New seats - Take 2

IMG_2298.jpg"

So after my first pair of Drift Blade (R34 GT-R style) seats fell apart at a previous skidpan night. I got myself a refund and went on a hunt for another pair of seats. After weeks of searching I came across a supplier that made Bride “style” seats that didn’t break the bank.

I know what you’re thinking, “what a poser, buying fake parts blah blah blah” lets face it. We’re not made of money! Anyway, I was expecting the quality of my Frides (as I like to call them) to be on par with the Drift seats, but to my surprise they are far superior. All the bolts used on the seats are stainless steal, the material is durable and the seats feel solid.

The real test was whether the seat would hold up when I’m pushing the car to it’s limits. So far they have been great! One day when I have money to burn, I’ll have the real deal, but for now I am more than happy to rock these. Let’s just hope they last a while. If anyone is interested in getting hold on similar seats, feel free to contact me.

haha yeah mate ive seen that car around the micra forums looks good,

yeah mines just a runaround while i sell the skyline and buy a house,

did the seats come with rails to fit the stag?

The seats come with universal rails, so you can either weld mounting plates for the rails, or buy a universal set suited to a specific car (like autotechnica) and modify the mounting points for the seats.

Oh yeah,

Driving sports have a skid pan on Monday from 9-5!

Should be good, I've never been to a day time event before believe it or not.

Only wet pan though which is lame, but it'll still be fun.

Ready for Sunday, Adam?

What's on Sunday?

I've put the car up for sale, but I'm pretty sure it won't be going anywhere. The market is slow for these kinda cars huh.

Had some fun on the skid pan yesterday, car had no issues at all as usual. Boy, a full day really takes it out of you though!

After not even three months of having it??!!

Not to mention the time and coin you've spent on her?pinch.gif

I've had it for a little over four.

I don't see it going anywhere, anytime soon though.

There are that many cars for sale at the moment, many at stupidly low prices, and none of them are budging.

Call me selfish, but im hoping yours doesnt sell so I can continue to follow this thread :thumbsup:

I rike this photo, needs some sort of front lip though. More low would be cool, but that's not possible on the BC's by the looks of it (for the front anyway), I know, amazing right?!

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
