so as long as the seats are ADR approved then they are legal??

...<snip>

As I said before, the rails have to be approved too. No good having an ADR approved seats if the rails they're bolted to won't hold up in a crash, that would probably do as much damage as having a dud seat.

I know JustJap's latest range of seats they're bringing in have undergone testing and have ADR approval. This was raised on a thread in NS, Steve initially showed the certificate then removed it for competition reasons. But he was willing to provide the ADR approval number on request.

okay thanks. this has been a grey area for me for ever.

so wht do you need to do to get the rails approved?? get them engineered?? is it expensive to get engineered?

hahah actually I wrote a post about this but can't see it in the thread....so either teh interweb let me down or there is a wierd post in some other thread lol

Anyway....you can't have fixed back seats in a 2 door 4 seat car.

Fixed backs are OK for 2 seat 2 door or 4 seat 4 door cars.

And finally the only way I know of to get legal rails in a skyline is to have them engineered. The recaro and sparco ones need modification to fit so they would no longer be legal without engineering. And AFAIK the bride rails are bolt in but not ADR approved so they would need engineering too.

I don't want to encourage law breaking, and it is super important to have strong safe rails, but frankly the rails under a seat are pretty unlikely to get spotted by a cop as illegal :blink:

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
