Did mine a few months ago and it's a PITA!! have a pic in my Garage.

The seats usually end up too high. It's very hard to make brackets that get them low enough while still being able to slide froward and back.

To get the height right you practically need them on the floor.


Good luck!! You'll need it!!

Problem is std rails are side mount. Most aftermarket seats are bottom mount.

Therfore STD rails won't work unless you have access to CAD programming and some laser cutting etc.

The only way to mount seats properly in an SX is to get the super low rails from Japan...and they are R2500 a piece!

just get proper racing seats, measure where the seat best fits your leg length in relation to the pedals, and then bolt it to the floor.

Ya, nismo200sx is basically right...most race seats end up touching the roof if you use standard rails...just make sure on your clearances before you weld up the original rail and relise its a bugger up.... super low seatrails are the answer, but cost a bit... nagisa auto make...for the sx..both sides are different so universals dont work...plus the floor bracing gets in the way....

Let us know when your ship comes in nismo...for them bad ass sabelts...
