And they look and feel great. Imagine my delight when I found that the S15 seats dropped right into my S14 chassis, no modification needed The whole install only took about an hour. What really took forever was swapping out my shift boot with a leather piece from Redline Goods. Those washers on the back of the shift console were evil lil' sons of bishes All in all, I got the seats, shift boot w/knob, ebrake handle w/boot, and my leather console cover all installed tonight. *phew* tomorrow I'm going to tackle the carbon fiber dash kit and maybe the S15 steering wheel. Then my interior is DONE...

until I see something else I like

Pics!

Wow, those look NICE! How much were they and where did you get them? They look pretty much the same as the S14 seats, just a little nicer material and construction.

Thanks, I got them off ebay for about $700 for the pair. They're similar to my old S14 seats, but with better bolstering and much better fit and finish

Get us a bunch of pics of the interior when you're done (dash kit in, etc...). Looks awesome.

I recently acquired a S15 drivers chair myself. Sure is a GREAT seat for everyday use. Very tasteful interior I must say. Sweet ride!

It looks like the Red Stitch knob that you can get for the 300zx. Courtesy has them, I was wandering if they'd fit. Am I correct on that, or do they make one for the 240's? Interior looks great by the way!!

You're right, it's the JDM Z32 shift knob, and I got it from Courtesy Nissan Just screws right on, nothing custom needed.

that is correct. It's the "JDM" z32 shift knob. Which is exactly the same thing as the American version...except maybe w/red stitching.

They look real nice man.

Do you know how much fabrication is necessary to put them into an s13? Also, where could I get the leather console cover?

Nice looking interior, make sure you post pics once you get the whole thing finished.

There's a sticky at the top of this forum, if I'm correct.

Is the z32 shift knob just as hefty as the stock knob, or lighter?

Wow those really do go well w/the interior. I'm assuming those are real leather? I don't know why but I kinda like the cloth version too.

Yeah, but this is a daily driver and I don't plan on any drifting or circuit racing, so comfort is still somewhat of an issue. If I was going to go with Sparcos, I would have wanted a set of Milano's, which was waaaay out of my price range. Let's not mention what they charge for the leather versions...

And to answer an earlier question...yes, the Z32 shift knob is just as heavy, if not heavier than the stock knob.

Installed my carbon fiber dash kit earlier today...I'll post up pics if the weather is nice tomorrow.

I want the leather armrest cover from Redline, but they only have them for the S14. This may be a dumb question, but do you think the S14 cover will fit the S13 (and not look sloppy)?
