[Brian]

Bride zeros!

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

the best seats are the ones that fit you. i like recaro SPG's because they cradle my booty, but if you're a bigger dude, they might not be so kind. likewise with bride, sparco, etc etc. try them out.... honestly,

if it don't fit, you musn't by it.

[projectRDM]

[Massimo Power]

[bboyswoosh87]

personaly i like the r32 seats

[drift freaq]

This is such a subjective question. The best seat is what suits you. I have R33 GTR seats and love them. I would love to have R34 GTR seats. Do I want to pony up the crazy money it would cost to get them stateside? Hell no. lol For that reason I am running R33 GTR seats.

It also depends on how much time you spend at the track.If you go to the track all the time then a proper racing bucket or specifically track oriented seat is ideal. If your looking for a double duty seat well then a GTR seat does pretty well.

Though some people will still just go Bride,Recaro, Sparco,Corbeu, instead and sacrifice some of the usability they would have with a seat like a GTR seat in favor of a little more of track oriented seat.
Though I feel for the compromise of street and track a GTR seat usually rules.

bride zeta 3!!!

[sileighty83]

s15 seats are the best and plus they are bolt on

true dat homie. I got S15's.... direct bolt on. However if your a tall guy like me (6' 2") I don't recommend them cause your head barely touches the roof. They sit higher then the stock S13 buckets.

[Addicted2Kouki]

I love the recaro SPG. it just.. fits.

but as mentioned above, its all personal preference.
skyline seats do sound like something you are looking for though.
or maybe some reclining bucket seats.

[dori_sil8t]

public bus driver seat... awsome....
i have a sprint jr. i likes... and i dd the car

[JRas]

Which seats are the best in comfort, racing use, and everyday street use for the S13/S14?


obviously, their is no one seat that is the best and fits all

are you looking for a bucket seat or reclineable?

a seat that may be the 'best' for racing, may not be the best for street use or comfort.

you need to think, whats the seat going to be used for most? whats the most important? price? and so on...

[98koukile]

Status ring for DD/weekend warrior... only if you want to be baller, OEM nissan seats from the skylines are tits

[red240]

I'm using a Sparco Prodrive WRC for driver currently. Its kinda tight and hurts your lower back on long journeys but for track work its awesome.

Gotta find a decent recliner for the passenger. Using Sparco Rev currently and two fixed seats in a coupe doesn't work.

[ixfxi]

If you're not a fat snowbeast, the R32/R33 GTR seats are the pinnacle of seats, if you ask me. I've sat in numerous seats throughout my time, and these are the absolute best.. even better than mainstream recaro seats. The reason for this is because they're made for Japanese market, so the seats are perfect for smaller individuals. The foam is absolute bliss, its amazing how damn comfortable those seats are.

I've looked into attaining the R34 seats, next to near impossible unless your name is Scrooge McDuck and you've got a pair of thousand dollar gold moneybags blowing out of your ass. I cannot say if they are better or worse in comparison to the older GTR seats, but from the quick sit down they felt pretty good. Looks-wise, they're extremely pretty.

The R34 seat is quite possibly the only seat I would pickup to replace my R32 seats. In specific, GTR seats (not GTST).

LOL. I've actually done that before when pressure washing seats. You have to lean over all crazy to fit in though.

Well Said!!! I tried out a few stockers before i got my G35 Seats. But i do LOVE THE R33 GT-R's the best...just $$$$!! GT-R's FTW! :)

I once had an uncle sit me on one of those in a 71 monte carlo that smelled like one big fuel leak. and then he decided he would spell my name in tire marks. I hate him.

[greddyguy]

A good alternative to r34 seats would be the ones jic magic makes. They look identical to them

That'd be the OEM Alto Works 550 seat.

Best bang for the buck.
Its a bucket seat, and its reclineable.
Best dam reclineable bucket seat you can buy at this price.

[mangoes]

Bride Brix =D

[aznkipz]

Yea I know its my preference but I didn't get to sit in too many seats so I donno which ones are the best for me. Anyone around Jersey willing to meet up and chill check each others 240s out and help me out with seat choice if you have? Well from the looks of it, I am kind of towards the GTR R34 seats but they are definitely expensive. Anyone know costs?

looks like it will fit two hobos in that ugly monster.

[usdm180sx]

I had a Bride Zeta 3 and now a Recaro SPG. Recaro SPG > Bride Zeta 3 imo

[ROUGE180]

looks like it will fit two hobos in that ugly monster.

I just bought that exact seat and I must say it's damn sweet!! No Hobos or monsters here! I'm 5'10" 200lbs with a 33 inch waist and I fit perfectly despite the fact that I have really broad shoulders. The actual quality of the unit is fantastic. The padding is adequate, the stitching is great and the mechanism for reclining the unit works very well. For a person who is on a budget I find this seat to be fantastic.

To the OP: It's really comes down to your budget and what you're going to use it for. DD? Track? Both? Sit in your friends’ seats to see how they feel. Go to some shops and test them out.

[The Chad]

Looks like the OP is sold on GT-R seats. R34 are too $$$$ though buddy!! Save a few buckaroos and get the R33. I see them on Ebay all the time for a decent price. Also check some European Skyline Forums. Good Luck!

[aznkipz]

I see. Also, how is the ride height on the R34 or R33 seats?

[drift freaq]

I see. Also, how is the ride height on the R34 or R33 seats?

R32,R33,R34 GTR seats sit pretty low in fact a lot lower than many of the aftermarket seats. Unless you spend extra for ultra low rails.

[Johny5]

recaro spg hands down, in both cars.

brix I for passenger in s14, its comfy too :)

[mr_240sx]

r32gtr seats are nice as well. a few local guys here run them.


i loved my Bride Vios III when i had it. fit awesome and sat extremely low on s13. way lower than stock seats or gtr seats. its great for tall people.

Recaro SPG, Bride Zetta II and III are awesome seats as well.


just sit in as many seats as possible and then decide which holds you better.

[tr4c3]

I'm going to be using the seats out of my old turbo FC (stock t2 seats). Should get the job done for now. Got to have lumbar support!

[itz_jOw3]

I would say it all depends on a persons size to find the most suited seat for a person.

how are you tall s14 guys mounting your recaro's?

[g6civcx]

Which seats are the best in comfort, racing use, and everyday street use for the S13/S14?

If there is any other company that is better, please mention.

I am not saying that it's the best, but I use Kirkey. The aluminium seat can be customized to the shape of your body. I have not seen any other seat under $2,000 that can offer this feature.

I have used mine for over 3 years, including a mix of every type of driving.

Good luck.

R32gtr - end thread.
I picked mine up for 550.00 shipped. Best stock seat for the S13 in my opinion.
I love how they return to original position after you recline or fold them forward.
They hold like a glove.

[KOUKIboy]

^^^are these great asshugers?...;)

[wow-thats-a-cool-car]

Norwegian Drift Cup Champion Seat FTW

[shytdoode]

you can always go with the cheaper buddy club seats and they have bigboys sizes to for people like us =D

[luckvx]

s15 seats for the win

[iitywygms]

^^^are these great asshugers?...;)
I am a ass and they hold me great.......

[tr4c3]

Those r32 seats look real nice. I think I might check those out for the coupe.

[Icy13]

I have heard talk of memoryfab r98 reclinable buckets (http://http://www.memoryfab.com/products/detail_accessories_4/#) as a good "budget" option.

[drift_jdm]

+1 for r32 gtr. i found one used for 100$, the gtr rails bolt ip except for one of the mounts which requires only a small bit of modification to fit in an s13. my only gripe about it is that using the r32 seatbelt anchoring position with the s13 belt, it sits very high if you're skinny, making it not even tough your hips, so i mounted the buckle to the seat mount on the tranny tunnel.

[jspecusa]

out of all the seat we have sold and install here are the ranking.
1. R34 GTR seat(wider then R32,R33) and better shoulder support,
I'm 145LBS and 5ft 8in tall this seat is a bit big for me(I have this seat curretly in my GTR)
2. R32,R33 GTR seat fits me perfectly, not recommend for fat guys.
3. Bride Brix(Koffice) seat, held you like a monster yet it's wide on top for the bigger guys.
4. factory Nissan/Honda Recaros, wide and easy to get in and out of.
the above ranking is for a street car, track car not recommended.
cheers,

sam

[lazysk8er2]

when i borrowed my friends evo for a long while i fell in love with his seats they are great for track use and comfy for the 150 miles i do daily. so i stuck them in my car. they sit a bit high but i am only 5'9" and have it positioned perfectly for me. they dont have a fast recline mechanism so the back seats are useless. its really hard to hardjust them when the door is closed but no body else drives my car neway or sit in the back seats. more people just means extra weight neway right?

[aznkipz]

Jspec you had good info but the seats Im looking for is for track use too. Basically, my S13 is gonna be for daily driving and also track probably once a week or so.

[kingston240]

they are good for racing. i have one in my drift car right now and its awesome, but it is becoming track use only, so i am selling the driver side seat in my 240. msg if you want R32 gtr seat.

just washed it up so the color is wet spots

[gotspins13]

brides are known to to some of the best thats why theyre so expensive and you dont move at all its great =]

[itz_jOw3]

sig. testing testing hehe

[redsuns3838]

whatever fits your ass comfortably. all the seats listed fit people totally different. bride zeta III fits me perfect, but it doesn't fit the 6'2 dude with a 35 waist weighing 190 lbs. you gotta plop down in a seat before u buy it, no other way about it
