Hi lads,
Went for a trip out bush over the weekend and my driver seat collapsed while going downhill. The steel plate securing the seat to the rail snapped. While I'm a bigger bloke I would have expected the seat to hold me just fine... Has anyone seen this happen before? I know the seats have had their issues but didn't think they just broke this like one did. Also any idea whether I could fix this myself or do I look at replaceing it?

Time for some XR6 Falcon seats:)
My GUIV drivers seat has done the exact same thing. I am able to re-seat the break so i can use the seat but need to remove it and i was going to weld it back to be honest.
Would love some XR6 Falcon seats Mudnut but haven't found any online under $500 for the pair. Would I reuse the rails on the factory GUIV seats for that swap?
Mudrunner do you reckon this is a safety defect that Nissan should be liable to pay? Not too keen on welding but might be the best option for the hip pocket
What's your location mate?

I have also wondered if they are a straight bolt in on the factory mounts or how much cutting and shutting is involved, as they are a decent seat and cheaper and more comfy than the stratos options.
