datsunlover Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Nothing is going to be a 'bolt in' but all you have to do is find seats you like, and as long as they will phisicaly fit inside the Z, build some brackets to suit. I have 90 something civic Si seats in my 75 280 for example. The seat back adjustment levers were in the way, (hit the tranny tunnel) so I just switched them. (drivers seat is on the passenger side, vice-versa) I guess this depends how good you are with custom fab work and possibly some welding...

Administrators BRAAP Posted January 1, 2007 Administrators Share Posted January 1, 2007 Is anyone running the 2nd generation Nissan Pulsar seats in their 280Z shells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Some suggestions for over the counter (AKA Junkyard) seats: CRX Seats (Get the units without the seatbelt built in) RX7 1st-3rd gens Conguest TSI seats Camaro seats Eclipse seats Nissan 240SX seats Toyota MR2 seats Now what I used are these: http://www.ogracing.com/eshop/itemdetail.asp?ses=32283i5tmclr2jrd95&itemid=923&showbrake=1 They are ultra light weight, can be mounted to the Nissan seat slider with some effort, and fit very well if you have a vice to bend the "wings" inward a tad so they don't hit the door...

Calgary280ZT Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 A buddy of mine installed 90 300ZX electric leather seats in his 73 240z. Made his own brackets. Seats cost him $300 from a club member. They look great and are really comfortable. He drove out to the coast this summer with his wife and said it was a comfy ride. I can give you his email if you want to contact him about the brackets. When I get the drivetrain on my 77 done I'm going with these seats.

JustinOlson Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I have honda sk2 seats that are very nice. I just never seem to have finished making mounting brackets for them. I'm waiting to buy a welder to do the job. They do site in the car nice tho. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowlerMonkey Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I used to work for a recaro and flofit dealer in the 80s and I remember the 240-280z seat track application from recaro stated you used the passenger seat rails for the driver's seat and vice versa. Recaros and flofit will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
