R33 Gtr Seat Repair

[GTRNUR]

Hi all,

A mate has busted the drivers seat in his R33 GTR. He is a 120KG muscly fijian lad and the seat just couldnt cope trying to hold him in when cornering I guess. The seat back has stress fractured and snapped center console side just above where the pivot is.

There seems to be a shortage of good condition R33 drivers seats around, but Ive tracked down a few passenger side ones. Has anyone ever tried swapping the backs over on seats to repair them? If it fits it might be an option to repair his seat using parts from a passenger seat rather than buying a pair of after market ones.

To be frank I think its much more likely that the car (or at least that seat) has been in a big accident previously, a big bloke isn't going to break it alone.

I am 99% sure the seats are the same other than the rails underneath, so it must be possible to cut and weld the correct ones across. Or just find a drivers seat as it may still be cheaper due to the cost of proper fabrication. Or pick up some aftermarket driver's seat
