4RE Leather Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Brooklands350 has just sent this picture over of the passenger seat fitted and working:) masking tape was to hold a protective cover on. Thus far not any major issues:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'll be honest and say they don't look as comfy as the Zed seats. The seating pan is dead flat in comparison to the zed seats too. I hope you manage to get on with them Peter especially if you have back issues. Look nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 What do they weigh in comparison to the stock Zed seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 What do they weigh in comparison to the stock Zed seats? Dan they made my nuts hit the ground and hit me on the chin when lifting them. Got to be a good 50%. I did wonder if the GTR was a tad wider inside as you have millimeters to spare each side. I will ask Chris to weight the drivers one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I'll be honest and say they don't look as comfy as the Zed seats. The seating pan is dead flat in comparison to the zed seats too. I hope you manage to get on with them Peter especially if you have back issues. Look nice though They are not all leather as apparently when they were being tested the test drivers were sliding in the seat! How true that is I do not know. So the back and bum bit are made from heavy grip upholstery as they call it. It has a fair bit of give in it and more than the leather seat pan. Side by side they look pretty simular to the OEM ones:) I drove a R35 a while back and did not notice to be honest. More excited by the car:) Chris brooklands350 just rang and said they are so comfortable you sink in them!

4RE Leather Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Bearing in mind my skeleton is fused together and my neck and back resemble a stick on Bamboo! Would I benefit from a harness to help keep me in position and stop me bending forward all the time which makes the pain worse? I am seatbelt exempt but that was b4 I had a killer car. Any experience in this field would be most welcomed! Thanks Edited March 18, 2013 by 4RE Leather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The R35 track version has even more stickier seats. It is true about the slippy leather seats and I "binned" mine and fitted fabric. Alex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I think leather is now an optional extra? There are only 2 basic colours from what I can gather. The black edition which all have the same ones as I have And the other model that has grey upholstery and black leather sides. Yes Alex, I can just see your arse sliding round the track b4 the car on leather ones:) Edited March 18, 2013 by 4RE Leather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Big thank you to Chris from Brooklands kent who worked everything out from scratch:)Passenger seat is now in and all wired up except the heating element that we are working on.Out with the center gubbings.These seats are definately wider than the OEM ones and at one stage we didn't think they would fit; For all those who wanted to know where the airbag module was. Its the silver box with the yellow sticker on:)Now for the drivers seat.A few more shots.Just a matter of shoving everything back together now.How the heck did BBK'S Girl friend get in the shot?Umm hes a lad isn't he!
