i've always been eyeballing the r34 seats, especially since they look so pretty.. but the thing is, the r32 seats for me, have always been perfect.

i'm wondering whether or not the r34 seats actually offer something, other than nice looks. the obvious thing i've noticed is the harness loops, but other than that.. i think the R32 seats are really perfect (for me atleast).

I have R32 seats in my 14 as you said to me they are the perfect OEM seat between looks and doing their job of holding you in.But I would say if your a bigger guy go for S15 seats, I have had some bigger people complain about my seats.

Also on the cluster, its sick I might do something like this in my 14 after I reassemble my motor!

Unholy S14 · 08-05-2007, 07:18 PM

arent R32 seats the same thing as S14 seats

articdragon192 · 08-05-2007, 07:23 PM

Not at all.

my buddy has them...very nice and comfortable suporative seats by the way

unholyfd3s> arent R32 seats the same thing as S14 seats

yeah.. ABSOLUTELY NOT. ;-) R32 seats RULE, while S14 seats rule nothing.

I've always loved how compact and unflashy the R32 seats are, they are super snug seats and I'm 5'8" so its a perfect fit. larger fat americans should consider another seat though.

anyway, i was just curious if anyone had experience with BOTH seats. the r34's are nice, but cost an arm'n'leg.. always curious if they're worth it.

ms!3 · 08-05-2007, 09:15 PM

word is r32 seats sit you an inch or two higher than a s13/s14 seat would? ive always been interested in them, but im 6'3. ill prob have to look into getting a bride low max and bolting it to the floor. haha.

s14 seats are better than s13 ones. but id def like to start looking into a bucket.

i dont agree. i never noticed sitting higher in the r32 seats.

remember, most of these s13 seats are pretty ratty and fucking NEGLECTED. I wouldnt be surprised if the foam is completely fucked on the majority of people's cars. i mean, everytime i sit in oem s13 seats.. i need to get my back cracked. literally, those are the worst seats ive ever had the luxury of owning.

status:one · 08-05-2007, 10:07 PM

that is a very clean setup!

driftenthusiast · 08-06-2007, 03:32 AM

Were did you get the fuel guage? any pics?
Also where did you get the concept X VSD? I searched and can only find the VSD Concept.

i was hoping what i heard was wrong, thanks.

Shadytrixta1 · 08-06-2007, 12:06 PM

If anything I feel lower in my R32's, but that may just be the bucket style making me think im lower.

Maeda · 08-06-2007, 07:06 PM

I have a question mr Broadfield.

I have a similar setup and how did you get the defi HUD to work? Is it just a simple matter of following the directions? (yes i know im retarded and lazy, just humor me)

It plugs into the Defi link controller. Then speedo will wire into the controller for the HUD. You do not have to wire the tach signal into the HUD controller..... it will automatically take the signal from the Defi link controller. This might be different depending on which of he 3 HUD's you have!?!

I can get you the Concept X. PM me if you want details. I did not take any pics of the fuel gauge. I think I might redo it, so I will take pics at that time.

Maeda · 08-07-2007, 03:45 PM

Thanks broadfield, I also noticed I have the HUD tach working, but the tach in my cluster stays at 9000. :\

I have the tach signal wired into the link box, and nothing wired to the vsd concept box.

I assume that your HUD and dial gauge tach are working together?

Broadfield · 08-07-2007, 05:44 PM

Mine does all work flawless. I am not sure about your tach.... I will check into it for you. Do you have the version 1 or 2 Defi link controller?

Maeda · 08-07-2007, 05:46 PM

Version 2 I believe.

hellion240sx · 08-07-2007, 10:53 PM

No need now! I figured it out! Thanks for all the help.
It was something stupid and simple, just a matter of forgoing the signal adapter, and sticking the Link output to the UNDERSIDE of the vsd concept.

bump for pics of digital fuel gauge

axiomatik · 10-09-2007, 07:15 AM

what do you mean? he has pics of it posted earlier in the thread.

chaseSR86 · 10-09-2007, 08:51 AM

Whats the glue that you use to attach the gauges and the panel to the existing gauge cluster? How did you mount the gauges flush like that?

dnomyar · 10-09-2007, 09:45 AM

looks like he used a hot glue gun

Not of the digital fuel gauge... or at least I missed it.

Only question I've got is why put the EGT guage on the cluster and Oil Pressure on the vent? Perhaps I'm being naive or something but wouldn't oil pressure be more important to monitor?

240LE · 10-10-2007, 01:38 AM

This would work GREAT with speedhut revolution main cluster gauges. 4" speedo with ODO, Tach, 2 5/8" fuel qty,water temp. Then get a triple A pillar pod

my bad, it was posted in the "Interior Gauge Setups" thread. IIRC, the gauge displays percentage of fuel used. Read the posts following the one below to learn more:

Here is a couple pics of the fuel gauge on and off, and few other with my new wheel and DCC swap.
