Nissan Skyline R33 bucket seat guide
R33
Every R33 in the UK is an import, and the specification varies a great deal between them. An R33 GT-R is a different car from an R33 GTS-t: four wheel drive, RB26, wider body. Send us your chassis number rather than the registration, and we will confirm fitment before you order.

Competition seats for the R33Which bucket seat for a Nissan Skyline R33
The Cobra Monaco Pro FIA at £235 is the practical starting point for a track day car. If you want a lighter fibreglass shell, the OMP Champ-R at £318 is well judged for the money. For a Skyline built properly for competition, the Recaro Pole Position Carbon with ABE at £2346.75 gives the strongest support here.
Reclining sport seats
The Cobra Misano Anniversary at £1374.17, also in Spec 2, and the Sparco SPX at £2346.49 are the reclining options here, keeping more factory comfort while still improving on the standard seat.

Roll cage tier for the R33Which roll cage for a Nissan Skyline R33
The Custom Cages Multipoint CDS at £983.94 is the more accessible full cage, without the weight of a T45 build. The Multipoint T45 at £1384.13 is the step up for a car being campaigned seriously, with the added strength T45 tube gives over CDS.
Harnesses
Harnesses need a roll cage or harness barA 4-point, 5-point or 6-point harness with separate shoulder straps needs proper attachment points above and behind the seat. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar before using anything above a 3-point belt.
The TRS Clubman 3-point bolt-in at £80 and 4-point clip-in at £100 both use the standard seat belt anchor points and do not need a cage. For 4-point competition use, the TRS Magnum 4-point FIA at £205 and the Takata Drift II at £229 are the step up.
For 6-point harnesses, the cage goes in first. The TRS Magnum 6-point Superlite FIA at £245, the Takata Drift III at £270, and the Schroth Profi 3×2 at £370.01 all suit a caged R33 going to competition or serious track days.

Common questions
Why do you need my chassis number rather than the registration?
Every R33 in the UK is an import, and the specification varies a great deal between them, particularly between the GT-R and GTS-t. The chassis number confirms the right fitment in a way the registration alone cannot.
Does the bracket differ between GT-R and GTS-t?
Send us your chassis number and we will confirm. The GT-R is a wider, four wheel drive car with the RB26 engine, a genuinely different car from the GTS-t.
Which roll cage should I choose?
The Custom Cages Multipoint CDS at £983.94 is the more accessible full cage. The Multipoint T45 at £1384.13 is the step up for a car being campaigned seriously.
Can I run a 6-point harness without a roll cage?
No. A 6-point harness needs anchor points above and behind the seat for the shoulder straps. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar first.
