DeLorean Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I might be able to pick up a pair of East Bear Sigma seats (same seats that are in an R34 Skyline GTR) for about $500, which is not bad considering two would normally be over $1k. Question is, anyone know of any cars (probably japanese market) with these seats? I know of one, Yuki Komiya's wild VH45DE V8 Z, link here: http://forums.subdriven.com/zerothread?id=2115791 They are in the car there, though I wouldn't be surprised if some wizardry was needed. Plus the photos aren't great... The seller says they are 19" from wing to wing, which I have trouble believing until I see them. Am I right in thinking though, that if that is the case, they should fit (width wise)? I have a '73, forgot to mention that earlier...

Young Z Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Are they similar to the R32 GTR seats in width and height? I have a pair of those that I need to get brackets made for, but they will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 From what I can tell, the R32 and R34 seats are pretty close in terms of size, though the R34s are probably a little wider. Do the R32s have a little bit of room left, and how do they sit (too low/high)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Z Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Well they aren't bolted in just yet but they are going to be a really close fit to both the transmission tunnel and the doors. They sit a little bit higher than the 280z seats that are in the car right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 So after some measuring and rough fit tests, I bought the seats. The price was just too appealing. They are comfy, plus the bolsters and wings are totally ridiculous. The logo sucks, but I'd like to get them recovered in red leather one day. Not sure when I will get around to fitting these things in, probably going to run into issues (it's always that way), but I will post some photos as soon anything happens.

icapture Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 i absolutely love those seats. Someone was selling them on eBay for a while, but no more. I would definitely put those seats in my Z if I could find them for a decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsin Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I was going to put these seats in my car, they are not as agressive as the other seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Yea, the bolsters on the side aren't as extreme as some of the others, especially the non-recliners, but the wings are the main selling point for me. If I had 3k, I'd get Recaro A8s or something, but alas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumberjackj Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I was going to put these seats in my car, they are not as agressive as the other seats Thats funny, I sold my black and red leather version of these on ehre not too long ago....I didnt like them much since im a bigger guy, and they sit a little high. The wings on the r34 seat look ... to me... to hit the window area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yea, I did a test fit by removing the passenger seat in the car now and put one of these seats in. I didn't have any rails so it was a little too low, but whatever rails I use will have to be pretty small (probably custom) because if you raise the seats very much at all, they won't fit. I'm gonna talk to a welder and see what we can come up with, at least I want the seats to sit lower than the stock ones do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
