    gtr bucket seats



    Uploaded with ImageShack.us


    for those who are looking for a cheap alternative where good Bmw seats are not readily available or cheap e.g. Australian Uni students, i managed pick pick up a slightly worn set of 32gtr seats for $400 for my 318is they are very comfortable and 'hug' you much more than comfort/sport seats. The gtr rails can use the standard e30 bolts/holes in the rear with some patience, the fronts i just fabbed up some brackets to work off the standard mounting points in the floor.
    Hopefully some of you find this useful.

    Nice find, but GTR seats are much rarer in the US than BMW sport seats I'd say...They do look very comfortable.

      really? In Australia it is the complete opposite, gtr's well the interiors due to many receiving fixed backs and stripped for racing purposes aren't hard to come by unlike BMW seats. I guess it all depends on who imports what.

        Yeah GTRs aren't legal to import into the US...and never were. there are a few grey markets cars floating around, but that's it.

                haha yes gtr's are definitely one car that will make your jaw drop especially the r34 version. Give me a few days on the picture for the bracket i'm away from the e30 for a bit.
