I'm in for RS or R1000 if that's the price.
Guys, I think it's a hack of a deal!!

Cool, I'll put you at the front of the list then. 20% of the way there:

Looking into the Injen exhaust for you.

The HKS exhaust will be a little under $1800 with a group. For a stainless exhaust, my opinion is this exhaust is a little pricey; especially with exhausts like Amuse on the market that can be had for a few hundred more.

Either way though, the decision is yours!

We're getting our first kits to hit the US in about 2 weeks, with one for stock. It may be possible with these kits. If we have at least 5 people interested, I can check with them.

What seats did you have in mind? :tiphat:

IIRC, the last time we tried an amuse group buy it flamed out pretty bad. :/

with that said, we've had many more members join the forum so maybe it'll fare a little better this time around.

as for seats...what can you work with best? i see a lot of recaros and brides on the site...but i think i'd like to look at the reclining seats. not sure which of the recaros, but the two on the site i'd look at are the bride gias and stradia seats

a deal in
Recaro seats
and ZELE shift knob. I love the shift knob but 425 is steep. I know for a fact if we got a GB people would jump on it.

Unfortunately, I wasn't coordinating the last group buy so I don't have a say how that went. The main difference now is that these are for Amuse parts that are available.

Here are some numbers to give you any idea. The Recaros are in a different price range so I'll leave those out unless anyone has a special request:

Bride Zeta, FRP - $600 range
Bride Gias or Stradia, CFRP - $1400 range
Cuga - $1300 range

btw, loving the new avatar. I propose that you switch it with a new cute anime or japanese female weekly (at the least)

The combination of this being a Japanese product and a lower value item makes it difficult to get the price low. If enough people can be brought together, I'll be glad to ask them but it will most likely still be in the mid-high $300 range.

My only concern with buying seats is the sizing, I never feel quite comfortable buying a seat until I've actually seen it and sat in one. I know there's diff sizes and heights for the BRIDE seats so that'd have to be addressed. Definitely want a reclinable seat still as this isn't a total track monster...though get it down enough and maybe a Zeta III could work.

I'll switch my avatar daily if you give me a discount :tup: hahaha

Completely understandable; I'd expect you to have at least at in the seat at some point before buying it. These seats are certainly not a one size fit all.

For the Zeta, I have one if my AP1 so you're always welcome to come by downtown LA and try it out :tup: For the Gias and Stradia, fitment is about the same so either one is fine. We don't have any around at the moment but I know a place in Torrance that should have them around.

Btw, I daily my AP1 and even go to Vegas once in a while. It's a really comfortable seat even though it is a fixed bucket. I've been using the same seat for the past 4 years. I now find OEM seats more uncomfortable that the Zeta..

Seats are on my to do list and one of the main reasons for me is height.
I am pretty average when it comes to waste, still would like to sit in one, but I would like to drop the seat an inch or two if possible compared to the stock seats.

Options? I keep looking at the Gias low max and they look great, but no sure of anyone (or place) in Houston that has one.

For the Gias and Stradia seats, the limit for a comfortable fit seems to be about a 36" waist. Each car is different in terms of the overall drop over OEM, depending on clearances. I'm not sure what the difference is in the 370z but I'd assume that it's 1-2" under stock at the least.

The Brides are generally the best option because of the quality for the price. Recaros are another option as well.

If you can't find a local place that has the seats, you could try going to a car show. You're almost guaranteed to find one of the Brides there. I'm sure they won't mind if you take a quick sit in their car.

Any more ideas guys?

-Mike Bratcher

You guys ate all my money, I'm out until next year :roflpuke2:

Wheels! Preferable GTS'! in Gloss Black, that doesn't seem to be a normally stocked color.

But I'm in for seats too, that would be a nice change. I'm with phelan though, I don't wanna buy a seat I've never Sat in myself to make sure it fits me. I like that snug feeling :tup:

Let's get a group buy for the Volk TE37's!!!!!!! I want them so bad but can't afford $3800 :(

Humm, sounds like you guys need to find a seat you like first! I can throw out recommendations but it won't help if it's not a comfortable you.

What sizes are you interested in? 19's or 18's? We can do Gloss Black but that means that all sets ordered in the group purchase have to be that color. Otherwise, we can mix and match any standard colors which are chrome silver and titanium gunmetal.

What sizes are you interested in? 19's or 18's? Also, color preference? The standard colors are white and bronze. Any other colors are around $30 more per wheel.

For RAYS wheels, we'll need to do a 5 set minimum.
