I've been searching but I haven't found anyone that has talked about the Nismo seats in an sort of detail..

I did find a lot of info on Bride. Is that the seat of choice for a 240?

My future s13 will be primarily a daily driver so I'm looking for something that is comfortable but also holds me in place when I'm hitting corners and drifting (which will probably 1 day out of a quarter).

i always thought those were some generic ebay seats with nismo embroidered on them illegally. probably done in china, they do that pretty well. id be surprised if they were REAL nismo seats.

steve_o1989 · 08-31-2008, 05:38 PM

They are not real Nismo seats. They are a genaric chinese seat with Nismo embroidered onto them.

I've found the below as well. I'm sure NISMO does makes seats for the 240. I'm thinking about picking up a pair but I don't wanna regret it later on (if they're knock-offs, etc).

DOOK · 08-31-2008, 05:40 PM

about the only nismo seats that MAY exist would be in nismo performance package options through a dealership...

"Nismo" parts for S13s are knockoffs that often weren't even made for our cars. You shouldn't expect quality or performance out of them.

Thanks man, I'll let you know.

blu808 · 08-31-2008, 09:22 PM

Yea. Those are just some Chinese knockoffs.

projectRDM · 09-01-2008, 12:22 AM

NISMO does make a seat, only sold in Japan, and it's just a slightly beefier version of the stock BNR34 seat. And they retail each for more than any used BNR set you'll ever find.

Anything else is shit.

fromxtor · 09-01-2008, 02:36 AM

^^Yea same thing with every set of "nismo" harnesses on ebay also.

/thread.

OP: If you want seats like that, buy r32 seats or buy r34 seats and retrofit the back portion onto the r32 bottom.

undesiredshoe · 09-01-2008, 02:48 AM

Dont buy cheap seats. Though you think its just a seat, imagine the back of the seat breaking and you falling backwards while drag racing, drifting, etc. Keep the stock seats or get decent ones.

21Nemesis · 09-01-2008, 11:12 AM

Get urself a pair of S15 seats and be thoroughly impressed. I've got one on my passenger side and everyone that rides in it loves it. They say it holds really well. Especially, when I take turns at 80mph!

sub9lulu · 09-01-2008, 03:00 PM

worangejuice · 09-02-2008, 08:19 AM

ebay sucks with all its "nismo","mugen","bride", shit. that stuff is out of control. I remember I drove by this douchebag in long beach, (and i make it a strong point, cause I'm always cool with fellow s chassis owners), this guy was like 'mine's better' and he had a set of these "nismo" seats in his s14. Like wtf.....douchebag. "nismo" seats = Instant loss in my opinion.

FRoSt415 · 09-08-2008, 10:55 AM
