high winder Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 my understanding is that if i use the slider mounts and floor brackets MR2 seats will work along with some others. i've found a set of porsche seats and i am assuming they will work as well. my question is comfort.. are the MR2 seats comfortable or should i look at different seats.

flatcat19 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 That depends on how far you are. The later MR2 seats are really nice. Quote Link to comment
high winder Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 do you mean how fat i am instead of how far. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I don't know about fitment,, as i am to lazy to even take a picture of my ole B210 anymore let alone install nice seats... :hmm: BUT i'm on what you might call plump side of healthy and i had Mr2 seats in my 510 ( and wife had 2 daily driver Mr2s in past ) and we took 5-6 hour trips no problem . Try to find the ones with more adjustments rather than base model seats, if you can Quote Link to comment
Cosmonaut Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 If you own a 74 or 5, your "B" will be devoid of the catalytic Bump, and most seats will mount easily... BUT...if you own a "B" from 76-78, beware, very few seats will work 1 Quote Link to comment

high winder Posted January 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 I've got the mount thing figured out, installed an after market bucket (eBay special) last night and everything is great other than my head rubs on the headliner. Just having trouble sourcing a pair of lower seats like your Porsche ones. Maybe I'll try to find some mr2 seats, lots of knock offs on eBay but I'm afraid they will sit to high as well.

thatdirtykid Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 I will be mounting some 89 Prelude Si seats in my B soon. The driver seat is fully adjustable including bolsters. They are in near perfect shape. Thank you mildy wrecked but beautiful Si in the pick n pull. Quote Link to comment
high winder Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 What yr B? Let me know how they fit Quote Link to comment
high winder Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Found a sweet set of Racaros today for $150 and they fit If I can I'll get some pics up of the build Quote Link to comment
thatdirtykid Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 1975, and yes they will fit, but as far as my datsun project goes right now seats are a lower priority so they are not installed yet. Quote Link to comment
Cosmonaut Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Good for you that dirty kid....1975 = no cat bump :-) NOTE to OP, these will not fit in a 76 - 78 "B". Not trying to be a problem, just don't want to see you waste your money and be frustrated as hell. Quote Link to comment
high winder Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 no worries i saw that. after much trial and error i found a pair of Recaros at the wrecking yard that fit great :thumbup: just need to build a mount for the passengers side now. i got into a wreck with my "B" in December so with the insurance money i'm doing some much needed upgrades along with some body, paint and new front end parts. you folks have certainly been a well of info.. Thank you Quote Link to comment

Dguy210 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 how much you want for the driver side? :) Lol, not for sale. The seat actually split at the stitching on the driver's side about two years after this pic. But I only paid 17$ for the seats to so complaints. Quote Link to comment
B2Fresh Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Just installed these Corvette seats in my 78 B-210 Hatchback. Used the stock tracks with very little mods to make them work.. 2 Quote Link to comment

But I only paid 17$ for the seats to so complaints. Oh damn, that's a steal. I'm trying tofind a driver seat for mine. My passenger is in mint condition. I really want a bucket seat where I can have my 4 point harness. Guess for now if I can find a good deal on some seats that fit onto the factory seat brackets would be nice Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 i dont have a pic of the brackets i made but i did use the stock sliders these are out of an mg Quote Link to comment
Cosmonaut Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Just installed these Corvette seats in my 78 B-210 Hatchback. Used the stock tracks with very little mods to make them work.. Did you have to mod the floor pan or seat rails to install those? Any pics of the "very little mods"? They look great! Quote Link to comment
B2Fresh Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 No floor pan mods what so ever and I'm using the stock seat rails. I only modified the seat itself by redrilling new mounting holes and also trimmed where the seat adjustment pull bar is located. Since the B210 floor is not flat and the floor on the transmission side higher than Door side, I hade to raise the door side of the seat about 1-1/2" with spacers... I will post some pictures to give you a better idea of what I did to make the seats work.. Thanks and they fit like a glove.. Quote Link to comment
datb210sun Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Want to bring this topic back up, since I'm currently trying to get my b210 back up. Definitely, need new driver seat since it's all torn up. Anyone, knows what all kind of seats fit in the b210's? I see mr2's fit, just our junk yard sucks. Thanks in advance. Btw, found these seat brackets, but these seats going to be expensive. https://corbeau.com/nissan-datsun-b-210-75-79-seat-brackets.html Quote Link to comment
