You just need brackets. Don't know if they make any for the max so you'll need somecustom made. As far as your seat being electronically adjustable, that really has nothing to do with it since you'll lose that as soon as you get the racing seats. I mean every car has elec. adjustable seats these days, standard or option.

corbeau is the only company that makes seats and the brackets/railing for the maxima. Go to their site and order yourself a catalog

There is a company out in cali that makes custom brackets for almost all racing seats. I forgot the name. It's something metal works.

for 4th gen

14mm socket driver in the 4th all the bolts go back where the stock seat was installed. with the corbeau stuff, comes with the tool you need to install the bracket and seat together. then line it up
