s13 seats are good for something.. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

90KAcoupe · 12-16-2007, 05:42 PM

while i was at hockey practice my dad decided he hated our computer chair and made this..

its pretty comfortable.. and it reclines. so now u can do something with those crappy seats u have sitting in ur basement.

yokotas13 · 12-16-2007, 05:42 PM

writeup?
i wanna do it too

90KAcoupe · 12-16-2007, 05:48 PM

pretty simple.. take off the brackets.. get a peice of scrap metal to go across the bottom.. drill holes in the metal and in the bottom of the seat from and bolt it all together.. i'll take some good pics of what i did later.

jackjack · 12-16-2007, 05:51 PM

damn. that kicks ass.

BustedS13 · 12-16-2007, 05:54 PM

that's kinda cool. i knocked the mounts mostly flat on mine and drag it out when i play gran turismo.

Xandy Boosts · 12-16-2007, 06:28 PM

haha my cousin has his in his room just on the floor. Why do they feel so good when you can stretch your legs out sitting in em, but in your car tehy feel like crap

90KAcoupe · 12-16-2007, 06:32 PM

i guess cause ur fighting to stay in the seat when ur in the car.. if ur fighting to stay in ur seat at ur house.. u need to get ur foundation checked out.

kyles1988 · 12-16-2007, 06:33 PM

Nice, I have the same thing, only mine is a Bride Zeta III. Good halo chair.

90KAcoupe · 12-16-2007, 06:35 PM

^^ i wish i had the money to put a bride seat in my car

muddafakka · 12-16-2007, 07:05 PM

Very nice...

I wish I thought of this before I bought a new computer chair.

I'll probably end up using mine when I play videogames.

The bitch is the seat rails...like 200 bucks...but I guess after dropping 900 on a seat, whats another 200.

One of the only reaons I don't have it in my S14 is that my s14 is pretty much stock and having a full bucket seat in a 240 with an SR and a bunch of bolt-on's, hardly lowered and with a stock steering wheel just seemed kind of goofy to me. I'll put it in when I stop being a bitch and finish geting my turbo setup together

SW20Racer · 12-16-2007, 07:25 PM

get some "retarded monster" graphics on that thing and ill call it a chair

240sx_LE · 12-16-2007, 07:26 PM

your dad rules! can i +rep him? then again, im too lazy to even figure out how to.

180sx Fan · 12-16-2007, 08:26 PM

looks sweet but it looks like it would flip over really easy?

90KAcoupe · 12-16-2007, 08:28 PM

^^ no i've tried.. it doesnt flip... i figured it would be top heavy. but its not.

*downshift_sideways* · 12-16-2007, 08:29 PM

I've actually slept on these seats a couple times.

Nice crash spot when you got no where else to lay down.

*!Zar!* · 12-16-2007, 09:26 PM

Good idea.

But then he'll realize that the s13 isn't a great seat to sit in for over 5 minutes.

lol.

Props to your dad.

qwikspool · 12-16-2007, 10:40 PM

cool seat. i wouldnt mind doing one.

*Yuri* · 12-17-2007, 12:21 AM

I've got one in the corner of my living room for my cats to sleep on.

soreballz · 12-17-2007, 12:30 AM

I did this with a Sparco Sprint. Terrible in the car, but a GREAT gaming/PC chair. lol

2iv0 sx · 12-17-2007, 12:33 AM

Nice job! hahah

Yeah I have one chilling in my room that I use for my reading chair...

WERDdabuilder · 12-17-2007, 01:40 AM

you really should consider getting a job, possibly an apartment... maybe even a bed one day. trust me, not only do you have a better chance of getting laid, but you'll back will feel much better!

your dad, is a mothafuckin PIMP. that sounds like some shit i would do to my kid..........................

*exitspeed* · 12-17-2007, 08:32 AM

Here's another good use. It's not complete, but since this picture the seat has been mounted to a base and is completely functional. Once there is a solid release date for GT5, I'll get crackin on finishing it up.

Unholy S14 · 12-17-2007, 08:37 AM

^ damn i like that

*MELLO*SOS* · 12-17-2007, 10:22 AM

Cool comp chair! Vicarious rep for your dad. S13 seats are awesome out of the car, very comfy to chill in and take a break from wrenching...
