Hey guys,

Trying to find someone who can professionally install my new seats (32 GTR) into my S13.

SiN helped me install the passenger one, but theres one space thats off the mark, im assuming a new hole will need to be drilled etc... but i figured id get em both done properly...

so yeah anyone know a place that do good seat installs?

Cheers guys.

Beau

Haig Park Service Centre 6241 7410 and/or Pride Auto Accesories 6280 6222.

Yellow pages pg 939. Motor Car seats &/or conversions ;)

Tried Haig Park Service Centre and theyre actually roof rack city... :) but they said to call Pride Auto Accesories. gave them a call and was told to take the seats in for an approximate price... got some rough idea's on price... round $500+ doesnt sound cheap... :mad:

Thats how much it cost to get a monza seat mounted in my datsun in custom position with custom rails involving cutting the body to get the seat on the floor and all sorts of jazz. well worth it though as i have a perfectly mounted seat.

I did it with an engineer mate in a backyard over a weekend though and paid for the use of all his tools (inc hoist) and his expertise...

Can you use ideal seat co rails at all, they are really good - they cost though ($550 for the pair in my old car) but you keep the whole factory looking rail and don't need an engineers....

so the only holes that don't line up are the ones that anchor the rear of the seat on the outside ie the ones at the front and the ones that anchor to the trans tunnel are OK?

if that's the case just take them to a fabricator and tell them what you need, find someone in the yellow pages that does jobbing work ie small stuff. they will want to know the distance between the hole in the seat leg and the hole in the floor, centre to centre. also tell them you want about 10mm metal around the new hole.

and make sure you use big ass washers - 20mm diam or so - under the mounting bolts because you don't want them to rip through the anchors. get them from specialty fasteners in Fyshwick.

let us know how you go.

alternatively, have a look and you'll see the runners are probably rivetted to the frame. figure out how far back the runner needs to go, and have a close look at how they are riveted. i did this when doing a conversion and there just happened to be unused holes that lined up perfectly if i drilled out the rivets and moved the runners back. i used bolts to hold it together, had it welded in the new place and it was perfect.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
