Bride + low mount rail = epic win.

I look like a little kid sitting in my car with a Bride Brix (recliner) and superlow rail in there, but theres so much head room even with a helmet on. Also, being a drift orientated seat, they are designed to hold you in place during crazy transitions, nothing short of rolling the car will see you move in the seat (my leg didn't even hit the trans tunnel when I crashed, and I was doing at least 50 kays backwards when I hit :))

Only bad thing about my Bride is it's a right pain in the arse to get in and out of, the side bolsters are so goddam high :P

as for helmets.........in a car, $50 (open face) at Hyperformance Cycles............on a bike, consider spending up to 10 times that amount

Face face might be better in the event of a crash, but if you're tight for $, then an open face will do for now.

Peter Stevens in the city have a huge range of lids.

If you're after a race seat, will you also need a harness?

Nah, coz I only want to get a racing seat just for the fact that i'll able to mount it lower and give me a bit more head room.

But I was just thinking, Does anyone know if it's possible to put 34gtr seats in a 32? Spose i'd have to get different rails....

I got a pair of brand new Velo's for my car. They're on Jacobson Crst. Holden hill. They have every seat they make available for testing in the showroom.

They're also ADR approved, my car went through regency with them without a problem. They also do ADR approved harnesses.

Not sure on retail. The guys there are good mates. If you tell Adrian that Kevin sent you, he might look after you, or charge you more for knowing a knob like me :(

And cheers, I need someone to buy it though :(

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
