Hey Fellas

I own a 1994 R32 GT-R and live in Sydney,

The Genuine buckets are getting pretty smashed up. The drivers seat has rips and the sponge is really weak too so i was thinking about getting the seats reupholstered but i thought about the cost of getting the sponge fixed aswell as a neat trim.. I gather it would be pretty expensive... still probably worth to get a quote or two.

Anyways My Question is If i were to get some aftermarket bucket seats is there buckets that's not over the top in price but looks nice. id pay up to about probably 1.5K for good ones.

If i had to buy aftermarket ones could i buy the rails that will be a direct fit to the car or will i have to be drilling holes in stuff to fit the seats?

I'm only a short ass so i don't want hyper low ones haha !! the genuine buckets were perfect ride height for me so i want something with the same height if i can please..

Thanks for any help i appreciate it heaps.

Brides all the way mate, huge variety to be able to suit you and your preferences, and rails for bolt in.

I have a red Bride CUGA (carbon backed) with a 33 GTR passenger in my 32 gtst and it is amazing, if you want more comfort and a bit less aggressive bucket go a bride euro series.

Just make sure you get genuine ones, jessestreeter.com is the place to go.

They are the seats I would have gone if I did't get such a good deal on the CUGA.

The best thing about them is that as with my cuga and zetas etc is they are really buckety and supportive but if you are driving for a while they make you sore (they make you drive with your knees together)

quality is second to none and the euro series is like an evolution of gtr seats ( buckety but livable)

I thought about this too, but surely they would have some sort of ADR standard.. if not , seat covers ;D , im gna engineer my entire car soon enough so that wont be a problem.

Put in a couple of extra dollars and get R34 GTR Seats, ADR (legal) and they are a sweet seat, no point in spending $1500 on seats that you have to remove if you get defected for them, for around $2000 you can get genuine Nissan R34 GTR seats that will bolt straight in.

Do the $1500 seats have rails included, they will cost at least $500 for a decent set at least.

Shop smart, shop S-mart

Im going to get the entire car engineered.

Im buying the Bride Gias 2 Low max as a pair

R34 GTR seats are nice and what you said is correct but 2grand for used R34 Seats or 1300 for Brand new Bride that look way better.

I went over his house today and sat in them, i really liked them.

      It may not feel like it to your wallet....but sounds like this was one of those "lucky you did it" rebuilds. Hopefully you have better luck this time

      It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.

      Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in.

      I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
