SASS rollers and fabricated frame which is welded.

Will get pics of the rails soon.

Only 1 set has been made so i could put my seats in my car, but jig is all setup to make others.

Price looking at $250 per rail/frame which will bolt straight to the floor plan or a r33/r32 and import r31 but you might have to slightly modify the bolt locations to suit ur type of seat as recaro,sparco,cobra all have different hole centers on the base of their seats, which is not a hard job.

Please reply again if ur interested so i can take numbers down.

I am waiting for mitchxr6 and someonestolecc to confirm both, with those 2 i have 3 others wanting both also.

Only one has been made so far, and hopefully 2 more next week and then how many more people want.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
