Seats...

My stock seats SUCK. I've read a couple of posts about using seats from Miatas and other cars. My question is, which other cars' seats will fit (without too many mods) into a 79-83 ZXT? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Anything can fit with a little ingenuity...I'm in the process of installing a set of CRX seats using the frame rails that came with it. I've heard that Civic, Fierro, Z31 and Miatas fit the 280zx.

As you can see, it can be done. I'll have more info on CRX seats once I start the modifications.

you can pretty much use any seat you find... the hard part is finding the mounting brackets.. i have recaros in mine and i used the origional mounting brackets from my old seats.. i tore my old seats apart and mounted my new seats to them.. it still uses the origional slide and tilt from the Zs seats but look and feel of really great sport seats...

Corbeau A4 install

Exactlly, I plan to tear into some junk yard seats and use the ralis for my brand new Corbeau A4 I have dry fit them and they look great. I will tell you how I progress. It may be that I fall apart and Order the damn sliders from a Corbeau dealer but they are like $100 for one shipped to my house! That is harsh plus they only slide in and out, check e0bay thatr is eher I got the seats now for the hard part the install.
