Like the ones in the Mastermind Sprit Rei Odyvia. Are they hard to find? Any info on tracking these down is a huge help. Thanks!

Also a wall paper of that car would be cool. I just bought a 240sx (92 USDM) with a blown motor and a whole plague of other stuff. I was going to leave it for parts until I came across these Odyvia's. Might have to pump some money into this project if I can get the few keys parts from these cars I like.

Looks like Bride seats re-wrapped to look like oldschool Z seats.

That's the first time of heard of Datsun bucket seats, but those pics look like your generic fiberglass bucket seats with custom leather covers on them.
You could replicate those fairly easily using that method.

Turns out they are Kenmeir Skyline Bucket Seats. Less then 400 of those made, apparently (says the guy I spoke to on the phone) they're anywhere from $2000 - $5000 a set, CND.

I'd go with Nakamae Type-R seats, they look more authentic IMO.

I put these in my 240Z.

Very comfortable. I have had the car on the track and they provide good support. Not like the newer designed stuff, but enough to keep you in the seat.

I got them from Z car customs:
