hy guys i am looking to upgrade the front spec1 seats on my r33gtst..
i have had no luck finding r34 ones and gtr 32 ones are stupidly expensive,
i know the 200sx ones will go in but what other car ones would fit?
would nissan primera seats fit or any other make or model seats?..
oh and im 19stone so i need something strong my driver seat is mashed..
pls add....

thanks alot divol thats very kind of ya buddy:) but im trying to source something different to the standard seats i was wondering if the nissan primera gt seats may fit as i like the look of them and they are recaro style.

oky i went to the breakers and came back with a saburu seat lols it is all black and fits but sits a bit high so i need to modify the subframe.if anybody has done something like this before any advice would be appreciated:)

A bit different, but I had a pair of black Recaro seats with red detailing from a Honda Integra Type R DC2 in my old R33 GTR. Had to buy a pair of Bride seat rails to fit them in properly, but they were awesome, best combination I have had so far in terms of look, feel and comfort.

where did you buy the rails to fit it from?

the seat sits oky when i tryed it today but as a little high so i definately gotta
modify the subframe somehow..its just a plain black recaro with no scooby writing on it so guess thats oky i paid ÂŁ80 for it and if i do get it fitted will definately be a improvement from my knackered spec1 seat.

the seat was oky but was to high at the front even if i made my own base it would still be to high:( just waiting till i find something i know will fit now:)

I bought some R33 GTR seats for my GTS-T, got to fit them at the weekend if the weathers decent. Eventually may get the lot retrimmed in leather n alcantara.
