Luke_GTS-T Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hey there, I'm interested in getting myself a Velo GP90 bucket seat. My question is, what exactly is needed to fit the GP90 into a r33 gtst? I rang up MMSport and they quoted me $1300 for the GP90, alloy side-mounts, custom brackets and sliders; this seems like a hefty price considering the seat itself costs $649. I asked if the standard rails can be used in combination with the alloy side-mounts however they said that the seat would be way too high, could I just buy some low bride rails and whack on the alloy side-mounts or is it not that easy? Any help will be much appreciated!

Luke_GTS-T Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 How did you fit it in your car? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358334-what-is-needed-to-fit-a-velo-gp90-bucket-seat-into-a-r33-gtst/#findComment-5726272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssxRicho Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 buy a drift base from autobarnz (do these bolt on now? or are they still a little dicky? S13 base also works) and some velo side mounts. $150 for the base and whatever you want to pay for the side mounts....

wlspn Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 You can get steel side mounts instead of alloy. Think they're around $100 cheaper... Only thing is they weigh a whole 1kg more which, unless you're involved in highly competitive motorsport, is sweet FA Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358334-what-is-needed-to-fit-a-velo-gp90-bucket-seat-into-a-r33-gtst/#findComment-5727222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
