    Re: Need source for replacement drivers seat.

    I have a list of salvage yards I'm calling today. Auto shops and performance
    shops only sell the racing style seats. Not for comfort! I've had this used
    Nissan 96 pickup for 1 month now and the seatback is to low. Cuts right
    across shoulderblades. It didnt bother me until after a couple of weeks of
    60 mile daily commute. One of my questions is how difficult is it to adapt
    seats from another make to fit my nissan????

    Thanks

    Steve

    I'll bet Pathfinder seats would fit in it and be more comfortable.

    It depends upon your expertise, tools available, metal cutting and
    fabricating equipment, and hardware.
    Not all seats and seat mechanisms are the same between vehicle makes, and
    even between different models of the same makes. Bolts and bolt holes may
    be spaced differently, requiring drilling new holes, and/or constructing
    adapter plates, etc. I am not sure that the Pathfinder seats will bolt
    right in, but the PF is built on the PU truck chassis.

    I have a 97, 4x4, ext cab PU, and it's not a vehicle I like to take on long
    trips. I'm constantly changing both seat and seat back positions, my
    seating angle in the seat, and moving the loose cushion behind my lower
    back, every 50 or so miles.

    My '93 King Cab has high seat backs that are very comfortable for my
    6ft 3 inch frame (long waisted, not long legged). I purchased used
    and always assumed that they were stock original.
    You may want to watch for seats from slightly older vehicle that may
    be better suited to your body frame.

    Success!!
    Spent friday in a salvage yard found in one of the below links.
    In Shirly Mass.
    I installed a seat from a 95 pathfinder, leather, adjustable lumbar
    support lever and a lever that lets me angle the seat base back. Looks
    like it had a heated seat also. I'm wondering if I can just run a
    fused power line to the connection to have heated seat????

    Looks like Nissan has two anchor designs, one with 15" from bolt to
    bolt and another with 18", bolt to bolt.

    Found many seats that were similar to the original that was in my 96
    king cab PU. Problem was that my seat was not broken, it was
    uncomfortable so I needed something different!!! So I agonized over
    putting in a leather drivers seat. (also more money). Deciding factor
    was the additional adjustments available on the leather seat. I need
    comfort!!! Plus I'm sure it's a better built seat? more support? (260
    lb fat shit here!)

    Oh yeh, list price was $250 I got them down to $150

    I installed right in the parking lot. Now I drive and see if this is
    an improvement. I didnt notice a problem with the original seat for
    about a week.

    Thanks for the advice!!!
