2x Evo 2 seats sitting at friend's house doing nothing...

GoJiRa to the rescue orders 2x Sparco seat rails specifically designed for the R33 and Evo 2 from Japan.

Jap guys laugh and roll eyes about being hassled so often about them being specifically for an Evo 2

$1,100 and a magnificently made set of Evo 1 rails turn up on mates doorstep.

Jap Sparco guys now say there is no difference between Evo 1 and Evo 2.

2x Evo 2 seats and 2x Evo 1 seat rails sitting at friend's house doing nothing...

:cheers:

They cost what they cost. Brand new brand name parts cost a lot.

Admittedly shipping was a large part of the cost.

As you can see from my post early in this thread I was naively confident

that I would get what I asked for.

Sparco ones cost ¥28,000 for an R33/Evo 2 for the "low" version...

When they come here I am considering going off to a metal workshop type place to get copies made up...

p.s. The Evo2 is meant for those of us more gifted in the ass department (__|__)

yes and darrinspencer was dreaming thinking it would only cost $50 to send those other seat rails from japan to aus when i paid $40 to bring them over from brisbane to mel by road, not air freight which would have cost $175

So i guess i got a bargain with those BRIDE rails i got then as they fit perfectly in the r33

So you can send those sparco rails back and get in my group buy then :cheers:

Yep you got a nice little deal. Admittedly these are not a total loss. The side plates just need to be extended 15mm each side so I will see how much that costs ;) The actual rail part is fine and looks pretty much exactly the same as your Bride one. The sideplates bolt on to the rail. I expected the rail and side to be a single part (luckily they weren't)

But with the cost, as always here people know a mate of a mate who got one for $2 and want to get it off you for $1.99. :(

re: Group Buy - Hahahah no way, these rails have caused me enough trouble, they are going in this car whether they want to or not :cheers:

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      By Rezz · Posted

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
