GrimGreg Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Hit the one "nice" yard in town today and spent $70 on a few odds and ends: 2 seats out of a Maxima $34 (allready installed in my 88 Pathy) A pair of V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee springs $20 An interior top windsheild moulding $3 A map light from a 95 Pathy $5 Not charged for : Gas cap holder (orange thingy) Rear door ashtray Front turn signal lens 2 stock rocker foglight switches 5 relays Weather tight fuse holder handfull of fuses The Maxima seats weren't a direct swap, had to drill the floor and use new bolts but they fit nice and are much cushier than the flat Pathy buckets, not to mention they wrap around the sides a little bit and the drivers seat has extra adjustments on the seat bottom. I was pissed though, a couple guys took the tension rods before I could get them off of the 95, they were pulling them when I got there . Also, the rear brakes were a different set up than mine, so I couldn't get the strut I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj big shoe Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Could you maybe throw up a good pic of the seats? What year Maxima? I was considering swapping mine out for something else too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 (edited) It was a 90 Maxima I think, at least an early 90s model. I looked at a couple different ones today, can't remember that specific ones year though. I'll see if I can get a pic up here in a minute. :type: Edited February 5, 2005 by GrimGreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90seven Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Now, with some matching seat covers, those would look sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 Now, with some matching seat covers, those would look sweet. Actually going to change the rest of the interior to match those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90seven Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Well, that's probably a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Wow, that's a great score on the seats. Those would look perfect with my grey interior, and my driver's seat is starting to rip and die. Hmmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Good idea, dude. Maxie seats are SPORTY! *goes to find a good pair that haven't been thoroughly rained on* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Oops. I have a two door. Do they fold down for access to the rear seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 They don't fold forward very far. I'm planning on removing my back seats anyway on that truck so I wasn't worried about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inqydesu Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I wonder if you could use seats from a 240sx? They should flip far enough forward. Also a Z seat might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 Like I said these didn't fit exactly in, so anything you get as long as you can figure how to make it work will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Regarding the 240SX option - the seat rails and mounting method in my '87 pathy look verrrrrry similar to the ones in my 1990 240SX! And they do fold forward and slide with the side latch. The only down side: While they were extremely comfortable when new, I found the 240 seats to wear out too fast for my liking. At only 80K, the foam had collapsed/broken down enough to notice metal digging in, and the cloth was wearing pretty severely on the tips of the side bolsters.

GrimGreg Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 Went back today and got the part I needed for my rear brakes and also got a stock tire cover for the spare. (A few light switches appeared in my pocket also sssh ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
