Hi all,

Just want to know definatly about changing seats in a r32 gtst.

I was told the other day that ANY japanese car seat will fit into my r32..

I know it would fit If I paid heaps for new rails etc, but would say 200sx/wrx seats fit rails and just be a straight swap????

Any experience? Advice? cause I do want to change seats but not send a fortune.

Thanks

No rails are a straight swap.

You will have to buy some bride or other seats rails specific for the skyline as the stock rails wont work on after market seats, as i tried on my r33 which has the same floor plan under the seat area.

Check my sig for the group buy on r31-r33 rails, which has gone abit stale since i have to find a new company to make em and i havent got back positive numbers on how many want em

Any seats can be made to fit, just as long as they are not too wide or tall for your car. You just need to find someone handy who can modify the rails on the seats you buy, or adapt the rails from your existing seats to suit!

Its not bodging up the rails INASNT, its modifying them - (it also helps if your old man in a boiler maker by trade!) :D Its also a matter whether this is legal or not. But any seats that are changed for the standard ones need engineering anyhow.

I'm not trying to take business away from you, far from it. Just passing general comment on past experiences.

going from nissan to nissan seats in an import isn't that difficult.. its just where you are going from a different manufacturer or "generic" seats.. etc. As each car has different bolt locations, sometimes heights, angles, etc..

Its not something you want to "dodge" with welding and stuff, if you have an accident you might find yourself through the windscreen, still attached to your seat. The seatbelt wont help much either.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
