Does the NURMAN Low Max Seat come with seat rails?

No. Seat rails are vehicle specific and sold separately, and the seat cannot be fitted without them. BRIDE lists ten compatible rail types: FO, FB, FK, FG, IG, FT, LG, LF, FX and HR. Which one your car takes depends on the chassis, so confirm the correct rail before you order the seat.

How much wider is the NURMAN than a standard BRIDE bucket?

Roughly 20mm wider at the waist and 10mm wider at the thighs than a ZETA IV. That works out to approximately 360mm of inner width at the waist and approximately 370mm at the thighs. BRIDE shaped the NURMAN Low Max Seat so the extra room arrives without moving to a larger mounting pattern.

Will it fit in a small cabin like an ND Roadster?

BRIDE lists the NURMAN Low Max Seat as installable in tight interiors including the ND Roadster, with some exceptions. The LOWMAX system is what makes that possible, because it reaches a low hip point on standard rails rather than needing a bespoke low mount. Check rail availability for your specific car first.

What is the LOWMAX system?

LOWMAX is BRIDE patented mounting technology that allows the lowest possible driving position in a tight seat space. It also lets the offset between the steering center and the seat center be set to zero, which matters in cars where an aftermarket bucket would otherwise sit off to one side. BRIDE notes that some vehicles will not reach zero exactly.

What is the seat made from?

The shell is carbon and the upholstery is flame-retardant fabric carrying an anti-bacterial treatment that also deodorizes. The whole seat is built by hand in Japan and weighs approximately 8.5kg as a reference value. BRIDE builds it as a safety standard compliant model under Japanese domestic rules.

What is the difference between the four finishes?

The shell, the dimensions and the construction are identical across all four. Gradation Logo, Black Logo, Black and Red differ in upholstery finish and logo treatment only, and they are priced to match. Choose on appearance rather than on specification, because nothing else changes between them.

Description

BRIDE NURMAN Low Max Seat

BRIDE’s NURMAN Low Max Seat is the full bucket for drivers who have tried a standard shell and found it too narrow across the hips. Inner width runs approximately 360mm at the waist and 370mm at the thighs, around 20mm and 10mm more than a ZETA IV, in a carbon shell trimmed with flame-retardant fabric. Every BRIDE seat is built by hand in Japan, and this one carries the patented LOWMAX system, so it sits low in cabins where a bucket normally rides too high; BRIDE lists it as installable in interiors as tight as the ND Roadster, (with some exceptions). The backrest takes a half-cover specification that closes off the rear of the shell for the passengers behind it.

Design and Performance

The LOWMAX system is BRIDE’s patented approach to seat mounting, and it is what lets the NURMAN Low Max Seat reach a low hip point while still using the same standard rails as the rest of the range. It also addresses the offset that appears when the seat center and the steering center do not line up, which is common once an aftermarket bucket goes into a car built around a factory seat. BRIDE states the offset can be set to zero, though it notes that some vehicles will not reach zero exactly.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
