I have the bigger seats out of a 01 4d r34 not the thinner buckets like urs. Whole kinda line up but u have to tweak the seat and it will sit crooked. I'll have to mount the s13 seat brackets on the r34 ones just need more time. Rails are the same just the tabs are different and try make the seat sit up higher. Need to take the seats apart so they don't burn when welding the tabs on.

No these r34 seats feel way better than s14 seats. Got the driver seat in. Way different from what people were saying that 3 bolts like up only 2 line up and one needs to be boarded out to make the bolt like up and the 4th rear bracket has to be changed for the s13 bracket. Was a pain but they feel great. Will post pics soon.

wait, you can't just swap rails? It looks like an S14 seat.

how much did you pay for the r34 seats?

because if you paid the typical jdm tax like i imagine you did, i dont see why you wouldnt just re-upholster and have a super fresh set of s14s...

but it is still original, so +1 for that

They have the same blueish fabric but they are not like s14 seats they are wider and have more padding. I have an s 13 don't know how the rails on the s14 seats are. The 13 seats mount on the side and r34s mount on the bottom. :poke: no I got a steal on the seats if I told u how much some people would cry I didn't pay the :bs: Jdm tax I could get a few sets of 14 seats with the money in saved couldn't ask for anything better took a bit of cutting and welding but the results speak for themselves now if this rain stoped I could get some good pics to show u guys. I'm 5'10 and have no roof clearance problem. :dblthumb: :woot:

well if you picked them up for cheap, then good on you, i would have done the same... im still curious of how you got them for so cheap..

but fyi the s14 seats are a direct relpacement for s13s... all four bolts line up perfectly and still sit as low ( im 6'3'' so roof clearence is a problem, especially with a hemlet on)

Why would you even waste your money on R34 seats when you could just by a bride or something.

This may be somewhat of an old thread, but you guys do know that the 02-06 sentra ser specvs come with these exact seats right? Hate to be the bearer of bad news. Lol. They have a different seat cover, but identical in shape. 02's were red and black mesh, 03-04 were black and grey, while the 05-06 were all black.

Ya but I got a great deal on them. The ser seats would probly be more than I paid for these. And how often do people sell ser seats?
