Passenger Seat On Drivers Rails?

[GoHard]

Yo yo,

Debating with myself where to post this, here or fabrication and used search but no luck so don't hate on.

Because like... EVERY SINGLE drivers seat I have come across in a R33 is pretty bad around the wing area. Most not quite as bad as mine (steel bar sticking out ) I was looking at getting a second hand seat with not quite as much damage and then I got thinking... then looking... then still thinking...

I busted out the torch and got in a nice uncomfortable upside down position and from what I can make out... Both passenger and driver seats can be totally removed from rails, and these bolts appear to be in the same place on drivers and passenger seats. This so? Thats one issue, next is the obvious reason of the lever being on the wrong side, but will the mechanism seperate from the seat when the bolts are removed?

Thanks guys, If this worked it would be a good way of getting a nice cheap wear free drivers seat

Im pretty sure the rails dont come off.

Im 100% sure that the lever wont swap over

Hmm... I guess that explains why I have never heard of this been done.

Thanks for the reply

I've got the same problem, metal poking out from the drivers seat bolster which juts into my hips making the ride quite uncomfortable over distance.

Was wondering is repairing the bolster at an auto trimmer would be pretty easy?

Yeah they can do it. Cant get the original material but can get some thing pretty close

What about just swapping the top half of the seat, where it pivots with the base?

[dasic1]

nope the frames are different. It might be possible to swap the cover and foam over, just not 100% sure how the cover is at the bottom on the sides
