I need a replacement quick for the s13 seats...it might be the way i like to sit, but driving for more than 30 minutes means bad lower back pain.  i am going to try some maxima seats this weekend, but has anyone tried other nissan oem seats in their 240s? thanks

Id be interested to know if maxima seats work in a 240 altough they dont have the greatest support, but then again neither do s14 seats. I know for a fact that 300zx seats wont work. Someone mentioned that the 350z seats look like they have simular mounting brackets, although I would doubt they would fit, and even if they did, good luck finding some of those for a decent price.

i have always liked the older model G20t leather buckets... would they fit?

Anyone know if Sentra seats will convert? Cause I drive a Sentra and I think my seats are comfy. But thats just me, I am young and have no back trouble like some of you old geezers <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

there are alot of different s13 seats, there are the ones that are cheap, they are the ones with the bumpy pattern and visible seams. i've only seen them in 89-90 hatches.

my coupe has smooth, cloth seats that are very comforatble and supportive.

i dont know why there is a diff. but there is.

I kind of think the smooth seats are the uncomfortable ones but I haven't sat in any other S13 or S14 seats. The seamed ones in the 300ZX seem comfortable to me but I don't know how they compare to the Seamed 240 seats.

Redline Racer- If you have a Sentra, why don't you check to see if they are the same. The ones in the SE-R Spec-V felt good to me. That is if you have a 240. You don't have to, I'm just asking a favor.

I have those s13 imitation racing seats...the one piece with the hole with which some poeple use for 4 point harnesses.  damn those things suck.  i can seem to minimize the pain by sitting up close to the wheel, but damn i look like an idiot that way.

I dont have a 240 yet. I am saving right now to buy one and it is hard to find a good condition S13. If i could find someone with a 240 i would be happy to see if they would swap and tell you how it goes.
