hey all,

I have a 180sx and im looking to upgrade my front seats, to either R33 or R32 GTR seats. As they are a good cheap option.

My question is,

Ive owned a R33 GTR before and i did like the seats but i remember them being quite big and they may look to big and out of place in the small 180sx.

Are the R32 GTR seats smaller? As the 32s as a car are smaller then the 33s?

so yer demensions wise are they shorter? Not as fat etc?

And which seat sits lower 33 or 32??

Thanks guys

Hey mate,

The R32 and R33 GTR front seats are very similar if not identical in size. However, the R33 GTR ones are better looking, contain better material and sit a bit lower than the R32 ones.

A lot of people put R33 GTST seats into their 180sx's ...I suggest you do this too as it's a fair cheaper option plus they're a bit less bulky-looking.

Good luck.

i might be getting rid of my 33r ones soon for brides....

if its a motorsport car gtr seats really dont cut it...

Yes and no. GTR seats will be fine for motorsport purposes. However, because they are comfortable, they are not as 'hugging' or tight as recaro's, Sparco's or Bride's.

Personally, I think R33 GTR seats are the best...great value for your buck, looks great, comfortable and is so grippy.

ever tried track drifting in a gtr seat? i end up with a sore back from using my muscles so much to keep from sliding around the seat

Thanks for the replies...

How much would you be asking for your GTR seats??

Haha well my 'Bum size' is skinny so 32s wouldnt be a prob..

My only thing was i just need lower the better as at 6'3 my head will touch the 180s roof

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
