Hey all, first of all I would like to say hi, I have been scopin out the forums for a few days now and decided to register. I own a 1989 240sx hatch, and I love the bugger to death.

Well anyways I destroyed my stock s13 seats cause I am pretty big, iam about 6'4 290ish pounds. I know most people are like, wtf are you doing in there and how the hell did you get it? Well anyways I put some ugly *** s14 seats in there I ripped out of a junk yark and put some seat covers on them. But I want to buy some nice bucket seats, but then again I am big and I don't know if I will fit. Is there any big guys out there that have purchased and install some nice seats in there 240's?? Let me know, and once again HI!

I am 240 lbs and fit fine in the S14 seats...

Maybe you could swap in something like a infiniti seat!

Welcome to NICO, NoStickDrift.

I've heard that Skyline seats are larger and more comfortable, but I have yet to see that for myself.

Aftermarket-wise, I just rifled through an old SCC article on seats and found a few you might consider:

Corbeau A4 - $320NEX Racing Rs-101 - $275Sparco Speed - $289

Also, you could consider the Sparco Evo 3. A little more pricey ($629) but it is designed for larger drivers.

Where in Ventura do you live? I'm down here in Camarillo... I go up there all the time.

my corbeau forza will fit up to a 36" waist, i dont know if your over that or not, but ive got plenty of space int. but yeah, your best option might be the a4.

i dont think the sparco speed will work.

i always heard that skyline seats were kinda small because they were made for japanese people which are normally smaller than americans

I'm not exactly a slim guy and my S-14 seats work fine. Maybe if you can fit in some Eclipse front seats. They are pretty comfy.
