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

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
