im 6' 200. athletic build, but i guess i have a large rump/hip area than most. anyways on the cheap-o nismo seats i can feel the plastic piece around the adjustment knobs on the left.

what aftermarket seats (possibly Bride) would fit?

Probably a lot of them, many seats stretch a little as you sit in them more.
If you want to get a general idea, call Paul at Baker Tuning, they keep a few in stock you can test sit in.

why would you lose your airbags

He's referring to the airbags in the stock seats which you would lose if you got an aftermarket seat

If you fit in the Z with stock seats you can definitely find the right seats for yourself.

If you're looking at bucket seats there are the type-L for some seats that are made for bigger people

reclinable though, I'd suggest the cuga or vorga, check out the bride Japan site they have seat dimenstions:

That doesn't seem that bad to fit... of course i'm 5'9 or thereabouts and 168 lbs ... so easy to say I suppose.

yep! Like I said though... the weight savings is tempting... but there are other things I could do.. and I feel my standard Z seats are extremely comfortable as well.

if comfort what you're going for, its hard to find aftermarket seats better than oem seats haha

personally the only reason I'd get seats would be to replace old one or if I wanted the better grip so I don't slide around at the track... the visual asthetics is just a plus :yum: haha a big plus

fixed

:icon18:

You guys are brutal. :)

ouch! :(

didnt think 6' and 200 lbs was considered a fattass, but oh well!

ok what seats fit a fat *** then?

actually knowing what size jeans you are helps the best, most Bride bucket seats are for like 30-34 range, reclinable buckets I'd put at about 34-36, and reclinable are about 34-38, thats just an estimate some seats have large or small variations that go up or down a size or two.

i wear a 34 in jeans but my *** seems to wear out the bottom bolsters on the fcatory seats. maybe im just a rough sitter! :P

^... i think you should go with seats that has low side bolsters, like the vorgas!
