i searched briefly and found none. oh god no, i didnt search. O_O

anyways. my stock s13 seat hurts my ass and lower thigh when i drive for 1:30h or 2h straight. Does anyone know how to fix this like add some cushion? i threw a pillow but it still hurt.. i wonder if this is common amongst all s13 seats

maybe try looking into getting S14/S15 seats? or aftermarket seats. just a thought.

Man, i was in the same boat.
Just straight up chuck that shit in the nearest river.
Zenki seats are the WORST. Only way you could get more comfort out of it would be to take it to an upholstery shop to get some more foam added. But for that amount of trouble, might as well just upgrade.
But really, S14 seats can be had for like 100-150 bucks at junkyards, if not cheaper depending on your luck. Best way to do it on teh cheaps.

im looking at something cheap for now, im definitely heading towards corbeaus in the near future, but i need a helmet for ddays, and registration is 100$ all the time. so thats alot AND i need new rims since mine got fucked up this weekend and i dont wanna repair (too much work) so thats for later.

seriously man, it fucking hurts me so much. Are s14 seats any better? cause i dont know if s15 ones are direct swap, and probably much harder to find around my area (no s15s ever really come up in chicago)

s13/s14/s15 seats are direct swap, I also heard but not sure you can fit r32/r34 seats directly as well don't quote me... I have s14 seats + seat belts and I love it.

Yes, S14 seats are a hefty upgrade.
R32's bolt in, but i believe the rear right tab doesn't bolt up.
No big deal.

No big deal.

Actually its the left rear tab that needs to be either extended or swapped with the tab of your s13/s14 seat rail. You can do that by using a welder.

Now as far as it not being a big deal? Its not exactly the safest thing to do i.e. running it with the tab unbolted. There is a reason your seats rails have 4 more mounting points to the chassis.

As to the OP's original question. No S13 seats pretty much suck. Though back in the day someone did mention a fix on 240sx.org for the problem you are having. These days though a set of S14 seats is so affordable and they are so much better why bother.

lol yeah, i dont want to be driving hard and my seat tip to the side... O_O

so s14 seats can be had cheap and direct swap? As for the seat belts, are they going to run into issues with that? i don't wanna swap mine out, its such a advantage to not have to worry about putting it on!

Everything about S14 and S15 seats is bolt-on to an S13.
