Drift said bride seat rails fit with only drilling required on the tabs , i'll let you know mine should be in two weeks or less

Funny enough i found a drift seat ad that says they come with rails no expiry date from last year same time i bought my seats !! But they said no rails

I looked at doing mine but the factory rails are flimsy at best so you have to beef them up then run some flatstock or square tube and use grade 8 bolts to fasten , not a huge job but welding the factory metal even with lots of experience will be a pain and fiddly and most likely not able to be engineered to ADR in the end anyhow ? bride rails go 30-35mm lower on 34's so my head wont hit the roof so often on the lovely roads in adelaide

  • 1 month later...

Got mine fitted and it took a fair bit of modification to mount on the bride rails and its still not right

They sit higher then factory ? But the rails say 25-30mm lower and the drift seats are pretty close to the same size as GTR seats

Im further back now but its not a good seating position because my head is jammed into the roof just like before , grrrr damn car rules , I would love to just bolt them thru the floor directly and not use the factory mounting points

They would be great for a 5'8 skinny ass driver

they do absorb the road shocks better of pot hole central adelaide , and look a butt load better then gtt seats being all black

So bewarned the cheap seats get expensive quick if you mount them with bride rails ( under 200 ea ) but took the mechanic all day to mod

and fix the compliancing monkey stripped bolts on the passenger side

to fit and buy your over a grand at least

    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
