wooot!

shannons for lyf

they wouldnt give me a price that nice, same value 1300 a year no at fault accidents and over 25.

I said I wouldn't, you're free to do what yo want with your own money.

However those fakes aren't really cheap either. If yo shop around you can find genuine seats for great prices...

Just a quick search

^^Those yellow in your car would look cool as f**k imo :P

Single seats in great condition show up in the 300-500 range too if you're willing to wait to put together a pair.

Edit: Even compared to Genine brand new seats those fakes really aren't that much cheaper. Things like the Zeta III are even almost the same cost as a real one.

the 2nd hand recaros, though tempting, would require work to restore, i'm no mohsen, so restorations, aren't my thing. But a set of SR3s wouldnt be too bad.

Though, any thoughts on the holford motors homebrand recliners? They look pretty okay.

I agree you are free to do what you want with your own cash, but don't be bullshitting people saying they are ADR approved. There is now a lot of people that beloved this and think they are buying safe stuff, which is just straight up f**king unacceptable. Then again anything that removes a few drifters from the gene pool can't be all bad I spose....

Also they are heaps cheaper dude... I know you can get genuine shit cheap If you are patient or know people (hell I got the bride in my 33 secondhand exjapan for $300 with rails)

But you can NOT get genuine seats that are or even look brand new for $500 odd for a PAIR

There's a set of confetti SR3's on eBay in what looks to be great condition - so tempted, so expensive :(

On that note, anyone selling or know of any 32/33 GT-R seats for sale?

Fair point! Depends what seats you want though

What he said

I'm not actively looking at seats

But these seats are looking joocy

Bride Low max, but with a CF/kevlar back

Bride Stradia II Venus in Alcantara

These are $3,500 a set via Nengun LOL

they look tits but are soooooooooooooooo thin

I tried to get into athid's s15 and there was no way I could do it

Might be the brain not working near Christmas

But what do you mean you couldn't get into the s15 because of the seat? Please elborate

my passenger seat is a second hand Sparco i got for $250. faded and squashed cushions, so got it reupholstered. didnt know interior/fabric paint existed or else I would have just sprayed it. oh well.

so faded is easily repaired. tears are tricky though.

    • Coming home late at night and driving past the police is the only reason i need one haha And yeh, definitley needs a switch to quickly enable it, dont have time to be getting my phone, opening an app, waiting for it to update etc before being able to make the change
    • Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?
    • Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example. 
    • I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary   
    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
