I am interested in putting some 97 or 98 Q45 front seats in my Max. The thing is I am not very confident they will fit? Whats your take on this? Maybe, never, yes? My front seat on my max is not very comfortable because the damn up down motor broke so the seat is really flat and hit hurts my back. If you guys think they might fit I located a 98 front seat for $50! I think it's worth a try even if I have to mickey mouse it in . Feedback whould be great! Thanks

I think they would be too big. But you could try some nice honda prelude seats. Dave B has already done this.

Thanks for the reply. I really want something BIG and comfortable. I will call the junk yard up and try to get some measurements.

The bolts on 4th gen seats are 18" x 18", work within those dimensions and you should be okay.

Everyone knows maxima seats suc @ss.. Q45 seats are a little nicer but still they don't give that much more support because the Q45 is a highway cruiser not a sports car..

you need spearco

Here are black leather 96 Prelude seats in my 96 SE. The stock Prelude rails were left in place. The fab shop grafted on "extensions" to the seats so that they bolt in the stock location. As far as I'm concerned, nearly any seat will fit in any car. It just takes a little fab work. The shop charged me $140 for install. All you have to do is swap out the old seat belt latch so that it works. Make sure to get leather because they are much easier to match. I plan on getting my rear bench done in leather very shortly. Sporty seats I would consider:

-late model 240SX
-300ZX
-Corvette
