Hey guys...

LoLz...one of my m8s has decided to (and actually purchased) a GTR from japan. It looks clean from the outside......but its seats look like the R32 Four Doors! Pretty ugly! He sent me these pics.

I'm guessing something went wrong and the owner fitted in GTST seats, OR it was some sort of whacked factory option????

WTH????

definetly a gtr, probably had aftermarket seats and the owner has kept them, rather than buying gtr seats to put back in he has gone for the cheaper option.

There is no way you would go to the trouble of changing a gts4, guards, spoilers, motor etc then be a tight arse and not change the seats

Yeah i think its a seat downgrade if anything.

I mean the dash looks the same as well! It's even got the 3 battery voltage, oil temp and boost tachos in the middle!!

Probably sold the car with cheaper seats. By the way those aren't normal GTST seats, those are the 4 door seats (normal GTST seats are a sorty of browny colour, but the seat material isn't the similar to the 180/Silvia as is the case here)........i think they're EVEN cheaper than standard GTST seats. So unless the car was initially a four door, then transformed into a coupe, its a GTR.......i think?

the rear guards seem to jut out a lil just like a real GTR. I can see some shiny metal which resembles an intercooler. Also there's R34 pedals on the car if no one noticed :D Also the door trim is velour, wheras the seats are poverty model. The back seat has the contour in the middle of a GTR seat (and no headrests like in a regular GTS/GTSt/GTS4/GTE/GXi).

My conclusion... the previous owner had bucket seats in the car, didn't wanna part with em, so he took em out and put the cheapest seats he could find that bolted directly in. Some guys get their bucket seats custom made to the contour of their backs, so they don't like getting rid of em that easily.

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
