uhhh what? are you saying the rail has no holes? and what is a "silvia" seat? Arent they all the same? But just says "180sx" on it or something.

you're missing brackets, go to a junkyard and pick some up.

Or use the existing brackets off your old stock seats.

zip ties? no. dont even think about it. when u think ur good, youre gonna hit something, or something will hit you, believe me. Safety FIRST!!! its not worth severe migraines from a bad accident.

no there are no other alternatives. get rid of the seats and go oem or somthing with side mounts and side mount rails.

So with OEM sliders, the seats are too tall??

Or you just wanna feel all sunk in??

cause being able to see over the hood and out the 1/4 glass is a good thing.

Soooo, do you wanna be a race car driver, or just look like one??

Im sure you can fab something up man.

do the rails even line up with the stock mounting points? if so you could just take the mounting tabs from a stock seat and weld them on to the aftermarket seat rails.

Talk to DALAZ_68, I think he had/has the same seat. Find out what he did to make it work.

fuck rails.

Weld that bitch to the floor.

I like your "silvia" seats. I heard they only came in the special edition s14.5 silvia's.

I bet you that seat will fuck up within 1 month of hard driving. better get a tire placed in back of that seat..you never know when your gonna need it :keke:.

Well, as everyone has already said; U need brackets. Get some Bride or Sparco brackets, and U're golden. Seat swapping is straight forward process. However, if I may, get urself an S15 seat. U'll B happy. Straight bolt-on.
