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.

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
