Like these? PAIR RED/BLACK RACING SPORT BUCKET SEATS+DUAL SLIDERS NISSAN DRIVER+PASSENGER | eBay

No idea if juke seats fit the versa, they should since it's the same platform...but not 100% sure.

What about Clazzio seat covers?

Can your stock seat adjust up / down?

I may have to just get all the measurements and figure it out myself, if i do find nicer seats that fit without modification, I will post them here.

was just hoping someone may have already done it.

I dont think anyone has replaced the seats yet here.
I put Clazzio covers on mine. Love the look and feel of them.

Ebay seats totally unsafe, their construction is questionable and prolly wouldn't support you in a crash. Safety > Style.

Hey I wonder if you might be able to reccomend a more comfortable seat. I know you take long drives. my 1-2 hour trips daily make my seats feel like they are the devil. Is there a seat out there with more cushion/back support? I'm running stock 08 Versa S seats right now. Another question if you get the chance to look where your back seat seatbelt feeds to, you'll notice a slot in the top of the rear middle seats, what is that plastic gaurd called I need a new one they look like they just pop right in. Do car seats passenger and driver come with all the mechanical do hickys for the slider underneath because part of my passenger one seems a bit broken as well :/ it doesnt effect anything I just know it looks broken

these have been like this since purchase

Ya my seat goes up or down (from the ground). And it also slides forward & back, and the backrest can be tilted back or forward.

Now is it the seat itself that allows itself to be raised? Or is it the car that gives the seat the option? Is that somthing you get with certain seats?
If my seat were any higher I would have to tilt my head to drive her. I in cline her at about a \_ with passengers but with out its more reclined:spiral:

The seat has the option to go up / down. I keep it at the lowest setting possible.

we're working on getting seat mounts fabbed up by wedge engineering. Once they are made, any aftermarket seat should be fair game. Personally, I want some of these:

They're from an ACR SRT-4 Neon. Extremely comfortable from what I've heard.
I plan on going with either these or WRX seats. Goes with my frankencar theme and they're a lot cheaper and easier to get a hold of than corbeaus or recaros. Also, OEM seats are generally pretty safe.

I've got Megan Racing seats in my Honda and i love them. I have had them for probably 5 years and they now are fading. However, the Honda has been driven daily and has never been in a garage so it has seen quite a bit of use and sun. No tears in the seats and they are very comfortable even on long 4 hour drives or 8 hours to Import Alliance. I highly recommend! I also had Weapon R seat brackets that were made to order and fit perfect.

There is a handle you push down and a spin dial to move the seat back support. It also has a "quick release" bar at the bottom on the back that allows the verticle part of the seat to go forward in case you have a convertible or are hauling something big in the back.

(Not my car but same seats)

Aftermarket seat installation advice... please be helpful and positive

I known this is grave robbing an old thread but I couldn't find any others on topic. I'm installing the recaros later today. Wish me luck and if anyone knows about any pitfalls with airbag sensors or anything else, please let me know. I found no other walk throughs on replacing versa seats with aftermarket, only upgrades to sl seats. I will get better pics as well, I only snapped a pic while I was cleaning the Alcantara leather (fake suede, lol). I will try to capture any fabrication that I might run into welding wise or other. Thanks.

Yes, iLuv is correct, an SL option for what they call "height-adjustable" driver's seat. Basically, in the SL it has a 6-way drivers seat adjustment capability: bar underneath front of (the two front) seats for forward/backward, pull lever on driver right side/passenger left side (at where bottom and back of seat meets) for back reclining/upwards, and another lever on the driver's seat (only)on the right side again for height-adjustment. It's like a pump-type lever, pull up for a slight rise in height, push down for a slight decrease in height, and repeat until either/or to find right height or hit limits. This is only for the driver's seat and I believe only on SL's, as a standard option for them.
