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 wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
