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.

Hey VIP32 did you have to modify your standard rails at all???

Cheers B

$500 for 410mm wide seat

duncster can you tell me what the difference is with these seats

cxan obviously sere a visually difference in the seat padding. but what exactly?

also when can i come and grab your forza seat so i can test try it on my 4door. bloody rollcage makes things particularly tight in that car.

sure mate, the Forza have padding instead of material on the corners on the seat where the wear happens (the black parts in the pic)

It also has a cusion in the base of the seat which the daytona doesn't have.

I picked the forza myself I think it is a better deal considering the similar price.

My car is dead atm so I can grab the passenger seat next time Im near it....ill give you a call

I'm just on the 2metre tall mark and want to make the seat lower in my r33 (I believe the sunroof makes matters worse for the head room) is there another (cheaper easier) option other than replacing the seat and rail?

nope! you can't lower the standard seat substantially without changing the rails - the floor is really unflat (I just invented a word) and the standard rails are pretty high. But even with low style aftermarket rails you'll only get a few cm back.

sorry mate I've never run a tape measure over them - and it depends on what rails you get.

I've just swapped to bride super low rails with these seats in my race car to get a little more room.

They are better than standard that's for sure

I would like some seats, such a great price for the pair. I would like the Carrera style as I think they look pretty hot. I also need some rails, looking to get more headroom with the helmet, any suggestions - I have a R33 GTST.

Cheers

Chris. also pm sent with same message...

sorry for the delay, pm replied!

regarding rails, you can either grab a set of bolt in skyline rails like bride (about $250 a side), or use generic rails and get a workshop to fabricate the proper mounts. I use the bride low mount rails because I have the same issue with not enough helmet room, they are about the lowest sliding rails I've seen.

Of course if you don't need the seats to move you can go 2cm lower by re-inforcing, and then bolting them to the floor. only if the car is a 2 seater of course.

Inline with GB rules about having a start & end date - this is now closed.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Th...Gro-t81129.html

SAU is clamping down on these GB's that never occur, never end, and so on.

PM me if you have a problem. However, before you PM me think about this.

A group buy, is a group of people buying the product together to lower the price.

Buying single units here and there is not what constitutes a GROUP BUY

Thanks

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
