ok ppl i have a dilemna

i need to buy a pair of seats for my r34

i had bride ergo 2 in black leather and i loved them, however i have sold them now to get fixed backs and they need to be FIA approved for drag and circuit work.

i have a set of sparco evo's at home which are nice but id prefer to keep them for another project im starting soon.

Depends on whether you are a big guy or not, the Sparco will fit a larger frame where as the Zeta III is pretty damn tight. I'm a fairly slim guy and even I found the Zeta III to be borderline to tight. Best bet would be to try and have a sit in both and see for yourself what you think.

Lol 30-32 depending on the jeans.

This is when it was fitted in my car for a while because my mates car was off the road so he let me borrow it. Don't get me wrong it transforms the way you drive, you are so snug in it you feel every little thing the car does. It's just bloody tight and made for a small frame.

Get the BRIDEs cos its a street car. My mate has an OMP seat similar to the SPARCO in his drift car, and before it was derego'd it was a flamin mongrel to drive on the road cos you couldnt see a damn thing out the side. Its perfect now its a dedicated race car, but for the road its crap.

if you are a bigger guy.... look at a velo GP90, or if you wanna splash the the cash, a podium :) then come in L, XL and XXL

the zeta 3 even inthe large size is a small ass seat!

i dont really care about the adr approval as long as it is fia approved is all that matters to me.

those velo seats look terrible .... they wont do for my car.

joeyjoejoe...im not that big in the waist size 33ish but i have huge shoulders so i dont mind if the bottom of the seat is tight as long as the shoulder section flares out a fair bit

my ergo 2's were the perfect seat i actually regret selling them but they r not fia approved :bunny:

the podium actually looks really good in person... and they are comfy as fuck.... i'm just trying not to spend the extra $400 as that's the money for the rails lol

if youn are a 33" waist you wont have any troubles with the brides.... i can fit in them (not comfortably) and i wear a 38"

if you wanna go to access auto's in vermont they have around 6 types of brides on display :D

I had the standard size Zeta III and I've got a 33.5-34" waist. It was snug, but I daily drove it for a while just fine. I couldn't wear bulky clothes, so if you are a wannabe rapper and wear pants that are too big for you, you won't fit. But if you wear normal clothes, you should be fine with the L size Zeta.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
