Nissan 370Z Forum  

Lets see your aftermarket seats!

Crap the store doesn't have the bracket in stock. Will i need to drill into the sparco base bracket? Getting this instead.

sparco seat, sparco bracket, i doubt it. but drilling holes isnt a big deal. just make sure you buy nice bolts if they dont come with any. class 10.9 (in metric) at a minimum!

ended up with a sparco bracket and sliders. used a "prototype" spacers in the front of the seats that a dude from sparco gave me. ride height is nice. seems just like stock.

Also amazing looking seats... Are these the Nismo Juke seats that were floating around in the FS section recently?

Yes, Takata commissions Cobra to make their seats. You can get the Misano slightly cheaper. The one above is the Anniversary edition.

thanks. it's not as comfortable as the touring seat and lumbar could be better, but it's not uncomfortable. i'm probably going to buy the lumbar insert sparco sells.

none. the stock juke frame has height adjustability (and i even epoxy'd the driver side height adjusting lever, but its there for show), but these seats are mounted just like any other aftermarket seat. wedge engineering bracket, double locking sliders.



you can add washers where the seat mounts to the bracket to put the seat up higher, but without washers the seat sits about an inch taller than stock. im only 5'9 so it doesnt bother me at all.
