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..

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!
