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

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
