S30 semi-racing seats for big butt people
DeathByNissan55 replied to DeathByNissan55's topic in Interior
If I have to modify the inside to make a seat fit I will, I'm having full roll cage put in there anyways so the inside is no longer stock haha. I'm more looking for ones that fit my butt and fit height wise since I'll have a roll bar to worry about being under when wearing a full helmet and gear. Seems this sport was made for skinny people...makes sense with the whole weight reductions goals haha. -

S30 semi-racing seats for big butt people
DeathByNissan55 replied to DeathByNissan55's topic in Interior
well I'm a 46 waist so that mean 46" circumference (roughly), (46 / pi ) = 14.6" diameter, and since its more of an oval than circle, add maybe half of radius -> 14.6+3.6 = 18.2 round up to maybe 19" or 20".... SO yea lets go with 20" from hip edge to hip edge directly across, not perimeter. -

Good point, 1977 -
So I'm in the upper midwest and I'm not aware of any places near me that would be a good place to test sit in semi-racing seats (seats that hold you better than stock but are still comfortable and adjustable/recline, etc., and accept harnesses), and I definitely don't want to just buy a bunch and return the uncomfortable ones as shipping costs would be stupid. I'm a big guy with wide hips and shoulders, any recommendations out there for a brands/styles that are better for the bigger people, that are type that described above (semi-racing)? Don't really want to turn this into a "what fits into an S30" post cuz then I'll just get a "use the search button" response, but if you happen to know of some bigger comfier semi-racing seats that just happen to bolt up and fit in an S30, try to draw attention to that note haha. I'm willing to make brackets and etc. Just to give you an idea of size, I have a waist size of 46, and if you've ever sat in a s14, those stock cloth seats hurt my butt cuz the wings are too narrow.

You're upgrading the map sensor at the rear of the manifold to what range? Just bought a Bosch one? -

What do you guys things of doing this mod?
DeathByNissan55 replied to Rusty Bomb's topic in S30 Series - 240z, 260z, 280z
Idont have time to watch through all those commercials, I'm assuming that you're talking about cutting out the hole for the external handle and welding in the one off the 300zx that are flush with the body? It'd be really kewl to see, hope you know how to do body work and have at least twice the humor that those guys have haha -
You never specified a brake setup, which style rear and front are you using?
