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.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
