ShortPaul Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Some expensive bits ofl kit there Edited October 8, 2020 by ShortPaul Quote
nissanman312 Posted December 22, 2020 Author Posted December 22, 2020 Little bit of maintenance today Changed the oil again only done afew thousand but at least its ready for spring And I wanted to check the oil pressure to see if there's and sign of gallery gaskets I know its not a definitive answer but there's good presure there so im happy for now The engine may get forged at some point to push the new supercharger kit so there's no point me doing gaskets now if the pressure is good I've got 25psi at 80 degrees i think nissan state 14 psi is the minimum so we're good for now hopefully 2 Quote
nissanman312 Posted February 14, 2021 Author Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Next little project arrived yesterday I have wanted a set of these for ages but could never realy justify nearly 3k with rails etc etc. So when my friend with his clio rs offered me his at a price I couldn't refuse and still makes them economically viable to change the covers and buy new base and rails and everything needed to fit properly I snapped his arm off. I think I'm going to go with black leather and alcantara centres to go with my gt interior like the pic below Ill document the process best I can should anyone else want to do it . The dog approved as well Edited February 14, 2021 by nissanman312 5 1 Quote
nissanman312 Posted February 14, 2021 Author Posted February 14, 2021 Also managed to get a nice dry blast for an hour yesterday Essential battery charge the car pulls so hard with the nice cool charge air 2 Quote
davey_83 Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Proper sexy seats now mate!!!! They'll hold you tighter than your true love Quote
SHEZZA Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Very nice mate, thought you’d got four for a second there ! You greedy bugger. 1 Quote
nissanman312 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks chaps @SHEZZA that would be nice wouldn't it that would be even better value Quote
nissanman312 Posted February 20, 2021 Author Posted February 20, 2021 One seat stripped down ready for the new alcantara covers to arrive The large frame pictured is the clio frame removed and the small frame is what you need to make the seat whole again and ready to accept your specific base frame /rails After a little look it seems the air bags are intact so no issus there either 3 Quote
nissanman312 Posted February 21, 2021 Author Posted February 21, 2021 So stripped the drivers seat today and unfortunately its seen better days Its a shame as the foam has just gone on the lip of the bolster and the bolster its self is solid Luckily these are readily available new from recaro so ill be ordering a new one tomorrow and the covers should be here next weekend 1 1 Quote

dave_7 Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 be worth the extra time and effort when its all done... its basically the 1 seat that can do a bit of everything! Any plans for how you're going to get it to sit as low as possible? 1 Quote

I think i'll have to hard mount mine to the floor as I'd really like a bit of extra room for my helmet Yeah this is a concern hence why I nearly went for poles and side mounted them But hoping I can get these somewhere near stock at least I would of thought if its mainly you driving the car its not an issue but on European trips etc when I share the car with people it wouldn't work to be fixed Quote
