I've got two of these bucket seats in my SX (full black). the previous owner bought them and fitted it in, unfortunately fitting them was a problem and they were ultimately bolted straight to the chassis, which means I can only recline with them. also theyre quite wide so my passenger seat rubs against my pillar, but they are comfortable and provide support for high speed cornering.
Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?

Re: Bucket seats
200sx have back seats wow thought that was just for show or extra space for tools.....recover the seats save yourself the trouble

Re: Bucket seats
Just enough space in the back for a cooler box... I would say recover the originals
Re: Bucket seats
I am totally against any chinese made seat that is so freely available here. Including ripp off Bride, Recaro, Cobra, Sparco etc.seats.
I would rather spend the money on a FIA approved race seat or at least , on the real deal. Genuine Brides are R15000.00 a pop, Recaro`s are about R8900.00 each. This excludes rails for the car.
Rails or runners for my car are R3800 .00 each !
Ripp off Brides and Recaros are sold here and abroad for about R5000.00 to R8000.00 each, depending where they come from.
They are distinguished from the real deal quite easily though.
My life is worth much more to me that a cheap inferior chinese ripp off .
If you cannot afford the real deal, recover the originals and be safe in the knowledge that in an accident you will have a very safe seat .
