Seats

[mambastu]

Anyone fitted a set that actually hold you in place when you corner ?

[Richy_Boy]

no I'm looking too. Might get some Rover 200GSi seats. They are nice 1/2 leather numbers, with big ol side supports.
Should be cheap too from a breakers.. and last well.

There is an American 240sx web-site somewhere that shows you how to get more support from the standard, badly supporting, seats in a 200sx.

Firstly, unzip the 2 zips at the rear of the seat, then undo the top spring (I think there are 3 in total). this makes you sit firther back into the seat. Then, from outside the car, grab the left hand bolster and bend it in a little. Then from the passenger seat do the same to the right hand bolster.

I did it on my fabric sseats and it works a treat. Dunno if the leather seats have different frames though.

I've got a late model 200SX and unfortunately the seats don't have the rear zips like the earlier type so the 'bend the seat' mod won't work http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/frown.gif

I haven't found anyone that does aftermarket subframes for 200SX's has anyone else ?

[Richy_Boy]

Its pretty much a straight subframe realy. A bit of metal and you could fit anythintg really...

I have fitted two Cobra Monaco bucket seats into mine, what a bitch to make frames for as Cobra don't do them, they say the seats wouldn't fit but mine did, I have now taken out the monaco buckets and put in two Cobra Daytona recliners trimmed in yellow and black to match, I'm going to (with a bit of persuasion) put the buckets in the back !!!

[mambastu]

Have you any pictures of the seats you fitted and/or the subframes ?

Matt_S has some fancy seats in his car, they definitely feel grippy. You could also ask him what they're like to sleep in as I think he's done it twice now http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif
