S13 seats in U12

[damnet]

just like the title says, im curious weather the bucket style seats found in the s13 silvia's will bolt into place in a U12 pinny??



sorta like this ^^^^

I too wouldn't mind knowing.

Actually having looked at an S13 closeup last week, a fair few bits look similar. So I'd be thinking theres a good chance. Maybe also S14/S15 parts too.

Would too like to know if anyone has any definate answers.

i found that image on this site http://www.fulllock.com/superhappy/
they where flogging of the seats for $50 i think and their melbourne based..maybe
could email mr. super happy lucky  and see if he can do some measurments for us?

if my brothers pinny was here, i could do a comparison, but it'd have to wait till saturday, also, ive found that the trx seats are far more comfy than series 1 s13 seats, so find out wether they are series 1 or 2, other wise look for some trx seats

Well from the looks of that picture it comes with the rails so you should be right but im not saying they will bolt up because most definately they wont. What youll have to do is switch the brackets from you pintara seat rails onto the s13 rails and then it will bolt on or totally switch the rails over(i had to change over the brackets to the rails i got). Youll find if you take your seats out that the frames the rails go onto are higher on one the side than the other and the brackets on ure pinny suit for this. Take a look at the s13 rails and see if youll be able to get the brackets from the pinny rails onto them look for some holes if there isnt any you can always make some.

Hope this help





In the pics the brackets are from the u12 and also on the bracket you can see where the old rails bolted onto.

maybe it's more trouble than its worth, man after seeing the TRX seats i think im just gonna get some of those
they look soo comfy which will be good cause my current front seats are a little shabby and the drivers one is
worn and has a tear...
so i gues this means

WTB: x2 TRX front seats in excellent condition. will post in appropriate section soon

the s13 subframe is totally difrent to a u12, it dosent stop you by switching the subframes over, they might fit on with the least ammount of hassle ie drilling new mounting holes etc.

ive found out with seat subframes expect the worst and prepare it to be a pita

I tryed a while ago they dId not fit they are miles away.

And as for modifying i think the easyest way is to weld them, because the u12 brackets are square one the base of the seat and the s12-15 as one square on the base and one on the side of the seat. The one on the side if u leave the slide on there is no were 
to drill any holes to bolt up the u12 brackets

and just a note The u13 4wd turbo seats don't fit eather

[Cru1se_Missle]

they simply do not fit.

[chr1S]

would gtr ones fit ?

im assuming no.

[mike1988]

I doubt that they would because a lot of people with s13-s15 swap them into there cars

[Cru1se_Missle]

basically you can fit any seat in your car, as long as the rails are mated properly to your seat.
Modifications are always needed if not fitting oem seats
