I need to replace my seats in my 89 240SX but I don't want the sports/racing seat look. I am a big guy and find them uncomfortable. What kind of seat new or used can I install with little to no modifications?

S14 seats bolt right in. Much more comfortable and bigger too. S15 seats same deal.

Skyline seats need to be modified.

S14 seats will be the easiest (time and money)S15 seats are more expensive and harder to find (and frankly, not THAT much better)

S14 seats are by far the best bang for the buck, comfort wise. They bolt in with no modification at all.

I have s15 seats, and I personally believe they feel much better than s14 seats. I often get offers from people who ride in my car for the seats. It really updates the look of the interior too.

But S14 seats are nice, look better, more comfortable than stock s13 sweats.

my stock leather seats feel a little more comfortable then the cloth ones, maybe its just me, i like the look of the R32 seats but S14 seats are nice as well.

there were a few different styles in the S13's, in cloth and leather

S13 leather Seats (the ones in my car have a different stich pattern than these tho...)

Thanks for the response. Just one problem, I don't know the tech names for the seats. S14 seats come out of what car(s). Where can I get a set? New or used? When you guys talk S14, S13, R32 etc., I have no idea - yet. I hope to learn as I start my upgrading.

S14 seats come out of 240s from 1995 - 1998S13 come in 240s from 1989 - 1994R32 is a nissan skyline - I think 1989 - 1994 or so.
