I'm pretty sure they are all slightly different. Why do you ask? 9 mins after you sign up :D . Welcome to Skylines Australia mate.

Yeah, the question was the reason I joined.

Reason I ask is because the R34 front seats and seat rails are a very easy fit into some older Falcons (exact same width, just cut and weld the end mounts) - looking for a replacment set of seats for the front of my supercharged EF XR6 - the Skyline seats would be cheap to buy, sporty type seat while still matching the factory interior somewhat, and they're thinner and lower than the factory Falcon seats meaning more interior space.

It would be easier to find a pair with the rails if the older Skylines and other Nissans etc. were the same as they'd be more options.

Yeh, I though so :D . Nah, I'm pretty sure they are all slightly different, but can be modified slightly to fit. And while your here, why not convert to the dark side of Jap Imports? :O

I'd have a Skyline in a second if they came in wagons, could tow my boat, fit 5 people (adults) in it (comfortably for a 200km trip) and a bootful of what nots. There's no doubting it that they're good cars, good bang for buck. But the Falcon just has the practicality at the moment.

Here is a link to a comprehensive seat compatibility thread between silvias/skylines/cefiros...

Although it claims the R34 rails are 100% compatible, i have noticed that bride list the r34 rails with a different part number so i wouldn't count on it.

Cheers for that Howie. Even if there is some difference, that kind of indicates that R32/3/4 are all very similiair, which is fine since I had to do some choping and welding on the rails already to fit them into the Falcoon.

I guess my next question is what is the differences like between the front seats of the R32/3/4? I.e. in styling and comfort? Is there variences between the different models to (i.e. GTR and GTS?)? Just wondering if there's 1 in particular that I should look for. The actual patern and material is of no concern to me as I've got to recover them to match the back seats anyhow.

That site also indicates that Silvia seats are also very similiar in the seat rails. Any idea what these are like compared to the Skyline seats?

Thanks for the info so far guys.

P.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Stagea - doesn't look bad. I bet they're a lot harder to find than my Coon and prolly a lot dearer too!

Slightly, however you get money back for the Stag! And I've worked on many, many, many, many falcons, and my skyline. Skylines don't piss oil :thumbsup:

Personally I've sat in an R33, R34 and S13. I'd say the R34 is the most comfortable.

These are out of an R32 GTR:

No good to me as I specifically want removable headrests - hence why I'm looking at factory seats as it's hard to find aftermarket sports seats with removable headrests.

They look good - nice big side peices.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.

      Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.

      About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
