Has anyone done this, and what was the result? Do the S14 seats fit direct to the S13 bolt pattern? Do the seats sit any higher? We're kind of tall and need all the room we can get. Our old seats are dead, the foam is broken down, so need the upgrade if the S14's fit.Thanks -

yes they bolt in, sometimes the front tabs wont line up so you need something to bend them down a bit, then it fits. As for the seat height issue, im 6'1", the seat height remained the same and im still comfortable in the car.

w00t. I got some S14 seats for 1990 for $30. w00t. Are there any pics or suggestions or tricks about installing them? Or is it self evident?

It's 4 bolts/nuts.

Easier than changing oil.

Simple as fixing a flat.

Should take you 10 minutes TOTAL, even with one break for beer.

I dunno, I take my beer breaks very seriously. Is there a spring for the slide or anything I have to worry about?

Its all built into the seat bracket/slider...so you don't have to mess with it.

4 bolts for the WHOLE deal...nothing else to it, seriously.

You didn't tell me about the seat belt sensor!!! THE SEATBELT SENSOR!!!!!!!!

Took 30 minutes. would have taken 10 min if we didn't have to look for the right size socket. Thanks guys.

The Rear s14 seats dont fit. So you might want to leave in your s13 rear seat as is.

I found that out the hard way =/

I don't care about the other seats. Everyone else can suffer.
