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.

Pics of how the seats sit in the car with the new seat frame/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.

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
