I got seats today. Now I just need to go to an upholstery shop to have the panels and rear done to match

 

Nice. What models are they?

Corbearu are based just down the road from me. Might get a leather set :-)

 

These are the TRS (?) and suede.

 

Nice seats! Just don't get in the car with dirty pants! or let kids or pets in there! What's the material made out of? Are they fully adjustable? You think they'll be comfy on long trips?

BTW, nice interior. I like the shifter a lot. Where did you get it? Also, are you going to upgrade to the taller armrest from the later model 3rd gens? Redline Goods could do a nice custom color matched cover for it if so.

 

They look cool!! I wonder how they would work for bigger guys though?? haha I think I'll stick with my stockers.

I think that shift handle is the Levoc one (or looks like it anyway) One of the coolest looking ones for a automatic the make IMO.

 

Nice! I've been drueling over getting Corbeau seats and brackets in my 4th gen... And to the post about width, most corbeau seats of maxed out for 36-38inch waists, unless ordered larger...

 

The material is suede, and yeah don't want to get in with dirty pants. I figured suede would be as tough as leather, and wear well, without the problem of heat in the summer.

I think they say they max out at 40 inch waists. You can order larger. They are fully reclining, but no height adjustment. They feel like they sit a tad taller than stockers. It will take a while to get used to them. Feel waaay more supportive and firm. I think when I get everything set just the way I like it, they will be more comfy. No more knee against door driving. Now it is just different. After 6 years the stocks just felt like that old worn out T-shirt we all have and women never understand.

Now I am going to get the rear seat and door panels upholstered to match. No desire for the taller arm rest.

The shifter I got from Custom Maxima about 5 years ago. That is very comfy. It fits the hand so well.

I also got these beauties for the frontier. I wish someone made these for our engines.

 

Looking sharp, Jon!

 

Hey bro, how's Texas been treating you?

 

It's not bad, been out of town a lot. Not a whole lot to report, just drinking beers with my buddies and working on my cars whenever I get a spare moment. I hope all is well with you up north...

 

Just out of curiosity, when you get racing seats im aware that they come with universal sliders but what do you do about brackets ? can you order them ? is it custom ?? and how much does it cost aside from the price of the seats ?

 

I had to go custom, the guy i bought the seats from said he couldnt see anything for 3rd gens, and said just bring him the part numbers. I got him the numbers, and he said Sparco has no more 3rd gen brackets and he doubts they will again.

I just went to a general import tuning place here, they said i would need manual brackets so i found some at the junkyard. They were able to weld them up properly, it was $750 for Sparco sliders and the whole welding business, he said he actually spent a extra 5 or so hours welding but he didnt charge me for it

So all in all my total Sparco setup was about $1750, $750 with tax for 2 seats, $750 for the brackets, $150 for drivers side harness, $100 for passenger side. They welded the brackets extremely well though, but if Sparco just had the brackets i could have saved a few hundred but what can you do

 

Corbeau has brackets for the 3rd gen.

 

Yup. I bought brackets for my Corbeaus when I ordered them, and everything just bolted right together. no muss, no fuss. 1 hr install.

I like the looks of those seats.

For those of you asking about larger folks, I bought my Carerra/CR1s when I had about 34-36" waist. I'm up to 40" (yeah, I'm a fatass.... sucks travelling all the time and never eating healthy!), and Iv'e pretty much worn the seat to fit. whenever I set in the passenger seat, it is NOT comfortable. hop into the driver's seat and it fits like a glove since I've mashed the foam into/out of place.


I also have no problems hopping in the car and driving 8+ hours with those seats. very comfy and supportive.

 

Nice seats Jon, all you need know is the right type of transmission

 

The real question is: when is the last time you DID hop in it and drive it for 8+ hours?

 

a year ago before I bought my G35.

 

those seats are hott!

 

I know that...It was a rhetorical question.

 

If anyone want to see the exact seats in a different car, here is what it look like in an A4, i like the TRS in my 92SE so much that i brought another pair for my other car, both of them use factory Corbeau brackets.

 

How old are your seats (in both cars), and how are the thigh bolsters holding up to wear and foam getting soft from getting in and out of the car?
the foam on the outside of my drivers seat is pretty soft, and the cloth on mine is worn on the sides where I slide in and out of the car. I figure the leather will hold up better, but wasn't sure about the foam on those seats since they seem to stick up more than on my Carerras.

 

You have a Carerra? Nice.....Any pics?
Anyway, i brought my first pair to put in the Maxima 5 years or so ago, has about 40-50k miles on them, other than some wear on the cloth, the foam stay pretty firm.
