CRX Seats in an S130[edit]
Are your seats worn out, Torn, sagging? Here we replace the stock 280ZX seats with a set of seats from a second gen CRX.
Installation[edit]
The seats are from a 1991 Honda CRX Si.
The car is a 1982 280ZX 2+2.
The install will be the same on 2-seater Z's as on the 2+2.
I used the ZX seat rails, which hold the seat belt. This solves the problem of devising a custom mounting system had I chosen to use other seat rails.
Remove the seats (14mm bolts) and remove the rails from the bottom of the 280ZX seats. Remove and discard the wire going between the two locks on the sliders.
The outside rails that do not have the seatbelt or slider adjuster are the first to work on. Drill out the two rivets holding the “lock” plate down and discard the plate. This allows the outside rails to slide without locking. The inside rail lock will be sufficient and avoids clearance issues with both locks.
Drill a new hole in the front (or rear) of the rail that has 12" centers.
Item 1: New hole drilled 12 inches from the rear mounting hole (Datsun spacing is 12.5 inches).
Item 2: Remove the wire that connects here and cut off the tab that sticks up, as it will cause clearance problems under the seat.
1-inch copper spacer, cut in half. Install under the mounting bolt on the front of both seats.
1/2-inch spacer under front bolts, installed on both sides of the front rail. Two washers under the rear bolt on all rails (about 1/8-inch spacing).
Arrows point to areas that needed a little hammer work for additional adjuster arm clearance.
The final product: CRX seats installed in a 280ZX.
