R34 Seat Lowering? Modify The Rail Or The Cushion?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Ive got an R34 and being a tall driver, theres not much head room. Have to put the seat right back.

Its a shame because I love the car, just want to fix this problem. Check out a new sport seat and rail and quite expensive.

Anyone out there with the same problem?

Has anyone ripped the cushion out and tried to reduce the padding to lower the seat? Or fabricated new rails to fit the stock seat.

I got quoted around $400 at a panelbeater shop for the rail modification to drop it down about an inch.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

panel beater is your best bet ..but $400 seems a bit excessive, $200-300 tops I reckon as it's not more than 2-3 hours work if done properly. This is something I need to get done eventually also as I'm tall

If i could get a hold of a 34 drivers seat i could fix the problem a lot cheaper than that for you guys, but there's just no seats around that i can get that wont cost me a fortune.

unless i do exchange ones.

yeah that would be great.

You could do an exchange program or something. I cant believe no companies out there are tapping into this market. I think they would get a lot of business.

add me to the list of annoyed R34 drivers,, too tall and sunroof model makes it worse not better

anyone know if east bear superlow rails work good ? ADR ?

just about ready to buy anything and take my chances on defects... damn Adelaide Design Rules... Pulled out of thin air I think..lol

gtr seats are meant to be lower, iirc

ive got a 33 gtst and the stock seat was pretty high as well.

i moved to a drift blade (r34 gtr / east bear style) seat with no rail. all under $600

you cant move it, but it damn low.

only way you could go much lower is a fixed back with side mounting.

ive heard of something like this, guy got the bottom half of seat chopped, took half the coushion out and got retrimmed, it worked,, you should look into that =]

    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
    • No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party
    • If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
    • I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.
    • Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
