Doo, if I would have looked at the picture I would have seen it. LOL Did they give you any price break?

heard this quite a lot. I almost bought a set for my old G35 until I read reviews.

Made me sad :(

It would be really hard to see why anyone would go for something outside of Recaro/Bride/Sparco, maybe Corbeau

The seat is pretty important for safety, much less aesthetic - why would u risk it?

if i ever ditch the nismo recaros it would be for . . . better Recaros. otherwise there's no point

EDIT:
Forgot about Buddy club, if they still exist. Had them in the S14, held up well for track days

it’s been long journey from my stock base Nissan 2017 370Z, red bride reclining seats ordered directly from Japan, waited over 6 month ..., but I enjoy every moment of modification process.

OptionZero 04-12-2018 03:29 PM

i think you should call up Speed Image USA and inquire about some Works Bell products

(DO NOT GET NRG)

They're local to you

I actually don't have much of a problem because I'm small (5'6 small frame), but I'm be sure to look into it if/when I want to get an after market steering wheel

Hey guys I have a question. I'm running buddy club rails with Sparco bucket on OEM seat belt. How is your seat belt mount?
I made a bracket to lower the seat belt mount so I can feed the belt in the seat hole instead of going over the seat.

After going through all 18 pages of this thread, I'm still kinda uncertain as to what seat bases will work best to mount a pair of Recaro Pole Positions in a low position. I'm not a big guy, 5'9", 31" waist, 160 lbs, but I do want to be able to use a helmet at the track. Has anyone have anything good to say about the Buddy Club base & sliders paired with Pole Positions? TIA!

I'm in the same boat.. I'm looking for something to work with Pole Positions as well. Already have Planted brackets, going to order some sliders from Z1 and give it a go next week. If the seating position isnt where I want it, I plan on reaching out to Wedge Engineering to see what solutions they may have.

I pulled trigger on the buddy club base/slider combo. I haven't installed them yet as I'm waiting for the seats, but I will be sure to update the forum when I install them.

Sharad909 03-24-2021 02:52 PM

I also have a buddy club slider, paired with Sparco sprint. It works great. Waist is 32 and its a nice tight fit.

Here's mine. They're Braum seats. I color matched the stitching & piping to the car. Same with the seat belt harnesses.

i tried searching but does anyone know if all recaro aftermarket seats (not the nismo factory one) fit over the stock V2 nismo seat rail and slider. some of them look almost identical to the nismo seats I have in the car. I am just wondering the fact that there is lack of information on fitment for recaro means most aftermarket recaro seats fits directly.

afaik only the upper seat back on the nismo is a real produced by recaro part. the lower seat is nissan. So I wouldn't expect full recaro seats to bolt in. also I'm sure it would depend on what recaro seat you're trying to install no?

edit: you can see here even the juke recaro don't fit

I sit uncomfortably lower than the oem stock setup.
Does anyone know if I can add risers of any sort to this new Braum and Planted setup, so I can sit higher?

You should be able to on the rear of the bracket. There's a diy on here that's specs out spacers and longer bolts to do it to the oem seats. When I had oem, I did that mod

shadow85 12-08-2022 12:37 PM

Ok kool. Gona check it out. Yea i was hoping to do the rear only, because I feel that the seats are angled backwards slightly for some reason.

I know this post is a bit old, but I've got the Buddy Club sliders with a side mounted Tillet B8 seat.

The brackets included don't provide the actual lowest or rear most position, so I had to fabricate brackets. Part of the issue is that the seat is too wide to fit between the sliders and adjustment bar at their widest position.

Looks good but that OE shifter is killing your interior vibe. I have a M45 auto knob that is plug and play for sale and if pared with the manual shift boots on ebay it really cleans up that dated auto shift knob and ugly bezel area.

Funny you say this, I have just been looking at ways to spice up the auto shifter in my Z. Can you show me photos or link to what exactly is available for me to do this?

Any reclineable seat is going to be pretty much impossible to get lower than stock due to the sliders on the bottom.

If you want to go lower, you need a bucket, mounted in fixed position. The angle of the seat will also substantially affect headroom.

I needed space to fit with a helmet. First tried a combo of Z1 side mounts and a Sparco EVO 2 US QRT. Got headroom but the seat back was angled back so much I had an uncomfortable time reaching either the pedals or steering wheels due to how far back it left me.

Swapped to a newer Sparco QRT EVO XL. It has a more vertical back, which solved the issue. Fit with helmet now, and everything else is in reach comfortably.

takeways:
If you want to go low, you will need to sacrifice with a fixed bucket or custom setup

test fit, test fit, test fit
