install questions about my silvia seat

i have no idea to mount the seat... the seat has rails that make it go front to back but there is no place to bolt it on. im at the point were alot of zip ties is looking good

singlecamslam · 08-07-2008, 11:40 PM

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.

worangejuice · 08-07-2008, 11:40 PM

there are 4 bolts, I'm guessing you don't have the brackets? pictures will help you

Fonix36 · 08-08-2008, 07:12 AM

ill put picks of it all tonight

jskateborders · 08-08-2008, 11:06 AM

what kind of Silvia seat? s13, s14, s15? Or is it some seat that just says silvia on it?

Fonix36 · 08-12-2008, 11:56 PM

okay updated

singlecamslam · 08-13-2008, 12:08 AM

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

eek · 08-13-2008, 03:26 AM

Or use the existing brackets off your old stock seats.

lol messagelength

ZIPTIED seats! DO IT.

EDacIouSX · 08-13-2008, 11:00 PM

just swap oem railes for oem rails. get some s13 rails and slap those on. all s13/14/15 actually i dont know if the rails will work since it bolts ot the seat...

Fonix36 · 08-15-2008, 12:57 AM

the thing is i dont want it to sit high as fuck is there any other alternatives

SlideWell · 08-15-2008, 04:46 AM

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.

TUnity2 · 08-15-2008, 11:56 AM

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

Fonix36 · 08-16-2008, 02:55 PM

this blows big time

ericcastro · 08-16-2008, 03:20 PM

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.

tanks13 · 08-17-2008, 09:21 PM

hahahahah fagget see why i got rid of it for those racing hart rims even that one rim is fucked i told you well figure something out hahahaha 20 bucks it was 25 and you still owe me 10

im 6'1'' and i already can see everything with stock seats so no the height is a big problem

DreamN · 08-20-2008, 05:01 AM

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.

*downshift_sideways* · 08-20-2008, 05:05 AM

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

and ill even add a tire pump in case i run flat

21Nemesis · 09-01-2008, 11:26 AM

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.
