Crb Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 So after nearly two years ive finally got round to doing something to the seats. The old stock ones were pretty scruffy and my initial plans were to have some custom leather on them, but it turned out the drivers seat was pretty much knackard. However a set of OMP mounts came up for sale on here so ive gone down the aftermarket seat route instead. They are the sparco r100 and considering they are not at the expensive end of the market, I find them really comfortable and supportive. Plus I think they look pretty good too 10 Quote
Svothe Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Those look gorgeous!, How tall do they sit? What mounts did you go with to get them to fit, would love to get a set of these in my z. Quote
Crb Posted April 25, 2015 Author Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Those look gorgeous!, How tall do they sit? What mounts did you go with to get them to fit, would love to get a set of these in my z. OMP mounts and sparco sliders. They sit about the same height of the stock seats. The passenger seat fits perfectly but the drivers side is a little tight on the top belt mount. It's as though seat could do with moving a half inch towards the centre console. Edited April 25, 2015 by Crb Quote
GMballistic Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Fantastic seats those Crb, ...really suit the car and I love the shape of them. Quote
Richie94gts Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Look sweet - loving the aftermarket seats. Quote
Svothe Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Goddam it why did you have to put pictures of these beauties up. My house fund is going to take a pounding again finding a set fo rails, sliders and R100s to go in my zed. ****. Quote

philw99 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 :thumbs:They do look really nice what did you do to stop the airbag light coming on? Quote
Crb Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 :thumbs:They do look really nice what did you do to stop the airbag light coming on? Mines an import so no side airbags. There is a resistor pack available tho if you do 1 Quote
veeg33 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 They are brilliant! Nice shape and blends in really well as if they are standard seats! Very nice! Quote
slickcell Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 They look absolutely unreal! I've wanted to get a set of red brides for mine.....I know that's a bit racey but what the heck. Im after recliners, and most likely replicas since genuine are ridiculously expensive Quote
HAMLNJ Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 does the drivers seat sit higher or lower? they really work with the car and look almost stock. shame about the sparco branding. Quote
martybhoy Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I think I've just been swayed after contemplating a refurb of my leather seats. They look great in a zed and look almost stock/factory upgrade. Quote
harryjackson Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Anyway of getting aftermarket seats to sit lower? These look mighty high in car.. Quote
veilside z Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Nought wrong with the branding if your into the modified route. Quote
andy10v Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Anyway of getting aftermarket seats to sit lower? These look mighty high in car.. I took out my drivers seat the other night to start looking at fitting new seats. The drivers side rear inner seat mount is raised a couple of inches up from the floor which is why most after market subframes are so high. This is a mock up rail with the outer rail bent up to the height of the inner mount, you can see how much this pushes the seat up. My subframe is going to sit on the floor, with a leg up the to the oem mount. It will move the seat slightly to the right, but I can fit in with a helmet when I test fitted the seat (6'1") Loads of pictures/info here of a guy in the US modifying the Planted seat bases http://my350z.com/fo...at-bracket.html 1 Quote
harryjackson Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Awesome! Will that seat mount be adjustable or fixed? Quote
