R34 Front Seat Rails - Same As Other Skylines Or Nissans?

[twr7cx]

Can anyone tell me if the front seat rails in an R34 Skyline are the same as used in previous Skylines or perhaps even other Nissans (i.e. 300ZX)?

I'm pretty sure they are all slightly different. Why do you ask? 9 mins after you sign up . Welcome to Skylines Australia mate.

Yeah, the question was the reason I joined.

Reason I ask is because the R34 front seats and seat rails are a very easy fit into some older Falcons (exact same width, just cut and weld the end mounts) - looking for a replacment set of seats for the front of my supercharged EF XR6 - the Skyline seats would be cheap to buy, sporty type seat while still matching the factory interior somewhat, and they're thinner and lower than the factory Falcon seats meaning more interior space.

It would be easier to find a pair with the rails if the older Skylines and other Nissans etc. were the same as they'd be more options.

Yeh, I though so . Nah, I'm pretty sure they are all slightly different, but can be modified slightly to fit. And while your here, why not convert to the dark side of Jap Imports?

I'd have a Skyline in a second if they came in wagons, could tow my boat, fit 5 people (adults) in it (comfortably for a 200km trip) and a bootful of what nots. There's no doubting it that they're good cars, good bang for buck. But the Falcon just has the practicality at the moment.

Stagea... google it

Bride seat rails are compatible between r32/r33, i believe the r34 is different though.

Thats exactly what I was thinking Yo-Yo!! Although Howie is the only one actually answering the questions.

Although it claims the R34 rails are 100% compatible, i have noticed that bride list the r34 rails with a different part number so i wouldn't count on it.

Cheers for that Howie. Even if there is some difference, that kind of indicates that R32/3/4 are all very similiair, which is fine since I had to do some choping and welding on the rails already to fit them into the Falcoon.

I guess my next question is what is the differences like between the front seats of the R32/3/4? I.e. in styling and comfort? Is there variences between the different models to (i.e. GTR and GTS?)? Just wondering if there's 1 in particular that I should look for. The actual patern and material is of no concern to me as I've got to recover them to match the back seats anyhow.

That site also indicates that Silvia seats are also very similiar in the seat rails. Any idea what these are like compared to the Skyline seats?

Thanks for the info so far guys.

P.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Stagea - doesn't look bad. I bet they're a lot harder to find than my Coon and prolly a lot dearer too!

Slightly, however you get money back for the Stag! And I've worked on many, many, many, many falcons, and my skyline. Skylines don't piss oil

Personally I've sat in an R33, R34 and S13. I'd say the R34 is the most comfortable.

These are out of an R32 GTR:

No good to me as I specifically want removable headrests - hence why I'm looking at factory seats as it's hard to find aftermarket sports seats with removable headrests.

They look good - nice big side peices.

R32 seats are a might small and uncomfortable, at least compared to the r33 seats that I replaced them with. I'm not huge either, just average size.
