I'm after some nice holding, yet fairly comfortable seats for my r33 gtst. I'm not interested in China brides, I also don't want to dick around welding brackets in/to the seat rails or chassis - let's keep it simple and high quality. 

Is it too much to ask for a driver's seat under $2k, that fits like factory with the seat rail slider that's easily sourced in Australia (closer to w.a the better). I don't really care about the passenger getting flung around ??

With her popular skylines are I didn't think it'd be hard to source some half decent seats. 

Please don't suggest gtr seats, too hard to source atm due to coronavirus and they've had 20+ years of juices slammed into them. 

Thank you ?

Yes its too much to ask.  Aftermarket seats are usually race seats which you probably don't want. So you are restricted to a few other Nissan Models such as 350Z, Fuga etc and not all of them will bolt straight in. So you can do what I did - buy some Recaros from an Evo or a Honda etc but then you have to get a suitable frame and sliders and make them all fit. This will then require certifying - often with new seat belt mounts that bolt to the floor or tunnel.

Are you happy to use fixed back seats? Going fixed back saves you a heap of cash and you can get it done for well under $2,000.

A set of bride rails say $450 ish, a nice Velo seat say $1,100 with plenty of beer money to spare. 

Fixed back seats can be comfy too, there are shit fixed back and nice fixed back, you'll just need to see what works for you.

I don't mind fixed back, but my mate got yellowed for having a fixed back sparco in his. I believe it may be legal if registered as a two seater I'll need to look into it. 

Maybe getting a set of gtr seats retrimmed will be the best option.

Hmm the Velo seats are ADR complaint which is a good starting point, if it's only the drivers seat I'd kindly explain to the officer that the rear seat can be accessed through the front passenger seat. 

Using GTR seats will depend on what you want them to do. I currently use GTR seats, have a half cage and harness for the track. I still can't wait to get fixed back seats in. 

If it was a street car only, GTR seats are amazing. Good compromise on support and comfort.

R32 and R33 GTR seats will bolt straight in.   R34 GTR seats will need a minor modification to the mounts - but not a big deal.

How can that be true as r34 gtr seats bolt directly into r33 gtrs.

i think it’s gtt that has a different bolt pattern

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
