Did you order genuine seats or is this an ebay special? I'm guessing you ordered bride rails to install the seats?

If they are genuine, the stock seatbelt female buckle attaches to the bride rail. If it's a China special, I have no idea how the seats mount. 

If you just spent $5,000+ on seats. You might want to shop around for an engineer that is happy to sign them off (no guarantees you'll find one though, but you might!). 

They're Street Legal in Switzerland because they have a reclining back 🙂

Thats why i bought 2x genuine seats with 2x genuine bride rails, yes this cost me 5300CHF so around 5700USD.

So the female buckle attaches right to the rail? That would be amazing news. Not so sure what you mean by "sign them off"?

In Australia, certain modifications require an engineer to say that car still meets the Australian Design Regulations for the vehicles year of manufacture. Changing the seats here is one of those mods that need an engineer to inspect the car to say it still 'street legal'. I'm glad you don't have to go through this process! 

This will be nice and easy for you, there is a little L bracket that attaches to the rail which attaches to the female buckle. Everything will essentially keep working as the stock seat does now.

    • Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue.
    • Anything above ~9.5V is acceptable. The higher the better, but it will almost always drop to at least 10.5V, if not lower, even with a new big battery and everything else being good. 9.76 is not a concern. If it goes below 9, you'd be sure that there's a problem with either the battery or the connections.
    • It's new almost. Under a year old i think and I've tested it twice at supercheap
    • Glue the head from a Pez dispenser on it. Goofy, or Winnie the Pooh, so something.
    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
