The new seat from Veilside....carbon/kevlar....small to medium size'd individuals LOL.....but not homolgated YET.....though they used it in there 240+mph R34 GTR and drag R32...

I quite frankly love it...it has a nice rake ( angled back ) to it...and looks VERY much so in veilside's quality!

I wish they would DEFINE small/medium individuals... And yes those look pretty nice.

Or the Charge Speed ( very well known tuner in japan) seats...

Well I am 6'2" tall and have a 34" waist...180lbs...I am a MEDIUM "BUILD"...so i am guessing the width is the biggest factor...and if i can fit in a Bride Brix 2 seat.....I am cool...becuase those are the TIGHTEST fitting seats for the american market....but they fit "well"....

But if you have bigger than a 34" waist..i would re-consider...

I read a seat buyers guide article in SCC a while back and they said a 34" waist is medium....25-30 is small...Japanese small... :yelrotflm

they are uncomfortable becuase you got a Tenzo R seat.....Jeez man hahahahahaha

If you got a Bride or Sparco or Recaro....I highly doubt you would be complaining...

but in your case i guess form( as in price) follows function...

I think i will go for a Veilside seat in the red, they take Bride seat rails too....those are around another $180 shipped from Fizz autosports in New York...

VeilSide VSD-1 Racing Seat is based on a custom design from our R1 Street Drag R32 Skyline GT-R race car. The design centers around the driver's inputs on driving comfort and the ability to manuever while still being strapped tightly to the vehicle.

I found the video of the Veilside R32 ( on the 1/2 mile run) and he is running that seat...I froze the video and compared....100% match...

so yes, they arent lieing about using the seat in there own personal cars...for time attacks and what not...

-Jonathan

PS: one thing i worry about is head/neck support....the back looks sort of low.

I didn't buy the seats i got them when i bought the car, guy put them in becuases he said the stock Leather seats were all toren and cracked to hell.

Doom, I gotta agree with Siman on that one. Everyone who sits in my Sparco's is amazed by how comfy they are. I used to get a backache when on long trips in the stock seat, I honestly don't have that problem with the Sparco's.

 

[figgie]

i think i would dish out the cash for a momo racing bucket, spearco, recaro or Bride. ESPECIALLY at 500+ bucks a pop

hmm thats wierd the stock seats are the most comfertable thing i have ever sat in. All with there 4 way power direction and lumbar function. Oh well my tenzo are not bad at first i couldn't stand them but there good now too sit in, Just hard climbing into and out of them.

I bought generic EBay specials - black simulated leather Sparco Torino replicas. Was about $350 shipped for TWO seats. Aside from trying to get them mounted in [making my own brackets], they are perfect. I sat in one while working on my wiring harness for a few hours, and it was pretty damn comfortable. I'd rather sit in it than the 8-way adjustable office chairs we have at work..

..so no, just because it's cheap doesn't mean it sucks.

 

[jbsupra89t]

So far the only thing more comfortable than the stock seat I've sat in was basically a Recaro racing shell. The sides were borderline tight, and the shop even had a 5pt attached to it. The tighter fit for me, the better, so long as my head isn't above the back of the seat. I have the TT-R recaros right now, and I must say they are pretty damn comfortable... for STOCK seating no less. One day I'd like to pick up some brackets and SRDs.

If you want an uncomfortable seat, try a Camaro seat. If you have back problems like me, you will probably prefer putting a gun to your head to taking a long trip.

You guys failed to remember i bought the ebay replica Bride Brix 2......

they were AWSOME...but i had to sell them for the money ( school)....

but other than that....I am getting a Veilside seat...in black.....or red.....

or a bride Zeta in gradation....and then a adjustable bride on the other side for the passenger...then MVP's harness bar....and gutting the rear...and a battery box relocation kit thingy...then the 1jz manifold and bigger intercooler....

then boost upgrades....then HID headlights ( nsx?)...

Dude, Siman - I've had the bug forever. A military man cannot afford this hobby. My ultimate goal is a MkIII with an AEM managed 2JZ and 500-700rwhp.

I didn't know that your seats were replicas I absolutely love mine, though.
