R32gtr Seat Into R33gtst /somethings Wrong!

[madaz R33]

got a r32 gtr seat sent over from Melb (im from Tas) totally stoked, that was until i tried to fit it up! when i looked at the seat the rails seemed to be slightly bent in but i assumed that was ok as i had not pulled my old seat out and had a look, went to bolt it up the rail closest to the door sat fine but the inside rail closest to the console doesnt go anywhere near the bolt hole, appears bent inwards, havent spoken to the former owner or the freight company yet as i fear someone has farked it up along the way, got a mate coming over in the next couple of days to have a look, but im assuming it is farked, heres a couple of shots, its just bent to buggery!! before i purchused it i did a search on forums and checked out if the bolt patterens were the same it it says it is, any thoughts?

I have r33 gtst seats in my r32. Bolt in sweet.

The base where the rails attach on your seat there is bent to buggery.

My seats were out of a car that went sideways into a non-moving object, so had to repair the base on the passengers. Fairly easy to strip down and repair.

Hopefully the back isn't bent as well otherwise you'll have a fun time trying to get it all straight again, and because it has already been bent and restraightened, the metal will be weaker..

My opinion....

I for one would be asking some pointed questions of the bloke who sold you the seat. Like how hard he was hit when the car got pummelled on the passenger side.

That seat looks for all the world like it was involved in a major side impact. Be careful before you use it for anything.

now that i have some input, its time to weigh things up, the more i look at it the more pissed i get hmpff! has anyone transfered the rails setup from a r33gtst seat onto a gtr seat? would this be difficult? doesnt look easy to me , plus i have to dismantle my perfectly good r33 seat, maybe someone has a seat that is shagged and rails are still good that i could buy off em? wishful thinkin!

Considering that is the left side of the drivers seat as well..
