Seat help!
Hey guys.
Everywhere I look, people are saying that "prelude seats fit in easy" but nowhere does it give details or even a photo of how people mounted them in. Now, I have a few ideas that I could go with but I just want to see how other blokes did it. Any screw ups, advice, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Seat help!
I don't recall anyone on here ever mentioning fitting prelude seats in a patrol. So finding info or help maybe a bit of an issue.
All the seat conversions on here seem to be about commonhore seats.
So have you got the prelude seats and from what model/year?
To tap, or not to tap: Well it's obviously tap because this is the signature hey!!!!!! Duh

Really? Ive seen a bunch of people on a few different pages saying that they have done the swap, but nobody gives any details.
Not sure what year mate. I have them.
The inner rail (closest to centre console) fits almost perfectly. The outer rail, not so much. I'm trying to figure a way of overcoming the height difference. The troll seats have the spacer plate, but that doesn't really cross over to the prelude sets that well.

You could just re-upholster your original seat, like I have through Alphaline in Melbourne. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1359782581.018531.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1359782597.540394.jpg

Wouldn't you try to source buckets from a nissan first , Pulsar etc.
2ndly I wouldn't have side bolsters too high {rally style} as you'll
never get in or out, plus they are a litteral pain in the butt
@ MEGO does anyone sell pre sewn skins for patrol seats.
I've found them in the states for my B,I , L 's Corvette
@ Dogga I lifted my drivers seat 40mm makes a big difference over the bonnet
I have Strato 3000 with lumbar pump driver seat. Use small piece of cut rubber
to isolate or you'll feel every bump , trust me. 16 back Ops
puts me in the expert field for whats comfy and whats not

I picked these seats up cheap as chips and loved them as soon as I sat my barge arse down in them. I figured that where there is a will, there is always a way. Shouldn't be too difficult with a bit of drilling and creative fabrication.

Definitely will mate. I'm taking photos left, right and centre with everything I so on this baby. Anything you do on a patrol has already been done before. The hardest part is finding people willing to share the wisdom.
