Bucket seat install

Post by **kmyers** » Mon May 18, 2009 11:39 am

I just went and picked up a pair bucket seats from a 1994 pathfinder. There pretty nice. They are grey leather, heated. They have the lumbar,adjustable headrest. I got them for 100$ But im wondering if there going to just bolt right in my 1996 regular cab? Can anyone tell me if there are bolt holes for the bucket seats? Are they just bolt in deal?

yes they are a direct bolt inu might need to trim the carpet to get to the holes near the tranny tunnel, also ur gonna have to figure out the wiring for them....

Well thats good. At least they will just bolt in. I wonder why they have the holes for bucket seats even if it comes with a bench? The only power they have is the heat. Im not going to worry about hooking that up.

No need to trim the carpet on a Reg cab. Those seats will bolt right in. I love mine, can't live without them! They give the truck a whole different feel, a comfortable yet semi-exciting aspect to driving become apparent after a few drives. Some love bench seats while others loath them, I am in with the latter.

Other things you will want to consider:

-Installing the back carpet from a King Cab(and the metal finisher trim) will cover up the back wall and cut down on road noise. Direct bolt in.

-A center console is a must. Once again any King Cab center console from 94-99 will be a direct bolt in. Reg cab has bolt holes already there, make sure you grab the mounting hardware.

Check out Mrecoolgar's thread about rebuilding his HB. Lots of good ideas in there.

It's more cost effective to have both models use the same floorboards rather than having two assembly lines making two different floorboards.

Yeah i guess that makes since just one floor pan for them all. I was going to get the console but when i got there i saw that it wouldnt work. It was an automatic and the E-brake is also in the console so...

As for the carpet in the rear,I allready have carpet back there. And the back wall has a sub enclosure all the way across that is carpeted. It goes right under the lip that sticks out just under the rear glass. I may just build my own console, that way i can make it how i want. I will build it out of fiberglass and wrap it in grey vinyl. Thanks guys for the info. Does 100$ sound like a good deal for a set of leather pathfinder seats?

good luck with the buckets man i wish u th ebest, but hate them with a passion, i tried them and yanked them back out nearly as fast as i put them in if not faster....they sit up too high for my taste...i guess im a slouch

Post by **kmyers** » Mon May 18, 2009 3:50 pm

Too high? They look like they sit lower. I was wondering if my amps would still fit under the seat. Man a little higher wont be bad but if there all crazy i will have a nice set of leather seats for sale...LOL

the only downside of the buckets in a regular cab is the inability to recline. You'll sit up straight, especially if you're 5-10 or taller. Still, it's a mod well worth the money, because those benches are terrible.

Yeah im going to try them out before i get rid of my bench seat. Im 5' 7'' so well see i guess...lol

need help with wiring can upload some diagrams,did the same thing for my HB just the seats are from 1996 Infinity Q30t )))Feel like infinity inside:!!!

Did the infinity seats fit in okay? I am also looking at upgrading my cloth bucketsto leather from a maxima or infinity if they will bolt to my mounting rails. I know the maxima rails mount a little different in rear. Was hoping to unbolt my bucket rails and bolt to bottom of infiniti or maxima leather seats. The local junkyard has some.

I think you have to cut and weld different rails, they don't just bolt on.

Post by **kmyers** » Wed May 20, 2009 7:51 pm

Well got mine in today...Man what a breeze. Thats sweet how they just bolt in. No having to fabricate for once. The only issue i had was i had to move my amps. Other than that it was a snap. I went ahead and took the sub out and one of the amps. So im back to 6 1/2's in the doors. They rock its all i need. And i have a little more room now. But now i have to carpet the back of the cab. Anyone need a ported box for a ten and a amp and a sony low profile ten?;-) Oh and a bench seat in good shape;-)

What were you refering too? The seat or the system?

Post by **xxskouxx** » Thu May 21, 2009 3:27 pm

$175 plus shipping. I will send you the Sub the amp and the ported box. The sub is a Sony Xplod XS-L10S. The amp is a SONY XM-2200GTX and the box was built by a friend of mine that used to build demo vehicles for Sony. It is port tuned to 35 hertz. And covered with grey oem carpet. The sub has a mounting depth of only 2 1/8'' so we built the box the whole length of the back of the cab to get the correct air space without having to loose seat room. It will mount above the airbag box and under the window by about 2'' and bolts to the back wall where there are bolt holes from the factory. It played really low and loud. I had the amp bridged mono and had way more power than it needed. Let me know. Im in Greenville SCThe whole thing is about 8 months old and in perfect shape other than a couple scratches on the amp.

no the infinity seats not fit prefect had to make 2 custom extensions brakets and one bolts in where the old rail is. the other one I took the washers off the seatbelt and then bolted the seat to the seat belt, 16 mm bolt. I can take a pic if u want...

What is an "Infinity Q30t"? Do you mean the Infiniti I30 (looks a lot like the Maxima of the same era)? The lettering was a little odd in those years, but I think that's the only thing it could be.

you might be right they can have different names and etc but this is a pic of what the car looked...http://i7.photobucket.com/albu...2.jpg

Post by **Rev_D21** » Mon Jun 08, 2009 2:00 pm

I30. The 'I' was fancy.

Post by **Gogolinskiy** » Mon Jun 08, 2009 3:37 pm

i hate their brackets they are too wide,and i cant weld in the old ones because their manual and the q30t's seats are fully power:(so 2 bolts for now....

I just picked up a pair of 95 Pathfinder buckets today fromLKQ in Utah. A couple of rips in the driver seat and the cloth is pefect. I'll be installing them tomorrow. They have a lot of the older trucks now. I have 94 std cab.I live in SoCal and they yards all over the country plus they bought Keystone so they have it all.
