Hi guys, have myself a couple of fixed back seats as per the title. I have side rails for them too. They can be mounted underneath and from the side.

So I am looking for a couple of Bride rails to suit. I'd like to maintain the ability to slide them back and forth since I am not the only one who drives. I've seen the Bride MO rails which look like they could be the go. Also seen the IG rails which looks the goods also but perhaps only lock on one side.

Anyone had any experience with this and know which rail is the best fit and why?

Cheers,

side mount using the sparco alloy brackets and then the bride rails to suit, I did have to drill new holes in the sparco bracket to meet the bride rail.

there are quite a few bride rails from what I can remember... and Im fairly sure I used the LF type... but I can check when I get home and have a look, Im sure it has a model sticker on them somewhere hopefully I dont have to pull it out to find out for you....

Awesome thanks mate. Yeah don't pull your seat out or anything... But if you manage to find out what model it is that would really help. I have the sparco alloy side mounts as well.

Do the ones you have lock in on both sides of the rail? Ie is it pretty solid when you move and then lock the seat in?

If you get a chance would be great to see a close up photo ( but only I it's easy for you )

Cheers

oh they are very solid, better than std

Yeah I can take some photos... be careful when mounting the seat, Ive mounted two sparco 2000 drivers seats now and the shoulder part of the seat sits very close to the door trim, and really consider using a full harness as the seat belt over the shoulder sits higher than normal (due to the seat) and can be a tad annoying, it'll be fine when you go harness though...

photos as promised...

but sorry I couldnt find any marking to say which model it is... I do have a certificate of authenticity around somewhere, I'll see if I come across it...

You're a good man! Thanks for taking the time to do that. From the pictures it looks to me like its an Type-RX ?

Cheers for that - I'll look for some of those or the MO's as I think they should work too.

Yeah if you happen to find the cert -would be interesting to know.

Thanks mate.

haha! Bloody hell I hadn't even seen an SL-type.. so that's another one!

Have a look at this pic of the RX. Note on the right hand side (as you look at in the photo) it has that angled bracket similar to the one in your photo.

PLus it has the sort of 'twin' flat bar at the front like yours.

Bride RX type rail

I tell you what when I DO get one of these suckers I am going to do a thread on it.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
