Hi guys,

I am thinking of selling my original 280Z seats that are in very good condition and getting a pair of classic style bucket seats. Because I love the way it looks and also to give me extra support in the corners.

Right now I have these preferences:

• The style I like (see pictures).
• Must have an headrest for safety
• Budget of 200-400 dollar (euro) per seat
• From a reputable brand

It seems there are a lot of brands with seats that I like: Corbeau, Sandtler, Cobra, OMP so my preferences are definitely realistic.

Has anyone done this who can give me some tips, tricks and pointers? Things I should consider. Issues I can expect.

Thank you!

Reinier

 

Hallo Reinier, jij hier?  hihihi...

Hello Reinier, you here?  😉 

In the 70's they used these König seats among others..(I've seen them on google pic's in rally 240z also in yellow black!)  Now at the moment i have a "scheel autostoel" in my 240z that gives me a lot of support for the corners and is also a much better seat than the original ones.

I you go for some other seats better not sell the old ones, there comes a time you want to sell your car and original seats make a more easy sale..

 

Maybe some day i put these in my 240z that could use some updating...

Hi Mart 🙂

Good to see you here and thanks for the info.

You might be right about keeping the original seats. I guess it all depends on how much I can get for them.

Did the Scheel seat fit easily in your 240Z? Or did you have to make modifications to make it fit?

Best,

Reinier

Haha.. no.. i had to make a small dent in the rear left wheel housing to have a good fit for me behind the wheel!  

It's no problem it will come out when i remove both seats when/if i install the König seats..  As they are red/black they would fit very nice in my red 240z.
