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

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.

Re: Need source for replacement drivers seat.
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.

Re: Need source for replacement drivers seat.
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!!!
