GTR32 seats are too high

Hi guys,

I am finding that the stock seats are too high for my liking in my R32. 

I understand my options are to shave the foam in the seats, chop the rails, or buy rails that get the seat to sit lower. I do not want to buy aftermarket seats.

Can anyone recommend a shop in sydney to customise the seats for me?

Or if buying new rails are a better option, if you could recommend ones that will be a direct swap.

Thanks everyone.

If you want to change the rails then you will have to chop and weld.

Never heard of someone complaining about sitting to high in a gtr lol.

Interesting topic. Can't say that I've ever heard of this before.

Good condition seats are in high demand. I personally wouldn't go chopping/welding anything.

 ?Remove seat, sit on floor. sell seat for hookers.

Really? Odd, the seats seem high compared to the steering wheel for me...

 

Ive googled and some others have the same issue..

Wow........ Are you 8' 5"?

I'm 6" 0" and wish they were a couple of inches higher.

The low seating position took me some time getting use to.

Have you compared your seats to others? I'm just wondering if someone has already modified them the other way.

Cheers,

Bob.

I assume you Have tried setting the steering wheel into it highest position

[Hadouken]

Lol imagine that it was on max down

Slightly OT but my aftermarket Bride rail (bottom mount) is actually higher than the R34 OEM rail. You can easily see why too, the Bride front legs have a down bit before the mount, whereas the OEMs don't. There's a good 20-25mm difference and the front of my Sparco sits easily higher than the stock passenger seat (bottom of the bucket is lower though).

For maximum low you'd need:

• Lowest possible rails (likely custom)
• Side mount brackets (which means no slider)
• Aftermarket seat (most likely fixed back only)

Lol it prob is. Didnt know you could adjust height

[yangin]

But on a serious note, anyone know if there is enough clearance to cut the rails about an inch?

[Hadouken]

Wow you sure you have the right seats in there?
And face palm at steering wheel height.
If you want to lower it 20-30mm then you will have to go side mount like v28 said.

That's basically on the floor pan.

Umm the seats aren't high mate, pictures? Do you have a huge steering wheel?

[jmknights93]

Only one thing high and I don't suspect it's the seats in this situation....

[yangin]

f**k u guys. Jk

 

[niZmO_Man]

I have the steering wheel fully extended and lowered, plenty of room for me. I'm not exactly huge though.

I don't think you can go much lower than factory.

bride stradia low max seat with bride rails is much lower than factory seats, almost feel like you are falling when trying to seat on them
