Cheap OBX Race seats for SAU

[Bullant47]

Hi Duncan, probably interested in a pair of Targas or Torinos. Do you know of anywhere in Sydney or Newcastle where they can be sighted or sat in?

Thanks Duncan

Ian

[Duncan]

no sorry, I still haven't found a place that stocks them in NSW

[benm]

I wanna get an OBX for my work van ...

Edit: speeling

[Duncan]

wtf is an ork van :confused:

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 , 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.....

Duncan generic rails wont work without a bit of custom fabrication as the varied level floor plan on the lines are to be accomodiated for.

[Duncan]

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

[INASNT]

The bride ones new are $295 each hey?

I couldnt find anyone to copy em for less that around $250 each so far, so i havent bothered with the group buy

[Duncan]

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

How comfy are these OBX seats for daily driven car?

[Duncan]

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

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

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

Ian

[Duncan]

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

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 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

[88silhouette]

ok mate no dramas

[negitive]

hey dude can i get a pair of rails to suit my 4door r32gtst?

i need something to fit my monacos on

cheers

[Duncan]

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

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.

[88silhouette]

dunan which is the seat that i tried the other day at oran park

[Duncan]

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

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.
