I doubt it. I had an M30 before I got the 240. The M30 has power front seats and the back seat is larger (as my kids can attest). The front drivers seat tends to wear pretty bad on the bolsters but is more comfortable than the 240. Really anything is more comfortable that the 240...

And the M30 vert was based on the Stanza frame so it doesn't look a anything like the 240.

Further more, the s13 has that wierd bump in the floor panel on the driver's side, making just about any other nissan seat hard to fit in w/o custom rails.

If this is true, I did not know and it is weird having a RWD car on a FWD platform. Had always heard the M30 was the ba$tard child and didn't match up with anything else.

I agree with biggie. If you just look at an M30 it looks like an 80ish styled 240. Sharper lines and the dash in them are more 80ish as well. I mean if it was based off a FWD car the engine bay would be alot smaller, but it has that big ole VG30 in it.

I think only a little of it reminds me of a 240.

But I am pretty sure there's no easy way to get the M30 seats in a 240. Much easier/cheaper options for seats.

I guess I meant that if you looked at a 1992 Stanza and a 1992 M30 convert you's see a lot of similarities in the hood, headlights, boxyness, etc. Plus the M30 was huge, as long as my 4Runner. I don't think they look anything alike.

The M30 (F31) seats will not "bolt in" a S13, I'm almost positive of that.

If you do some deep digging, IIRC, the F31 and the R31 can interchange seat rails. Does anyone know if R31 seats fit in an S13?
