R33 GTST seats don't look good in anything.  They go straight into an R32...but they're nearly as old so they seldom look much better.

S15 seats should be able to go in.  At worst, you might need to modify one of the rear mounts.  You do with R34 seats into R32, and S15&R34 are same era.  It's also not as if it is easy to just remove rails from one factory seat and fit them onto another factory seat.  The rails are not really a separate part on most of them.  That's for aftermarket seats.

There are not really any good budget upgrades available any more.  JJR's Bride/Recaro copies are about as cheap as it gets.  Or Sparco R100.   But these option are still >$1k once you have the seats and the rails.  And, without proper tilt/slide, they're not quite legal in a 2 door car either.

They will need one of the rear mounting points modified to bolt in as gtsboy mentioned. From memory some minor cutting/extending/welding has to be done.

R33 gtst will go straight in. I have a pair in quite good condition here for cheap if you decide to go that way.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
