datsunlover Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Well, I got thinking the other day.. I havnt dont anything to my daily driver for a while.. (93 Nissan King cab V6) Then my jery riged Ford escort seats started to rattle and get loose (bad hack job by me 2 years ago.. meh, it worked..) and I thought.. hey .. I have this 81 280zx for parts here.. with a nice tan leather interior.. well what else am I gona do on a sunday afternoon? So I goes out to the shop (I love working in a machine shop.. for a boss that lets me go in and use evrything whenever I want!) and proceed to chop/hack the seat rails up, weld up some pieces, build a few spacers, and bam! I got some nice dead cow to sit on in my truck! AND they sit lower (closer to stock position) and are more suportive than those worn out escort GT seats! Got the bottom tilt and lumbar suport in them too! Then I jamed the backs (zx is a 2+2) in the passenger rear corner in place of the factory flip out seat. (I mean really.. whos gona sit on THAT thing? it's like an 8" square 2" thick slab of vinel! Ive seen nicer 'bitch pads' on bikes...) Its a bit tight, but an extra seat none the less! I'll see if I can take some pics some time.. I just felt like sharing.. at least its sort of Z related! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannji Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 LOL! Nice... I had a 1984 Nissan King and you arent joking about the backs, but it never crossed my mind to swap them. I think your seats ar probably a serious improvement over the stock fronts as well.... I took a couple roadtrips in mine.... got out bent over. Pics would be cool.....
