I was thinking of buying the Recaro style seats from Just Jap, for my Skyline r33 ser.2. But I'm hesitant! Dey advertise dat the railings are universal, but yet dey say it will not bolt on to any car!

Dis is their advice:

To successfully fit these seats into your car, i will need to make a bracket to adapt these rails to your floor. Otherwise you can adapt your standard seat rails to this seat.

Now has anybody put these their skyline r33? what do i need to do? make a bracket? or adapt standard seat rails to the seat...but how? Worth getting?

HELP PLEASE! :D

Yeah you need to make custom brackets that bolt from the universal rail to the bolting locations aswell as making a bracket for seatbelt buckle.

They are nowhere near as good as 'real' ones and don't hug you as much if at all.

Get genuine recaro/bride or GTR seats, can't go wrong with them and less headache as they will bolt directly in.

I've also read, it is better to buy the bride rail and just drill 2 holes to fit the recaro seats! Because the bride rails bolt on to the skyline rite? Is this tru? If so i'll go buy these INSTANTLY!

I use to have the Recaro copies in my car, surprisely they're actually more comfortable than my bride ergo.

You could buy bride rails and redrill to fit... easier and quicker

Cheers fro the help guys!

Access Autoworks r selling Bride rails on ebay!

I asked them if these come as a pair... they haven't replied! Does any body noe if dey r? Or can I get these rails some other place?

I'm running a bride rail with a Spaco Pro 2000, had to modify the rail (drilling holes) to fit it =) still wasn't to much of a hassel.

I'd go a real seat over a "copy" anyday i've sat in them and there just not the same.

D does not replace the letter "th" when positioned next to eachother :blink:

I've been thinking about them too. I only live 2 mins away from Just Jap and have seen them and they feel reasonable quality. I've been thinking about it myself instead of a retrim.

I finally bought these recaro style seats from just jap!! their comfy as!! Now i have to put them in the car. When I get the bride rails, where exactly do I drill the two holes?

i had a set of the justjap recaro copies and didnt like them. Cant compare to genuine ones as they dont provide as much support from the sides. But for the price you cant complain. If you want good seats for track get genuine ones but these are fine for the street.

As for mounting... dont mount on a standard rail as they will sit too high. The universal rails they give you are pretty much useless without fabrication and welding.

Getting a bride low mount rail and modifying that would be the best thing.

I went into JustJap today to check these seats out and was fairly happy with them. i'm replacing the seats in my 32 GTR because i find them uncomfortable and don't support my back properly, and the Bride copies on display seemed a pretty good fit. Has anyone found these seats to degrade quickly? the material seems ok but I wonder if it'll hold up over time. Also, as far as rails are concerned, how much am I looking at spending on a set, and who do you guys recommend?

The rails go for ~150 per side second hand. I heard auto technica make bolt on rails now and they are also ~150 brand new.

As for the seats, IMHO I wouldnt stick some copy seats in a GTR, i would rather go for a set of 33 or 34 GTR seats. I think just jap had a nice set of 33 GTR seats for $900, which isnt far off what your going to need to spend ie $400 for the seats and $300 for the rails. Also in terms of material quality even my friends genuine Bride's in really good condition have been UV affected, they have faded on the top section closest to the window. Also found his Bride Ergo's to be too firm(good for the track) but for everyday use i would much prefer my 33 GTR seats

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
