Hi mate, ive been quoted $80 per rail over here in Melbourne. Its not too expensive. With bigger cars (eg. skylines, commodores etc. etc) you have a bit of room to play with the rails so it is quite easy.

Shipping to Adelaide can hopefully be left under $100 or there abouts.

let me know if you're interested and i'll organise it for you.

P.S Here's a picture of these seats installed in my Exa. (obviously they were retrimmed)

Those generic rails will not go into a skyline.

U need to get second hand recaro or bride rails for an R33 and then modify the bolt holes on those rails to match these seats.

i've got a pair of red ones in my 33 if anyone want pics let me no!

Id really appreciate if you could add pics.

My installation was $80 per seat in my little Nissan Exa so I wouldnt imagine cost would be too much more than that (this was done at a seat retrimmers and wasnt hard at all by the look of it)

cost me $250 a seat they needed new rails on my r33 but my seats came with rails, will get the pics  with in the next to days

All the seats that i have sold and people have installed which include a few silvias, 180's, pulsars, gti-r's, and my exa the installers have used half the universal rails and half your stock rails and just aligned them and welded accordingly. My next car I will do it myself. It really isnt that hard.

Yo Nozilla,

I think those GT Autosound dudes would know where to go. They probably could do it, ill ask em tuesday.

We can go halfs man, save freight. I was going to get passenger, but ill just go for driver, to save money.

u too play cs? hit me us i do as well - cs 1.6/dod. sorry bit off topic.

With regards to seats, i just want opinion on the quality of the material used as "apparently" after quite a bit of use they have cotton ball fluff appearing on them. Not that these do.

oh btw grey, are the seats for wide bums or narrow bums and is the seat tight or not. From the looks of the pics, they are wide.

hey dude i play CS source.. Back on topic i don't think it's does these seats "should" well mine is are made from microfibre so no "fluff balls" their great seats, but should use seats covers as the side of the seats tend to wear out from alll the goin in and out of the seats..

CS Source BOOM Head Shot!!

Doug: "lets go for a jog."

Kyle: "Doug, Why are you holding a knife?"

Doug: "So i can run FASTER.. DEERRR!!" :wassup:

it';s quite comfortable to say the least, sits a bit higher than factory seats(pending on rails i presume), but supports alot better in corners etc.. no problems with it getting engineered and looks hot everyone asks me about my seats, i got'em for a BARGAIN.. so yeah was thinkin about embroidding RECARO on them. lol but nah dun wanna be a poser lol

PS still need some1 wo can upload pics with their phone to show u guys the finished result :D

I rang up willshires today, they said $250 to install per seat. They modify the seats rails to fit the stock ones.

Trying to find out other cheaper places.

If you can do it for $80, can you get them done so that they fit in the R33?

The stock seats rails bolt to the floor at different evevation points and the stock seats go in at an angle into the stock seat rails. The generic seat rails are for a flat floor plan (which the r33 isent). Easiest way to get these seats to fit ur R33 is to get secondhand recaro or sparco rails suited for the r33 and then modify them, otherwise you will never get the seats to sit at the right level or straight.

These are the seats in my car

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
