R34 Gtr Front Seats In Gt-t?

[bombtrack]

I have bought a pair of R34 GTR seats for my R34 GTT coupe.

I thought they were going to bolt straight in, especially after helping Joeyjoejoe put R33 GTR seats in his R33 GTS-T. Anyway they didn't. I have managed to get 3 out of 4 bolts in(2 rears, and inside front or 2 fronts and inside rear).

Firstly can anyone point me to a post that deals with this, my searches havent been very successful?

Failing that, can anyone tell me is this meant to be a straight bolt on swap? If not, any ideas on what I need to do to make em fit? If it is, what's going wrong, bent rails or something?

Thanks in advance.

Fancy that, I guess you need GTR rails? or do a swapsies.

PM Alien as he has them in his R34 GTT

Swapsies sounds like a good idea. Should've thought of that myself heh.

Thanks for the help! I will PM Alien for any extra tips. Cheers.

ill take the seats problem solved

[bombtrack]

Noooo waaaaaay!!! I got em cheap cheap too

[Granthem]

how cheap is cheap cheap.

lol if you dont want to give a figure give an indication.

[bombtrack]

In the realms of 1500. Very good nick. I had heard prices as high as 3000 previously. Cheapest I had heard prior to buying these was like 850 a seat.

Love your avatar by the way.

Ok, so the GTT seat rail swap doesn't appear like it's gonna work. The GTT rails are incorporated into the seat. Any other ideas while I wait for a response from Alien?

Cheers.

they arent meant to fit because the rails are different

either get someone to make a set of rails or sell and but east bear ones with BRIDE GTT rails

[bombtrack]

Thanks Dahtone.

Now next question is... who can make me some custom rails? Any clues on who I should speak to?

Cheers.

how are they incorporated? my r34 seats had 4 bolts holding the rail to the seat, they popped off and the rail came off

The seat rails have the four bolts in the bottom of the chair and another 2 bolts each side at the hinge point, i.e. the rails seem to be incorporated with the hinging mechanism. To get the whole thing off I have a total of 8 bolts plus there is a rod going through the back of the seat at the hinge point.

What year do you have? Sedan or Coupe? GTT?

Cheers mate.

Look i rekon you get another peice of metal weld it onto the bit, drill a hole through it and bolt it on.. oh yeah spray it black.

that's a bit odd.

i have R34 GTR seats with R34 GTR rails and it bolts directly into my R33 GTS without an issue.

I am going to have a look over the weekend to check these rails arent bent or whatever , this is shitting me to tears, bloody much harder than it sounds like it should be.

sounds like to me that the rails aren't perpendicular to the car. pull up on the rail adjustment lever and twist and it should be right.

the left and right rails are independent of each other when not bolted to the car. i.e. you can have the left one full forward and the right one full backward.

hey dahtone... you have 'em in your 32 yeah? did they fit that or did you do bride rails as you stated?

[gtst4d]

R34 GTR seats do not fit in a R34 GTT the GTT has a different floor pan to the other skylines but i am shore with a little bit of fabrication you can make it fit. I would just have a bit welded on to the seat rail and then re drilled to suit them.

[Dahtone Racing]

mine are east bear ones with bride rails

gtst4d is correct the R34 GTT has a different floor pan to other skylines

as he said, that would be the easiest way to make it fit ur GTT
