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.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
