Hey Guys,

Have bought a set of recaro sr3's for my r33. Bought them off a guy that had them in his 33 gtr. Supposedly he bought them off someone who had them in his r33 gtst, so as far as im aware they are going to bolt straight into my car.

But this is where im a bit confused.

The passenger side has a custom fabricated rail attached to the seat (which is fine) Its heavy, which sucks, but it all looks good and im assuming its going to bolt in easy.

Now the drivers side rail is disassembled, the pieces that are included are

1. the slider handle that you pull to move the seat back and forward,

2. the two moving rail parts that run the length of the seats, and

3. two pieces of metal which look like they may be custom fabricated to sit inbetween the rail and the seat (one looks like to attach the seat buckle, and the other must just be to keep the thing even on the other side)

But one thing that ive noticed is that on the passenger seat it has two pieces of metal that run sideways across the bottom of the seat, and there isnt those 2 pieces of metal on the other seat. It looks like the bolt holes line up for the rails and the seat etc, but is it necessary to have those 2 flat plates across lengthways of the seat??

the reason i ask is because my car is at my parents house, and thats 3 hours away, i dont want to drive all the way there to try to put them in and have them not fit.

so would i best to look at some new rails for both seats???

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
