wtf is an ork van :confused:

:P

The Bride rails bolt straight into a R32-R34 skyline. From there, the OBX seats bolt onto the top of the rails. The rails have 4 holes, but depending on which OBX seat you choose you may have to drill 2 holes in the rail. They are $295ea from Powerplay.

A cheaper option may be to start with generic style rails from somwhere like race and rally, but if you go that way you will need someone to help you mount the rails to the car. Mounting the seat to the generic rails is the same, 2 holes are OK, 2 you may need to drill.

Hope that helps :D, its pretty sad when the rails cost more than the seats ;) They are still a pretty good deal compared to the $1k + people ask for used Bride seats.....

yeah, thanks Nissan for creating the world's most uneven floorplan....you will definately need at least some custom fabrication if you go generic rails, both for the uneven floor and for the seat belt mount on the drivers side.

The Bride rails or a copy are the easiest option :(

yeah Powerplay have them in stock at $295 which I got the impression was pretty cheap. Its a shame you can't get them made up cheaper :)

well....that very much depends on which ones you go for....

If you take a deep fixed bucket one like the Forza, they are a real pain in the arse to live with....don't buy something like these for a daily driver unless you really know you want them. On the other hand they are superb at holding you in place :P

On the other hand the reclining ones are more open and wider. So, they don't hold you as tightly but they are much easier to live with :D

Hey Duncan, is Mark saying you got a fat arse mate?.....LOL

Ian

haha he is probably right to...for me I looked at the regular/narrow seats and just laughed :P

Anyway, Mark come out to the UAS day I will have the race car there, I have the forzas in it which are the same width.

midnight, unfortunately I can't get further photos than what are on the site....we don't carry any stock to take pics of, thats how we can do them so cheap :D The Forza in blue/black are mostly blue with black highlights (like the yellow/black on the pics).

I did come across some OBX seats at Autobarn, so you might find them there.....just don't pay their prices ;)

Hey negative.....rails are the biggest problem with aftermarket seats :P

The easiest way I've found is getting a set of the Bride rails, they bolt straight in and the OBX seats bolt straight to them.

Hey mate the seat you tried was a Forza, which is the same width (410mm) as the daytona wide. Unfortunately that is as big as they make the fixed back seats.

If it was too tight there are always the recliners, they still have pretty good support but are roomier for the ample gentleman :D

OBX are great seats, these are awesome value, i have two black monaco seats in my 4dr 32 and they are great for all day driving and track use, and best of all they are on the standard r32 rails and are comfortable for the everyday driving. Good luck with the group buy.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
