Nagisa or Super Down Low? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So i have the nagisa seat rails on a buddy club wide seat, but it wont fit in my car with me in it. Is the bride super down low lower? Do i need to go custom rails or what?

chmercer · 07-09-2007, 04:27 PM

what like the rail wont fit on the seat

what do you mean

is the seat on the bottom holes

try putting the front hole on the top and the back hole on the bottom if you are running out of headroom or something? my buddy club seat was retardedly low so i am thinking maybe you are like 6'8"

u must b reallie tall.

how were u in your stock seat before? if it was too high for you then then 240sx are not the car for you... haha

Is the seat sitting really high where you can't get your legs through between the seat bolsters and the steering wheel? BC seat should sit pretty low with the proper rails.

True that how tall are you?

tougemiata · 07-09-2007, 05:49 PM

im 6'4" or 6'5". but its for my s13. The seat will fit in, but i cant turn the wheel without my hands hitting my knees. The buddyclub wide will not fit on the lowest settings. should i smash the bump out of the floor or what?

as for the stock seat, its ok. my head hits the roof on big bumps, and i cant race it with a helmet on cuz my head is about 1-2 inches from the ceiling without helmet on. wtf.

ive been researching here and looking at build threads on ziptied, but i am running out of options. i may call garageworks and have them just make some custom brackets.

Could possibly try to find or fabricate a new bracket that mounts the seat to the rail.. If I remember right the mounts that came with my nagisa rails didn't fit my seat properly either lol.

Hmm thats wierd because I had a buddy club seat on bride rails before I switched seats and I fit perfectly fine and I am 6'3. I don't know if the rails would be different between Nagisa and Bride but like I said I fit perectly fine with my bride rails

tougemiata · 07-10-2007, 02:03 PM

i can imagine it not being a problem in the s14, but in teh s13 the cockpit is narrower if im not mistaken. also i am big as i stated earlier and have a wide back, so i need the wide seat.

so bottom line-sell the nagisa rails and get the bride super lows? or buy an s14 hahaha

you could go for the old gurney bubble.

I have the BC wide as well on Bride rails and it fits perfectly fine and considerably lower than stock at the low settings. I'm nowhere near your height but its noticeably lower than stock.

sweet. thanks guys, look in the for sale section for the nagisa rails!

chmercer · 07-10-2007, 05:27 PM

any decent rail should put the seat really close to the floor, like mine will touch the carpet in certain parts..

!Zar! · 07-10-2007, 05:58 PM

Tilt the seat. Give it that gangsta lean.

Ohhh yyyeeeaaahhh
