GQ Seat upgrade

[cnpatsy]

In need of new seats in GQ sence i snapped a mount out bush the week.
Was looking into doing an upgrade to either some ford seats or some holden seats for abit more comfort. Whats peoples thoughts? And what have people done?

Ow bugga. Unfortunately most people use the mounts and Ford bases.
So you might need to grab a set of seat runners.

Out of curiosities.. Where did it brake?

I've measured some Ford Territory seats, seem like a good fit, hope to give it a go in the near future.

Interesting to find out how you snapped the mount?

Yeah you should use the Nissan runners so everything lines up properly, safer and semi legal if you are going to put different seats in. Some commodore seats line up the bolt holes perfect for the runners so no modification needed at all but have a read below of my DIY on it.

Seems there are a few different hole patterns from Holden if you head down that path. Other people have done the Monzas or even XR6 seats which dont rub against the pillar restricting the seat belt retraction, etc. I love my VZ seats and they are very comfy but does restrict the seat belt retraction. It doesnt bother as I just throw the seat belt back into the seat when getting out of the car.

I used VX seats out of a commy ute and they bolted straight up to the Nissan rails. Havent heard of fraud seats being used though. My original Nissan seats snapped the leg at the base of the seat

I'm 6'3" with giraffe legs and the commo seats are far better than nissan.

I to did the commodore conversion and it is a great improvement over stock but some are saying the XR6 seats are even better??? have not seen one fitted yet myself.
