I have the brown/off-white tweed in a '91 240sx. The driver's seat is shot. Dealer quoted an outrageous price of like $1000! Anywhere else to get it? Is it still available?

One word - stock. The other seats are in perfect condition. I want to keep the car stock and replace only the driver's seat cover/upholstery. I thought maybe one of you may know of someplace that sells the OEM seat covers other than the dealer.

If you're a fan of OEM stock stuff, seriously look into OEM factory S14 seats (95-98 240SX). The cloth is better and the seats are more supportive. Bolts directly into a S13 (89-94 240SX). An excellent pair cost me $200, and it was probably the best investment I have made for my car.

Thanks, but I want to spend as little as possible and only replace the driver's seat upholstery. I also don't want mismatched front and rear seats.

The simple solution then would be to pull the rear seats since they are useless anyway.

I think upholstery is more trouble than it's worth. Might even be more costly than just buying a pair of S14 seats.

So, there isn't a source of Nissan OEM seat covers other than the dealer?

Will they match my other tweed seats? Is it less than $100?
