the latest for me is to look at the S14 rear seat. i have had a guy measure them up for me and they look like they goods.. because i don't have my 1600/510 on the road, or know anyone with an S14 that will come by for a test fit, i'm yet to confirm the "goodness". but they come in around the wheel arches like the 1600 backrest does, and the width is pretty close to the 1600... anyone driving an S14 daily with a 1600 in their garage? |

no rear middle seat though, so you'll have to register it as a 4 seater I think? |

Anth, it has the little bulge in the middle, it could probably still be classed as a seat, with a seatbelt there... but if they said it had to be registered as a 4-seater, I don't see that being a big issue. how many times have you seen 4 or more squeezed across a back seat. doesn't happen often, and if you're not being an idiot, you get left alone by the federale. |

What would be the easiest seats to install, Skyline? S14? My seats are shocking. |

Yer I love sitting on milk create style seats. Its safe to say there is a reason why no one keeps the factory seats.. |

Yeah it would be good to know if the s14 rear seat fits into the 1600, cant wait for you to try it out RED510, please post when you find out |

I know this is an old thread but, I was wondering if you guys have any fresh suggestions on what I should replace my very very worn 1600 seats with. I am looking for a pair of comfortable front seats that will require minimum mods to fit. Any suggestions are appreciated. Cheers Mick |

Depends on your budget. The cheap replacement used to be 610 or 910 seats but they are getting harder to find thesedays. Try datsun seats first as 99% of every thing else normally isnt a straight bolt up. There is a few other threads with seat ideas on here somewhere too as i remember writing about some Daihatsu Charade seats i put in my old wagon quite a while back. Also check the members rides as their cars have some good ideas aswell... |

Hey Mick, I had early MX5 seats in mine which were pretty easy to fit and quite comfy.. In the end i retrimmed the back seat and trimmed some '06-ish WRX front seats to match. The WRX front seats are pretty easy to fit, but you end up sitting a little too high in them.. this is now on my list of things to fix -- modify the seat rails /mount to lower the seat whilst still retaining the adjustment.. |

Thanks for the input Fellas. Those wrx seats look good Tom, is the height problem mostly to do with the thickness of the seat cushion or is it more the mounting brackets? Is there much difference in the thickness of the cushion between the mx5 and wrx seats? My car will be running an auto and standard width tires so not a big performer but I really want it to be comfy for me and more so the mrs. Mick |

I don't have the mx5 seats anymore to compare, but i would say they'd be slightly less cushion than the wrx seats. They were pretty comfy. Might not be so good if you've got a bigger frame though.. I reckon i bought them from a wrecker for $135 for the pair. I just pulled the old seats out and had a look at the rail set up (sort of a bar across the front, the inside bolts to the tunnel and the outside bolts through the floor) and then went wandering around a wrecker till i found something that looked like it might fit.. Just go have a look.. |

If comfort is what you are after your a cruiser I can highly recommend second-generation 200B seats as being extremely comfortable. I can't comment on how well the fit or what they're like in a 1600 though but this car here has them: http://ozdat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=14536 |

I just chucked a pair of 200b seats on the scrap pile that where fitted to my 1600 wagon when I bought it. So they definitely fit, the mounts in mine where exceptionally dodgy though |
