specialp3 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 I am looking to put a set of Recaro Specialist seats into my 240z (image below). I have checked around and it seems that you can use bride seat rails (image attached) to suit some Recaro's, Bride also have the rails specific for S30 z's. Does anybody know which bride rail will suit the Recaro Specialist seat ? I have contacted Ideal Seat who are the Recaro distributors for Oz and they tell me there is no Recaro rails that bolt into a S30. Any help would be good. Cheers, Aaron 22512_dcee33311ae9a21e4700144f98b74141bdeab074.pdf Quote

specialp3 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Posted April 29, 2011 Hey John, Mossy put me onto yahoo auctions that seem to have what I need. I have sent the supplier an email. Will order the pair now and let you know what happens. Might do a build thread to show how it works out. Cheers Quote
NZeder Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Aaron lets us know how you get on with the supplier from the yahoo auction (if it is the same supplier I am thinking of) as I have looked at their product and I am thinking of getting some for my Project Quote
mossy Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Mike this is the link i sent Aaron from yahoo auctions http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c271260730 , there looks to be a few options on there, hopefully they work Aaron Quote
NZeder Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Cheers Mossy, Here is a link to all currently listed S30/S31 seat rails on yahoo http://auctions.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?p=s30&auccat=2084008433&aq=-1&oq=&ei=UTF-8&slider=0&tab_ex=commerce as I have an after Aug 76 build 260z I need the 76-78 rails and the ones I am/have been looking at are like these Quote
specialp3 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 This is the link to the supplier I am using, there is 3 different types based on month and year. http://booth.search.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/strsearch?desc=s30&sb=desc&alocale=0jp&acc=jp&seller=tatsuya2_em I have ordered the rails for a 240z and will let you know if they work. Not sure if the image represents what I will be receiving, the main difference over standard appears to be the need for a bolt, washers and nuts. Cheers, Aaron Quote
specialp3 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Posted June 6, 2011 Rails arrived and a re spot on, will post a images of the installation shortly. Quote
NZeder Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Rails arrived and a re spot on, will post a images of the installation shortly. Excellent - I think I will drop the coin for some soon too so waiting to see the pics Quote
sco_aus Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Yeh, I'm going to get a set too I think, I need a decent drivers seat... OBX Daytonas are shit. Quote
specialp3 Posted June 13, 2011 Author Posted June 13, 2011 thought i would add a few photo's of what the rails look like, quality seems to be very good. not sure about the blue anodized slider knob, think i might make something that looks more original. checked they would fit in another 240, perfect fit. i thought i would add a photo of the seats i am putting in.

NZeder Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Look good I ordered some Bride FO rails for my seats tonight - here in NZ for aftermarket rails to be legal they need a double latching setup which the brides do have so this is why I dropped the extra for these. Quote
