I just brought a blk 1993 S13 manual. Everything is great except for some minor annoying things.

The S13 have a bucket seat (driver side) so old and its in horrible condition. Therefore, I turn to ebay and brought some temporary seats that also look nice.
Links: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-RED- ... ccessories
BTW, I know the rumors/facts about buying from ebay. I just need temporary seats, i'll get good one when my income is higher.

I need help finding universal seat bracket for the 2 seats i brought above. ANy help will be greatly appreciated. thanks

Oh Yea, some parts are missing or broken in my car. The passenger automatic window switch is missing. the moon roof lock(or whatever those call) is broken. If you know a website, please share the link...much appreciation, thanks

congrats on the buy and don't be so quick to listen to everyones opinion on ebay items, do you're research and you can get some good stuff on there.

As far as needing parts for your car check out the classifieds, most likely look in the complete part outs section for those pieces.

OH, PICTURES!!! PICTURES are a MUST!!!

Congrats on the new car! I do know of a site where you can find those parts. Matter of fact, you just posted on it! Use the search button and look in the classifieds and you'll find what you need.

congrats on the buy, but i hope your only 5'5''.... because i also bought temporary knock off seats just like yours, and they sit extremely high..

i couldnt stand them and bought super clean s14 seats recently and couldnt be happier, sold the knock offs on craigslist

just a recomendation, but i imagine your brackets will be similar and sit the same...

Here you go man, they don't get much cheaper than this. And the company has a good reputation.

I've sat in aftermarket seats with bottom mounts and it's HORRIBLE. Make sure to get side mounts.

ebay isn't all bad.
if you can, only buy from sellers with good ratings and read reviews they've had,
especially on the product you're wanting (if they've sold that item before)

i agree with OutToWinPAHC,
get some nice s14 seats,
they'll look better, factory, and they're comfyyy.

Thank you so much and much appreciation for your help guys.

My future plan is to convert the car to all wheel drive...costly but worth the modification and i am going to keep this car forever.

Pictures will be up after i get the 350z brake calipers install.

I'm 5'8" and I think I will take your advice and invest in s14 seats(maybe with more $, i'll buy somthing costly).
