Default Seat Bases

You can get the bases from sparco right and left. the seats have adjustments and releases on both sides of the seat. Really isn't a right or left seat just different bases. Other Sparco models may be different.

Great job! Also glad to see you're doing well and back to modding the car. By the way did Sparco have the seat bases in or did you have to fabricate them? They only listed the 300ZX on their website before. Finally, it appears that the seat release for the passenger seat is on the inside of the seat. Did you order two drivers seats so that you could move the seat forward like you can on the regular seats (actually much better location than the back of the seat for stock)? That was really smart thinking on your part if you did!

BTW according to the website, it says the Milano seat weighs 38 lbs. Retail prices are listed there as well.

Default Compartment

I had an identical compartment to the one behind the passenger seat with the locking door installed were the Bose sub would have been installed.

The stock seats were cloth when I bought it, but I replaced the stock covers for katskins leather. Are you looking for the whole seat or just the leather?

They seem to sit just a bit higher maybe 3/4". I'll have to measure another Z to really know for sure.

I sat in these Sparcos at the PRI show here in Indianapolis last weekend ... I'll admit they were comfortable, but not $3k more comfortable (if any IMHO) than our seats (I have stock cloth seats) .... they do however LOOK AMAZING in the car ... and if that is what the goal was ... you have surely achieved it.

what color were the covers you had on the seats ... I may be interested in purchasing them ...

Well that sucks. I've been looking for some seats that are still adjustable (i need to be comfortable too) but also lowered the seat hight a bit. I'd love to have a set that was about 1" lower. Oh well, i guess i'll keep looking.

Those look great by the way.
