Hey guys...

LoLz...one of my m8s has decided to (and actually purchased) a GTR from japan. It looks clean from the outside......but its seats look like the R32 Four Doors! Pretty ugly! He sent me these pics.

I'm guessing something went wrong and the owner fitted in GTST seats, OR it was some sort of whacked factory option????

WTH????

definetly a gtr, probably had aftermarket seats and the owner has kept them, rather than buying gtr seats to put back in he has gone for the cheaper option.

There is no way you would go to the trouble of changing a gts4, guards, spoilers, motor etc then be a tight arse and not change the seats

Yeah i think its a seat downgrade if anything.

I mean the dash looks the same as well! It's even got the 3 battery voltage, oil temp and boost tachos in the middle!!

Probably sold the car with cheaper seats. By the way those aren't normal GTST seats, those are the 4 door seats (normal GTST seats are a sorty of browny colour, but the seat material isn't the similar to the 180/Silvia as is the case here)........i think they're EVEN cheaper than standard GTST seats. So unless the car was initially a four door, then transformed into a coupe, its a GTR.......i think?

the rear guards seem to jut out a lil just like a real GTR. I can see some shiny metal which resembles an intercooler. Also there's R34 pedals on the car if no one noticed :D Also the door trim is velour, wheras the seats are poverty model. The back seat has the contour in the middle of a GTR seat (and no headrests like in a regular GTS/GTSt/GTS4/GTE/GXi).

My conclusion... the previous owner had bucket seats in the car, didn't wanna part with em, so he took em out and put the cheapest seats he could find that bolted directly in. Some guys get their bucket seats custom made to the contour of their backs, so they don't like getting rid of em that easily.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
