Woohoo!  When will the Preordered ones be sent out?

Hi mate, they will be dispatched asap, we have pile of seats almost factory roof high so the boys are working overtime to sort through and get orders processed as quickly as possible.

If you wish to check the status of your order, please feel free to give Trevor a call on (02) 9545 0532.

Cheers,

hi do you know if these will fit into a VT commodore? i got a friend that is interested in the seats but hes got a commo,

also is there a place you can recommend that can install these seats?

There is no reason they shouldnt fit, as they are designed as a universal seat.

If you call our staff in store they may be able to point you in the right direction in terms of fitting, however we normally recommend going to a competant workshop/fabricator to have this done.

Hey,

Has anyone had these fitted yet?? If so how much to fit and where abouts?? There are suppose to be correct fitting rails being made to custom fit the skylines but cant get an answer as to how long theses will take so want to know where to get these fitted correctly,

Thanks for your help

I've read all of this and i cant work out if these re-use the stock rails or do you modify the rails on these seats to fit?

Hi mate, these seats include universal type rails that need to be modified and adapted to your existing seat rails in order to fit - This is something we recommend having done b y a competant workshop or fabricator.

Yes, but i think the question is more a long these lines

- do we hack up the stock rails and the universal rails and weld em together, or do we just hack up the universal rails ?

its up to the workshop that does the work, generally they would leave the standard rails alone so you can refit/sell the standard seat and fabricate mounts for the generic rail instead.

Yes, but i think the question is more a long these lines

- do we hack up the stock rails and the universal rails and weld em together, or do we just hack up the universal rails ?

thankyou!

Yeh I cant re-use my stock rails as I was defected for them (too worn and loose) but a set of these might solve my problem if they have their own rails that can be adapted to fit :)

As per the above, yes you need to modify the included universal rails, and adapt/weld them to your current rails in order to bolt them in.

Hi Steve,

I emailed trev during the week about getting 2 pairs of seats sent to Perth. Your post says shipping is $125/pair and I was hoping to save a few $$ by shipping 2 pairs. He said the best price he could do was $290! Do you think its possible that he meant $190 (which sounds more reasonable) - considering ordering 2 separate sets would only be $250.

Hi JK, It sounds like there might have been a slight misunderstanding!

Shipping on the seats is expensive due to their sheer size so there is no real saving to be made by shipping a couple of pairs at one time. The charge we include for post is the freight cost to us and WA is one of the more pricey freight destinations considering we are in Sydney.

Never the less we will work something out for you - I will confirm when we reopen Tuesday and work out a package price for 4 sets to you.

Cheers,

Steve

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
