Vethraxx Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Both my seats in my B210 are shot. The springs ain't got no cushion and they never had lumbar support. Has anyone had any luck finding a straight across, bolt on replacement ? If not, has anyone replaced their seats and have pictures of what they had to jump through to get those seats in? If nothing else I may, when I have more money have my seats rebuilt with proper support. However, if I can get a different type, that would be awesome too. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I put thunderbird Turbo Coupe seats in mine. They had variable lumbar support. Tons of seats will fit as long as you keep the B210 stock seat rails. NOTE: 1977-1978 B210 floors are not flat on the passenger side. 1 Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 my 78 is not flat on the drivers side Quote Link to comment
BunnySlippers Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm looking into replacing the seats on my 78 B210 coupe. The drivers side floor reminds me of my Z, it has a big "catalytic converter hump" on the side of the transmission tunnel. Which hinders fitment of other seats. Will definitely be reusing the stock rails. But I need to find a lower sitting seat. And something that will actually keep me in place while driving. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 It is easy. Just watch the seat width. Most seats fit fine, but a lot of european seats and mid-size car seats are too big. Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 i put in 95 eclipse seats. cheap and easy, but you have to drill some holes. Quote Link to comment
Vethraxx Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Where did you have to drill? The cross member that is in the drawings, or in the seat itself? Quote Link to comment
Master-O-Turbonics Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 i put in 95 eclipse seats. cheap and easy, but you have to drill some holes. I have some of those but from a talon, with the lumbar support on the drivers seat. They were mounted in my 260Z but will be in the B210 in no time. Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Where did you have to drill? The cross member that is in the drawings, or in the seat itself? these seats are super easy to install. drill three holes per side, two on the rear floor board, and one hole about one inch away from the hole closet to the tunnel. on both seats, the front hole closest to the door panels will be your reference point and use the hole already there from the factory. doing it this way will put the seat dead center in line with the steering wheel. the other side installs the same. you will sit about an inch and half lower than the factory seat. if you opt to get these seats, i will shoot pics for you.

Vethraxx Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Yes I would like the pictures. So you drilled directly into the floor of the car? I think pictures would help :) Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I have a pair of seats for sale that would work GREAT! :D They look like early recaros. I know that they were made in 198? something, nice seats. PM me for more info. Quote Link to comment
Master-O-Turbonics Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Eclipse/Talon seats mounted in my 81 Datsun 210. Not recommended for anybody over 6' tall. I'm 6' and I have just enough clearance. The rear of the seat is mounted 1.5" or so from the floorboard, but can't really be mounted lower due to the odd shape of the floor. The 210 seat rails are not flat to each other, so I had to weld some little brackets to the stock floor rails to even up the stock Eclipse/ talon seats. I'll get some pics of the mounts Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 for tall people try aw11 mr2 seats Quote Link to comment
Dguy210 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Decided I would put this here, since I don't feel like starting a build thread Reused the B210 seat rails per ggzilla. Note: these seats came with nice flat rails, bolt holes 16in on center (wide), out of a '78 Porsche 924. I practiced on the passenger side, driver's side will go in next, ended up with more leg room in the front too. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 very cool. it must be nice to have an early b210 without the wacky floor. my one piece of advice to you is to start a build thread :P Quote Link to comment
Dguy210 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 very cool. it must be nice to have an early b210 without the wacky floor. my one piece of advice to you is to start a build thread :P Yeah I should, just being lazy, I take the pics, I just don't feel like putting it together. The flat floor is one of the few early B210 advantages, except it meant when I found nice reupholstered late B210 seats I turned them down because I didn't want to screw with them Under the seat was like opening a freaking tomb, that flat area just collects stuff. Found an old buck knife I lost like 10 years ago, and one of my deerskin shooting gloves I lost about 7 years ago. Now I'm wondering what I will find when I pull the driver's side Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 i replaced my seats recently with some out of a 210 and found an old ID of mine that i thought one of my ex girlfriends had stolen Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I put 210 (B310) seats in a B110. Basically the same size and shape, just had to notch the seats rails so they fit. Remember, the 3rd rule of Ratsun: never modify the car, only the seats. Quote Link to comment
jprimrose Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I had to replace part part of floor so i just cut part of the floor out and reshaped the rear part of the floor where a passengers feet go. Then I made brakets for the seats with 1.5 in square tubing. I used talon/elipse seats they are comfortable and work well. think I have some pictures on cardomain. Quote Link to comment

fatman Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Well i can say what the size of the bolt head is... 14mm but the pitch looks like a fine thread. I am putting 200sx seats in my b210 after i fix my rusty floor boards. To see if and how they fit i had to remove them yesterday. It was a PAIN :w00t: because of 55 cents was wedged in the pasenger side rail. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I haven't even looked at the B210 floor boards... Are they mounted funny like the B12 sentras? Quote Link to comment
agentwright007 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 This is a bad picture, but I used some honda crx seats in mine. I got em for 75 bucks and reused the rails like many of the other guys here have done. They work fine but I wish they were shorter. Quote Link to comment
agentwright007 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 or maybe the picture wont post....im new here Quote Link to comment
