R33: Bucket Seat Mounting? - Help!

As the topic shows, I am looking for ADR approved seat rails/mounts that will bolt in and R33 to mount a bucket seat.

There are various items on ebay and I have looked through the advertisements on SAU including brands such as IAP seat mounts and Shock systems with a little uncertainty...

I want to mount a bucket seat with bottom mounting points. Just where can I look for an ADR approved rail/ mount or the equivalent?

I live in QLD and have contacted Queensland Transport; given a list of contacts to approve my mounting efforts and in the event of sucess, be rewarded with an LK1 Mod plate.

Guidelines are:

Plates used to match up holes (the difference between the seats mounting points and mounting points on the brackets bolted to the floor - used to bolt them together) made from 4mm flat bar or thicker and ADR approved seat brackets/rail.

I don't really feel like forking out the 200 or so dollars just to find out I can be defected by police or something that won't pass the engineering overlook.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? HELP! :D

Sam.

yeh, tried that mate. All the 'experts' keep telling me I need ADR approved rails and mounts. When looking at the rails and mounts themselves, I have contacted various online sellers with them confirming that they may not even come ADR approved.

I thought the guy that approving the adapter bracket (see above) for the seat, should be able to do the mount/rails at the same time ? :/:wave:

I'll keep looking into it though.

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
