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 am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
