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.

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 why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
