R32 seat owners:

[NemeGuero]

Hi guys.
I'm joining the R32 seat owner's club.

I want to see how you guys fixed the seat belt connector erection problem.
the buckle part sticks up waayy too high and pokes my elbow while I'm steering.

Its a simple cut and reweld or even just drill another hole, I know.. but I still want to see who has done what.

ALSO,
post up pics of your extended outside rear mounting points if you got 'em.

thanks

[kdashy]

hrmm I just got used to the high belt buckle. Makes it easier to buckle!

[!Zar!]

Yeah, I haven't seen a remedy for it yet.

Just need to get use to the viagra shit.

I guess you could look around for a replacement from another car or something.

Fuck if I know.

[NemeGuero]

Gheyness. I guess I'll just re-drill it.

[Slidin240Wayz]

Can you just use the S14 one?

For the rear mount- I just use a large washer to hold it in place.

[Shadytrixta1]

Yeah got use to mine being high to.I imagine it eouldn't be much of a task to cut and reweld though.

[Ca_laurier]

ya, i never touched mine either. kind of came to the conclusion of...whats the point

[chmercer]

i got a harness

[Wei240]

haha, it seems like we're all too lazy to fix it,
probably can find another buckle that fits better in the junk yard but we're all too lazy...

as far as the last tab, mine has a welded extended tab, i'll post pics one of these days...

[swayray]

hehehe... i remembered when i had the same problem...

youre going to have to drill a hole to drop that buckle part lower... i used my s13 buckle which worked fine...

as far as the mounting tabs... this is what is did:

found various parts and brackets at work... and made this in 3 minutes... the rest of the mounting points line up just fine...

that bolt/bracket is pretty safe... i drifted on those all day and it held fine...

ignore that little icon of a guy w/ an aching back... i had it up there to show that these seats helped my aching back... =)

btw these are r33 gt-r seats but i'm pretty sure they are the same...

[NemeGuero]

LOL at everyone not fixing it. Really, so you redid the front mounting tab? the one that doesn't line up for me is the rear.

You can't daily drive a car legally with a harness and no seat belt. Otherwise, I'd probably go that route.

I'm using the stock s14 ones and it stands up way too high. It works, but the belt doesn't touch the right side of my body. haha

Thanks for the info guys.

[swayray]

i think you can line up the rear but it will come short at the front... i simply bolted these brackets onto the existing hole to extend it... very easy... i'm pretty sure it'll take you no more than 30 seconds to put it on...

[chmercer]

i dont think its legal to drive my car down my driveway. thank god i dont live in california, my car wouldve been crushed years ago.

thanks for the link

[Wei240]

yeah, i lined up the front tab but the rear is short, so that one is welded.. but it's all good..

[dopeassjackson]

where did you guys get your seats from? i have been looking at the same set of ebay that are all tore up for the past 5 months, they want $600 wich seams to high to me.

[NemeGuero]

A set sold not too long ago for $900.

[Luvs2slide]

Anyone with Rallye 3 or Rallye 4 harness installed in their car?

[cvc9216]

i tried drilling a new hole, but the steel is hard and wasted my bits. it isn't really wide enough to drill a new hole anyway. I went to the junkyard and got some buckles out of another nissan. I believe it was a b13 sentra, they are the perfect length but there are two mounting holes. Cut off the extra hole and it's perfect.

I THINK this is it, looks like this anyway:

[drift into a curb]

Here you go. $550 wow.

[cvc9216]

oh and for the rear mount, I cut it off and rewelded it

Yea? Thats good to know, I was debating between s14 se seats and these.

well the average going rate for a set of R32 GTR seats are $500-600. I reecently got a set of R33 GTR seats in mint condition for $600. I really do not have a problem with that price because normally people sell the R33 seats for $700-800. Though being almost exactly like the 32 seats they have a bit more padding and the center section breaths rather than being straight suede. Either seat is dope though. Some of my favorite seats for our cars.

[Slidin240Wayz]

The R34 GTR seat is the sexiest of them all though.

[drift freaq]

The R34 GTR seat is the sexiest of them all though.

It also is the most expensive i.e. prohibitively expensive.

[Wei240]

^^
no kidding, i remember seeing rbmotoring or someone, selling 2k for a super immaculate pristine set...

but it's so nice...

[mrmephistopheles]

It also is the most expensive i.e. prohibitively expensive.

I wanted a set, but I didn't want to have to pay $2k for a pair.

Out here.

:ughd: :ughd: :ughd:

[Slidin240Wayz]

Damn...Sam had one for a crazy price, but it was for the passenger side. Still, I fit so nice in it, it has the holes setup correctly for a harness too.

2K is a little pricey.

Yes, I think thats just the way they mount.

[NemeGuero]

Did you put the left side in the right side? Mine don't tilt.

[jdm538]

i didnt know it was possible to put them on the wrong side. im sure i put them on the correct side though. it was a r32 gtr seat by the way.
