Seats?

Post by **85NIS720** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 12:25 pm

Well, I'm not sure if anyone has posted a topic about this or not, but I want to change the seats in my 720 with something that looks nicer and is more comfortable. I was thinking something like S14 leather buckets, but how much work would it be? Suggestions/ideas would be great.

i know breadbox was going to put i believe s13 seats in his. its all a matter of how they bolt in... just compare the two and see if they do, and if not some minor fabrication should do it... i don't think its too difficult

i found good 4 point harness bucket seats from hyperautoparts.com for 289 a pair shipping is usually around 110 but the seats that are 289 are 500 to 600 dollar racing seats they are cloth not leather so they dont get extremly cold, extremly hot, and dont break easy and if your picky like me you dont let any one eat in your truck/car at all and i keep my truck as clean as i can get it.

o and the seats come with a universal bracket system and if it has to be modified its not very much modification. take a look for yourself http://www.hyperautoparts.com/...t=377

those seats look pretty good, and a steal...if they're decent!? Anyone have any feedback on them? I was just planning on going to the yard and picking out 2 seats from a wreck and fabbing up some brackets off the stock ones, but I found a set on that website (thanks Trucker) that I really like!

Oh, and BTW, there are quite a few threads about this exact topic, I suggest sifting through them cuz there's a lot of good feedback and ideas about what you're asking!

Installed sport seats. Cant say what they came from as I got them from another 720.

Home made brackets as the seats are wider than stock.

Trucker - those seats look great, but I just have too many questions about them. There are plenty of options, and I'm going to the local Pull-a-Part this weekend to get some ideas. Thanks guys!

Just a shot of my interior now.

Post by **Project Trucker** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:06 pm

i like the pedals i think im going to go get a new dash and put in some new dials in it like a tach etc. i want digital not not digital i think im also gonna put some cop lights under the dash and seats to make it glow like neon ill probable do red and green any feed back on what colors i should do i could also do blue but i only have 1 light so the interior would be green, gray, black, and red or blue

Sweet man. My dash is still in great shape, IMO. The white face gauges I got were only $17 and my tach was about $25, which works great.

does it have the shift light? i was thinkin about one of those but mabe noti also found my wheels but i got to check with kwiki tire to make sure the bolt patern will work

Post by **85NIS720** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:20 pm

Mine doesn't, it's just a Sunpro 2 3/4" tachometer from the local auto parts store. It's not huge, it was simple to install, and it has an adjustable redline. And I'm actually trying to find some wheels myself, what kind are you going with?

Post by **Project Trucker** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:26 pm

well i like summits selection im into amercan dragster style or the 1990's ford aluminum wheels with the holes cut out of them other wise some spoked wheels kinda like the really old fords ill put a link here$39 a piece ones http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-3975812/$49 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-3155855/

i think the first one is the best it goes with the paint i want it is about the right size (stock) and its got the holes instead of spoke

Post by **85NIS720** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:27 pm

Those should look pretty good. What color are you planning on painting it?

Post by **Project Trucker** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:30 pm

its a celery green color paint its green/grey and the interior like i want will be grey green with lime green subs and speakers with boss bullet tweeters and a awsome custom built center piece put in by me here is the link for paint http://www.paintforcars.com/ae....html

Post by **85NIS720** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:35 pm

Sounds like it should turn out pretty good, I don't think I've seen that color before. Keep us updated!Mine's going to be metallic red with a black interior.

i am also looking into a new steering wheel and components but im not quite sure how to do it yet so im gonna learn how to disect the driving colum from my datsun 720 book lol

Post by **Project Trucker** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:39 pm

heres the steering wheel http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GRT-338/

Post by **85NIS720** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:41 pm

Sweet. I'm trying to find a certain Nissan steering wheel, I think PEZi has one. I'm not too worried about my steering wheel though, and I'm probably gonna take a break on my interior once I finish hiding my stereo wiring and get some black leather buckets.

post a link to your seats

Post by **85NIS720** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 5:15 pm

A link to the seats I have now or the seats I'm looking for?

Post by **Project Trucker** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 5:18 pm

Post by **85NIS720** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 5:21 pm

I'd like to get some leather S14 buckets, like these

But I might go with some seats of the sight you posted, the black ones with red stitching.

Post by **Project Trucker** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 5:22 pm

very nice looking

Post by **85NIS720** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 5:23 pm

I love the seats, I"m just not sure how well they'd go with my 720. Also, there's the problem with brackets and clearance seeing how my ECU is under my driver's seat.

Post by **gregfarz78** » Sat Oct 17, 2009 9:19 am

For the price you'll pay for s14 leather seats (people think they are worth a premium), check out 350z cloth seats same price or cheaper and better seats IMO I picked up a set in mint condition for $250. If I pick up this 720 I'm going to try and fit them in there

Post by **Project Trucker** » Sat Oct 17, 2009 4:04 pm

where do you get the seats from? junkyard or online site if so post the link to the website
