Guys, I am going to have to cancel this meet all togather. I was suppose to nbe in NZ now on hoildays but due to ash cloud and cancelled flights, I have had to move my trip back a week. So I actually will not be back until the 11th July. Plus I wont have my car back from the workshop either due to leaving later. Will look at re scheduling later in July or eraly August I was planning on going to qld sau drag day end of July to race again. If people are intersted, could combine a meet and finish there to either watch or join in???

I think I have a (very) bent one sitting in the trailer ready for the tip Be good enough to get the profile from. Not easy removing them without bending them, but can be done My f/glass ones are just about ready to be painted.

The cuga and gias/stradia only come in one size. I can measure the ones I have tomorrow Just note that the Gais and Stradia copies are similar to the genuine sport version with steel frame, not alloy.

Looking at the sample seat I am pretty sure it is the Gias 2 with high sides on base comparing the pics on the Bride site. I believe they have fitted the wrong sticker http://translate.google.com.au/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bride-jp.com%2F&sl=ja&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8 They sell both Gais and Stradia styles No Carbon or kevlar samples. I have a pic of both their seats for reference thuo I will pm you re harness

s/hand harness and ECU $225 Brand new harness $400 plus $75 for s/hand ecu. Pick up in Brisbane

Actually out of a RS4S, same as 260rs thuo. You can use a R33 GTS (non turbo) IE no hicas rack to worry about, same as S14, S15 GTST has hicas which you don't want so just adds more expense to fit a removal bar

All info in stagea section Mine cost me $4.5K in parts, labour free (me) plus painting Full drive in drive out would be $6-7K

I think he means "Front" R33 and r34 will fit the front The rear is totally different

Good idea southside hills...only leaves Tambo or back of Goldy......need a plan....I will have alook at google No Dyno. I spoke with EFI. It is too hard to drop front shafts on the day etc etc. and not enough numbers anyway. We would be lucky to have had 5 or 6 My car goes into EFI on Wednesday for 11 days while I am in NZ getting another bigger clutch and a retune from 16 to 20psi

I have fitted them from new. Sydneykid supply. Forked rears Had extra 3-4 groves fitted feront and rear, but cant use them as fornt platform hits the supsension arm and rears hit the tyres if too low. In saying that I run at approx 320-325mm ride height anyway. Fairly low. I have lowered Kings springs as well at approx only 4 KG Fronts are R33 GTR fronts, rears are r32 GTR "fronts" installed upside down, as per Sydneykids recommendations (I think that is right) I find the combo fairly harsh on rough roads (Brisbane has plenty on 80km round trip every day)

+2....I'd like to know as well.......does anyone know what is going on around here

Style 2. Back materail, ie F/G or Carbon, kevlar, Glitter F/G 3. Materail Colour 4. Pick up Brisbane or Post (Use transdirect for OZ wide delivery quote) Some question and answerS from first thread and fine print. PLEASE READ 1. You will need either make up brackets to use the rails supplied or buy Bride specific rails to suit the model seat you have purchased. The mounting bolt centers differ between different model seats 2. The fibreglass, carbon or kevlar seats will be all approx the same weight, as the carbon and kevlar options are just for show 3. Seats weights are approx 14-16kgs for recliners. fixed approx 12-14kg 4. Gias and Gais 2 are the same seat, but the Gias 2 has a revised updated adjusting knob (star opposed to triangle) which is a quick release to either adjust back or quick flip forward. The older Gias with triangle knob needs to be wound to adjust and there is a seperate bar at rear of seat to flip forward 5. Seat belt buckle fixes the the bride seat rails not the seats. Keep this in mind if you slect fixed back bucket seats, as it hard to reach to fix seat belt plus the seat belt does not hold you in correctly. Fixed back seats are best used with harnesses and are not suitable (legal) in car the 2 doors and back seat fitted 6. Bare in mind the seats are copies and very close cosmetically to the orginals. All seats are not ADR approved and to be used at your own risk etc etc. 7. There is no warranty provided and quality and finish may differ to what you expect. I haVe received sample seats as per pic's provided, so make you own judgment. The quality was better than exspected. 8. Refer to the Bride site for mounting bolt centre and rail model selection. 9. Seats are moulded from originals, so shape and seating height will be same as originals

Kawasaki man is referring to r34gtr seats, so recliners not full buckets, hence my reply. I think we are all getting confussed with what he wants.

Are you wanting and talking about full buckets or recliners? Recliners will be fine with standard selt belts, but you will have issues with full buckets and standard seat belts.

The seat belt buckle mounts on the rail, not to the side of the seat, so they will work fine. No need to use a racing harness. I can get copy Bride or Takara 4 or 5 point racing harness's if any wants.

I will be home tomorrow I can weigh the sample seats. I do not think there will any weight difference between the F/g, carbon or kevlar, as the are all wet laid . The carbon or kevlar or just for show. Payment needs to be cash as I have to transfer payment to o/sea supplier in China. Could do paypal, so could use payal if you pay the fees. Seats will need to use genuine Bride railings to suit the model seat you pick. The Gias and the Cuga for example have different mounting bolts centre. The seatings come with basic sliding rails, so unless you can make your own mounting brackets to suit they will be no use. SAAS I think make some rails to suit so you can use the supplied rails. I will see if I can find out some more info. If someone onlys wants a single seat, still register your interest, as I might buy the matching pair.

Monday night is deadline for dyno numbers. otherwise it is cancelled. Where ate all the Queeensland stagea owners gone?

The samples arrived today via EMS freight ($600) and all I can say is the quality and finish is VERY VERY good. Gias 2 is complete with all logos and stickers, engraved name up side etc. Cuga has engraved logo up the side. All stiching is perfect and straight etc. I can not fault them. I will post detailed photo's tomorrow night with NEW CHEAPER pricing, mainly the freight cost. May start a new thread as I can not edit the first post. Stay tuned.

I wish check with EFI tomorrow about the drive shaft remova I will have do mine at home before hand as I can't get my car on a hoist easily. Micah, is Myles coming for sure? I will chase everyone tomorrow via pm to confirm numbers. We WILL have to pay extra if we don't get 15. $600 min cost to book the dyno which is fair enough . Micah pm me for z32 afm's. I know someone with cheap brand new aftermarket ones

My clutch is stuffed as well. No boost in 4th or 5th otherwise it slips NPC do a good job, have used them before I currently have a 300rwkw rated 3000lb isngle in there now which I had built by Race clutch - Jim Berry If you have a look in the trnsmission section there is a sticky on Jim's clutches plenty feedback In saying that, mine has died (due to miss use) It will be coming out soon and being rebuilt to approx 4200lb and good for 400awkw with a sprung carbonic clutch plate. Plenty GTR guys running them with 400awkw and totally street drivable Stagea are heavy and hard to launch without frying the clutch, so pick something on the higher side. If keeping your car stock and driven normally, a off the shelf exceedy will do. Note stagea's use a pull type same as R33 gtr and R34 GTT

6-7 at the best
