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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
