Hey man, either the Vios or Zeta with graduation is my preference, I'm not sure what the difference is between them. It's street registered so the Maxis is over the top, I'm not sure on FRP/CF/Kevlar yet, depends on weight differences.

What were you thinking?

Edit: Just found this- vios is supposed to sit you a little lower. It does this by being recessed a little more on the bottom and having a slightly more curved back. I find this seating position more comfortable, especially for a street driven car. The vios also has smaller shoulder bolsters and the thigh supports are lower, making it a more livable seat for day to day. I have sat in a zeta too and it is also very comfortable. It is probably the seat i would choose for a more dedicated track car.

Probably go for the Vios because head clearance is a concern for me.

I cant tell the difference between the Vios and Zeta seats tbh. They look virtually the same apart from slightly wider shoulder supports. But im not fussed, Vios sounds good in graduation. Mine is also for my street car.

So was it clear if there is rails supplied or definitely not?

Ah so they do come with something. Cool. Ill probably just fabricate my own rails to suit anyway.

Do you have height issues atm in your silvia? I dont remember you being overly tall back in the days of the s13 club with Jason, chris and the guys. Lol or maybe you are and its just my memory is shot.

I will be home tomorrow I can weigh the sample seats. I do not think there will any weight difference between the F/g, carbon or kevlar, as the are all wet laid . The carbon or kevlar or just for show.

Payment needs to be cash as I have to transfer payment to o/sea supplier in China. Could do paypal, so could use payal if you pay the fees.

Seats will need to use genuine Bride railings to suit the model seat you pick. The Gias and the Cuga for example have different mounting bolts centre.

The seatings come with basic sliding rails, so unless you can make your own mounting brackets to suit they will be no use.

SAAS I think make some rails to suit so you can use the supplied rails. I will see if I can find out some more info.

If someone onlys wants a single seat, still register your interest, as I might buy the matching pair.

I've been looking at photos, and 34 gtr bucket seats don't mess with the standard seat belts. Will these ones really be an issue?

The seat belt buckle mounts on the rail, not to the side of the seat, so they will work fine. No need to use a racing harness.

I can get copy Bride or Takara 4 or 5 point racing harness's if any wants.

have you actually used a std seatbelt with a full bucket? not exactly the best combination tbh...

the seatbelt doesnt hug the body (unless your quite huge), the seatbelt just goes from one edge of the seat to the other so you not held in by the seatbelt around the waist...

and yep the buckle is mounted on the rail but using a bucket its not exactly easy to get too, its quite a way down the side unless you make up some sort of extender plate so it sits higher...

Will the belt wear away at the side of the seat if a standard belt is used? I'd love a seat like this, but with the ability to keep the back ones.

OK, looks like I'll be on the lookout for a pair when I get my car :D

Are you wanting and talking about full buckets or recliners?

Recliners will be fine with standard selt belts, but you will have issues with full buckets and standard seat belts.

Kawasaki man is referring to r34gtr seats, so recliners not full buckets, hence my reply.

I think we are all getting confussed with what he wants.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      At first I thought these were knock offs....

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
