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.

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:

    • Um.... This is not easy. I will have a fiddle with it, but make no promises. I think, given the explicit resistances vs temperature, and your ECU measured voltages, it should be possible to match them up. I will do that by assuming a 5V supply from ECU to sensor, find out how much current would have to flow to produce that voltage, then use that current as a .... nah f**k. That won't work. The supply voltage is fixed, but there's nothing to say that the ECU regulates the current too. Um... I dunno. I guess there's a voltage divider setup in the ECU. As in, there's another resistance between the ECU's sense terminal and ground. That way, as the sensor resistance changes, that's how they get a floating voltage that varies with the temperature, without having to control the current. Give me a minute or 3.
    • *that* is a question for chatgpt (or someone that understands maths....but I'd try chatty). Drop them the table and ask for the formula
    • Alright. Exhaust has been looked at, and booked in 'soon'. I'm not 100% convinced it's going to be as good as possible but I'm going to go with it anyway. If I get a reasonable thing that works for 10 years I mean that's twice as long as I've lived with the current one. I have a more pressing issue. I have fixed my MPVI3 (by buying a new one). Excellently, one can wire in analog 0-5v inputs to the ECU itself. I had wideband already via Serial so I also wired it in via the direct input. The idea being I can use the standalone logging without a laptop and have Wideband data in it. The other wire I thought I'd use oil temp. This is where I've gone crazy. HPTuners requires you to implement a formula so you know how much volts = how much temp. This seems relatively simple to me. However I cannot find the scale for this anywhere on the internet, nor decipher how to figure it out without removing the sensor from the car. All I know is that voltage actually goes up as temperature goes down. I am using the actual gauge, so I can see what the temp is. The signal wire has been branched off into the MPVI3. EXAMPLE: 2.68v = 58C 2.7 = 57C 2.74v = 56C 2.8V = 54C 3.06V = 49C 3.18V = 47C 3.37V = 43C I think the gauge is 50-150C. It may be more. It may be less, because I can't find it for the love of f**k. It appears all the information about the gauges I have has been scoured from the internet, but the sender is VDO 320.021 I believe the resistance chart is this How the f**k do I convert this to a voltage? Once I have a voltage... I then have to perform this transform of said voltage to show it in the scanner: https://www.hptuners.com/help/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm @GTSBoy you're probably my only hope here TEST YOUR MIGHT
    • Here’s the updated and installed muse replica nismo ones … very happy with the outcome. Eventhough I painted my whole rear end due to my rich idle lol. 
    • Hmm. I had a good look (w/o searching, because I'm not logging in) and couldn't see it either. I distinctly recall the thread, not many weeks ago. It must have been removed or perhaps put into the back section. If it was in Off Topic you should at least have been able to search it up. So if I'm not hallucinating, it is fairly decently removed.
