do these seats have a quick release to recline the chair forward or do u have to sit there and manually recline it to get access to the back

cheers

Hi mate, we have both lever type and winder type available - the mechanism type varies according to the colour seats - some use winder and some use the lever mechanism

We are awaiting out shipment to clarify the specifics

Cheers,

Steve

  • 2 weeks later...

Not sure if this has been asked, but any chance of just getting a passenger seat? Got a brix II for the drivers seat and want a matching passenger seat of the same shape, cheers.

Dynamix, we can sell the seats individually, though they are $225 each.

Cheers,

Steve

Just want 2 know if any1 has installed these seats and want 2 know if they sit higher up then standard seats, as im 6 foot and have limited head room already.

These seats use quality material and similar steel frame to our existing range of sports seats and therefore are all ADR approved.

Hi, do you have any black/black ones left?

You said they are ADR approved, can you please tell me which ADRs they comply with? Also, all ADR compliant items have a registration number issued against them. Can you please quote the ADR reg number for these seats so I can verify it through the Dept of Regional and Transport Services who issue them. All I have to do is quote the number and they will verify that the item has ADR approval. This is common practice for ADR compliant safety related items.

As you know ADR approval is important so that people don't end up with 2 broken femurs or worse because the seat failed in an accident. This is a great deal, just want to do my homework before I order some though because crash safety is important and that's what ADR compliance checks on.

Kind regards

Hi mate, no worries at all.

Give Darron a call in the store on (02) 9545 0532 and he will confirm the ADR details you are after.

We sent our sample seats away for expensive testing, something that virtualy nobody else who is selling similar seats has done, so we wont be posting the specifics of the ADR testing on the forum itself.

What we are doing however, if giving customers who request it, a copy of the relevant ADR paperwork when they purchase their seats for verification.

If you have any further questions, dont hesitate to ask.

As mentioned, give us a call and either speak to me or to Darron and we will be more than happy to assist you.

Regards,

Steve

Thanks Steve, I'm impressed that you have taken the time and spent the money as the dodgy sellers won't - as you'd be aware, the the claim of 'ADR compliant' often fails under scrutiny. Just hate the thought of people being injured. The specifics of the testing are in the relevant ADRs for car seats so I don't expect you to post them, however if you can please post just the ADR registration number it means I and other buyers can verify with DOTARS that they are ADR compliant and have peace of mind regarding their crash worthiness (saves you the paperwork too). It's just a matter of calling them for the independant verification and then I can place my order.

Cheers

Thanks mate, and your entirely correct. Many other sellers claim their seats are "ADR Compliant" which is vastly different to a seat that is ADR approved.

For the peace of mind of our customers, we have had our seats put through the vigorous testing process to obtain the ADR approval.

This makes life a lot easier.

Regarding the actual ADR approval numbers, as I mention please contact us for these direct as Darron has this information.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Steve,

How far off are the seats???????

Thanks

Hi mate, the ETA at this stage is the 10th for the arrival of the container into our store.

We are hoping this doesnt change but unfortunately with all the shipping chaos around the ports at the moment, its hard to say for sure.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Steve,

I called Darron and he gave me a number. Unfortunately neither DOTARS nor the RTA recognised it. They also advised that the only way a seat can be ADR approved is for it to be either crash tested or inspected by an engineer, but in both cases it must be while the seat is fitted to a car and then the seat is only ADR approved for use with that specific model. The RTA then issue a 'no objection' letter in which they state that they have 'no objection' to the seat being fitted to that specific model. A consulting engineer who does inspections has verified this. In other words if I have the seat inspected and ADR approved in a Skyline, I can't assume that the same seat is ADR approved for use in a Silvia. Similarly you can't say a seat from a Focus is ADR approved when fitted to a Falcon, even though they may have past tests or inspection when fitted to their original vehicles. This is largely because the numerous relevant ADRs encompass not just seats but anchorages and head restraints also.

Both the RTA and the engineer told me that while seats alone could be tested ie have g forces etc applied to the point of failure at various load points, this would only result in a certificate that specified what tests were done and how, not that it complies with ADRs - as previously mentioned the seat needs to be fitted to a vehicle for that and then the approval is vehicle specific. Can you please advise exactly how these seats are ADR complied and for what, as right now it's a little confusing although the position taken by DOTARS and the RTA seems clear. Feel free to make your own enquiries to corroborate what I've found out.

Thanks

Please give me a call directly regarding this on (02) 9545 0532 tommorrow rather than questioning our products further here.

I need to confirm how DOTARS and the RTA fit into this, but what I know is we have all the ADR Approval paperwork, which also shows the results of the vigorous testing that the seats endure to gain the ADR approval.

Seats are engineered all the time when fitted to different vehicles. Engineering the seats in your particular car is something that you yourself may choose to undertake.

What we are selling, are ADR approved seats. Wether or not our customers fit them correctly or not is another issue all together.

We recommend all customers have their seats fitted by a competant workshop and have an engineer sign off on the installation to ensure compliance.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
