Snowseph Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Hi guys, When I owned my Honda Civic I bought these Integra DC2 seats for it, along with genuine Takata harnesses. I think they'd look great in my Z and I'd like to fit them. Am I right in assuming I'd just need some Recaro rails for the Z, and they'd bolt on to them, or? It'd mean removing my heated leather seats, is there any bits of loom I have to disconnect and take out, etc? Thanks, Joe Edited January 16, 2014 by Snowseph Quote
GT4 Zed Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Yes you will need Z specific rails to fit the seats. You can buy some universal bottom mounts and modify them as required which might even be cheaper (I take it its bottom mounted). Disconnect the looms under the seat and that's all. You will need to make an airbag resistor to cancel the airbag warning light and restore the rest of your airbags 1 Quote
Suits Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Some of the best seats I've ever sat in these and some of the most simple, lol. Quote
Neilp Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I have accord type r seats in mines. Custom rails though. Quote

I assume you made some custom changes to universal ones? But if not, lemme know. Really wanna get these fitted! Edited January 16, 2014 by Snowseph Quote

I used the honda rails and cut the legs off my electric leather seats and welded them on. Lot of faffing about tbh but couldn't get rails that would fit. Quote
bamdc2 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Will always miss the DC2 seats, so perfect! Quote
coldel Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Would like to see these in a Zed, although imagine the colour combo might not work for some! Quote
Snowseph Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 Would like to see these in a Zed, although imagine the colour combo might not work for some! Hopefully will put them in mine, just making my mind up whether it's worth replacing the heated leathers lol... decisions decisions. Here's an example of what they look like against a blue car, my Civic at an earlier stage of it's life: Quote
coldel Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I was going down the red on black route with my zed before I sold it - these might have suited it Think I used the heated seats in my Zed all of about 5 times in about 18 months of ownership... Quote
Lacky Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I had dc2 recaros and Takatas in my starlet glanza v. Loved them. I just bought genuine bride bottom mount seat rail from the states for my bride seat for the 350. Quote
ajedney Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I'm looking to buy a set of DC2 Recaros, I loved them back when I had a DC2. Does anyone have any sound advice about fitting them into a 350? Thanks Quote

Snowseph Posted May 20, 2014 Author Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Bit of a thread revival here, but I think I may have found the exact rails needed to fit Recaro seats in to your Z. It's a UK website too, rather than the US ones I've stumbled across. http://www.nengun.co...rame-seat-rails If you scroll down slightly, you'll see the Recaro rails for Z33. Judging by the pictures, it looks as if they come with the airbag delete too, I copied an pasted what I found from another forum with the same sort of thread but indeed they do come with the airbag delete, see > http://zclub.com.au/forums/index.php?/topic/5003-sr3-recaros-in-350z/ < (to disable the factory seat-mounted side airbag without affecting the other airbags in your car). Seriously considering buying them and fitting my DC2 seats now. Edited May 20, 2014 by Snowseph Quote
jumping350 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 if it helps I have a set of cloth seats you could have for cheap and then can butcher the frame to suit your new seats, that way your leathers wont need destroying either. Drop us PM if interested Quote
