Good question, I'm interested as well. Everyone's tryin to git there mits on s14 seats for their s13. Ive driven both cars and the Z seats are definitly more comfortable. Which means they probably weigh more:( ...This all seems like a pain in the butt though, I just might buy Corbeau A4's (adj.) or Forza's (fixed back) http://www.corbeau.com

as ive noticed of most seats.. they connect using 4 bolts from the floorboard to the seat rail.. so.. if you get 300z seats, and bend/weld your own mouting holes.. it should be as simple as that.

I have talked to someone who tried it--he told me that they were a little too wide to fit in the car--he had an s13 too.

No 300zx seats will not fit in a 240sx not even an s14. I've tried.

I did get 350z seats in a s14 though, but this required some welding.

Stock leather s14 seats make my *** hurt, so it was worth upgrading to the more comfy 350z seats for me.

Covered the cost of installation by selling s14 leather seats to a guy with a s13 convertable.

ok you dont know everything. I have seen a guy on ehre with a picture with 300zx seats ( leather) in his s13 hatchbak.. so dont tell me they wont fit.

I do have R33 GTS seats and they fit fine and are just as comfortable or more comfortable than s14 seats. The 300zx seats are wide, but I think anything is possible its just a matter of how much your willing to sacrifice to get them to fit. The picture below is of the R33 seats.

I guess it's just how much time you are willing to spend with it.

I figure if you know how to use a welder, willing to reweld the 240sx brackets and the 300zx brackets together/apart or what not, then you should be able to find a solution.

I'm sure it will be one big pain in the *** tho. I just finished installing my aftermarket seats, which had sparco brackets "made to fit." Not only were they a ***** to install, but the seat went up too high (probably won't be a major issue if you put in the 300 seats), then i had to redrill the holes (not fun either) and test mount them w/o sliders, which is now a little more acceptable.

I'm not sure what the price of used 300zx seats is, but I'm sure it's pretty expensive. So, if you want to do it, go for it, I wish I had the ability to do it (I don't know how to weld jack, I can barely drill ).

My only warning is if you decide to go aftermarket seats, watch out for height problems if you are 5'10" or higher.

and watch out about tearing the threading - I almost did that, that would not have been fun especially since it was driver's side hole.

240DRFT: that like of rudee's is sweeet. The seats look tite in there.

I guess if you're short that would be ok. Being 6'1", my hair brushes the roof of the car with the stock seats in the s14. I couldn't find a way to retain the electric adjustable 300z seat and give me enough head room. The 350z seats were a pain in the (alternative word for donkey) to install, but gave me the head clearance I was looking for. s13 has more head clearance to begin with so maybe its not as much of an issue.
