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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      That's the thing....the basics of fuel and ignition are deceptively simple.....getting it to behave like factory in all conditions after airflow mods is way more complex. Newer cars like the V37 are all about modifying the standard ECU which is about a billion times more complex than they were 20 years ago, with a bunch of parameters affecting others

      The larger TB I had on the SS was a pain to get to idle right, but, that was cable In the end they just raised the idle up a couple of hundred RPM so it was happy idling away either in gear or in park (slush box life) I'm curious on how my NC will idle with the new intake, larger TB, and cams that are currently going in/on, but I have faith that MX5 Mania will sort this "electronical" "black magic" out the best they can in the tune with a electronic TB Sometimes I wish I knew more about the intricacies of tuning, but most of the time I don't because I know it would hurt my brain 🤣

      That's the thing. Cam is smaller than before.. though the old cam was +6 degrees advanced. We're talking huge changes here, the narrowbands want to trim out 20% of fuel and pull the (wideband) idle to like 16.0 AFR or such. One side is a little more trimmy than the other. Think along the lines of ~20% to ~15-18%. Unfortunately my scouring of the internet hasn't really found anyone with this issue. People either just disable NB's or have them wildly different, where one is -20% and the other is +20 or 0 (i.e a sensor is just dead/wiring is just busted). Turning them off and relying on the base map only results in the wideband reporting at about 14.0 with the Varex closed. It'd be a little leaner (closer to 14.7ish) with the Varex open. I know I can just change the switch points so that the narrowbands agree with the wideband, but it's still odd. Both of them are reading voltage, it's just that they're reading quite high mv, in the ~800 region. It's just odd. This was with the IAT fudged to report it was about ~22 degrees which is my guesstimation of the temperature in the room. I have an OEM sensor ready to try tonight, which is slow and crap - but .. worked last time I used it. Sadly I am aware that idle tuning with the big TB is going to be a PITA and I look 'forward' to many hours spent stalling or stumbling idle or delving into drivability things.

      Probably the cam.

      The GTR strut brace clears the new manifold.. by about 0.5mm. So this means I need to buy an OEM GTT Strut brace (again), which will clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. I guess I can sell the GTR Strut brace with the bonnet with the vents as a package deal as someone will need this one day. So my choices are vented bonnet but no strut brace, or GTR Bonnet with OEM brace (which I have to buy) but is bright red instead of the same colour as the rest of the car, which means the entire front end of the car will just be red until it goes back to paint jail. In other news the engine starts and doesn't leak. Why both O2 narrowband sensors think the tune is rich AF I do not know. The idle is also pretty shitty and my expensive IAT sensor from the USA is dead. The car sounds awful. But I assume or at least hope this is due to the many exhaust leaks, and the concrete garage it is in, sitting there with 0 intake bolted to it, and no bonnet or panels or anything to stop the induction/intake sound which is about 200db.
