The "Bride" seats are cheap chinese "knock-off's" not genuine and quite unsafe in an accident situation.

If that is the case, I have no idea how i got all genuine Bride papers along with the receipts from the previous owner, who built the car.

I inspected everything when i purchased the car, and found no indication that they were of any inferior branding or manufacturing standard. Not only that, I have spent countless hours in them and find them to be the most comfortable seat i have had in any of my modified cars.

Assuming they are not Bride seats, as you so claim from a photo, i can find no reason why they would be quite unsafe in an accident situation. The build quality of the Seats, Genuine Bride rails and Nissan seatbelts fitted to my vehicle are structurally sound and offer no indication they could react in a dangerous manner in an accident situaition. If you would like to inspect them yourself, feel free to email me.

If you are genuinely interested in purchasing my car, I will sell it to you without the seats and adjust the price accordingly.

Your input is greatly appreciated.

The "bride" seats you have have a round recliner adjuster...the bride's are triangle...there should also be a bride branding tag with the bride logo and the words "holding monster" sticking out the rear RH seam of the seat. Also the incorrect font for the word BRIDE on the headrests has been used and finally BRIDE have never used a mesh overlay cloth to trim the centre of their seats. The seats you have are so inferior structually to the BRIDE seats that they would never pass in a crash test or structural stress test.

How do i know all this...I know the guy who imported all those seats and have inspected them...they are crap!

I have also owned several sets of BRIDES and know how well they are made compared to them.

They are indeed copies and are not a patch on the real thing.

Not having a go at you, as im sure you have been misled, just informing a potential purchaser so they do not get caught as you have.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.

      I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.

      I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
