That is true, I just Assumed someone wouldnt pay more than about 200 dollars for them without rails, OR really pay for them. I may pull the airbags out and put them in the GTR seats, and sell the leather covers to someone who has rips or tears in theirs. Maybe sell off the foam.

The one thing that is holding me back on these seats as of now is time. I have a 7 weeks old, and not a lot of time to work on them. Getting the rails switched will take around 3 hours I think maybe more.

Not yet. I'm finishing a set of dual ring tails, and an interior led swap. I'm re building my interior. This does not happen over night, or in a week. It will probably take me 3 weeks just to tear down the gtr seats and figure out the wiring. Then another 2-3 months to re wrap everything and stitch everything. I'm looking at feb to April to be all done and the car back on the streets.

I got both rails on the passenger seat, and bolted the base in. Know that if you don't understand wiring and have a mechanical skill of say 6 don't even attempt this. I will post pics when I'm home. My concern is these seats sit a touch closer to the center console than the OEM ones did. Once I get thesea all bolted up I will deal with the wiring. Should be a pain. Look for more to come. I expect to have one seat in and done in 2 more weeks.

Crap I forgot I hadn't posted pics yet... Well on a side note, my wife is out of town for 3 days, so I expect I should have the passenger seat done and wired up tonight, maybe..... It's going to be a little hard, and if all goes well my dual ring tails done by Sunday. Also, little pieces getting put back together.

Ive got some bad news..... There is no way for the GTR seats to fit and keep the motor on them. The GTR seats are about an inch wider, and the way the motor is pointed, the bar that moces the seat forward up down etc, wont fit. Therefore it wont work. The seats are a no go sorry. I will gladly part with them PM me if your interested. Looks like I will just have to get a set of sparco's and go that route. On the other side, I did get the 06 gauge cluster wired up, and the tail lights put back together.

I actually just thought of how these seats may work... I will nead brackets and sliders, but the forward and back may not be able to work, but a separate motor is in charge of the up/down of where your thighs sit, and the forward and back of the seat that's all wired in. If I can figure out that wiring these my still be some pretty sweet seats. I need help though. Does anyone have what the wires under the seats do, and know she to find that info for the gtr seats. Also I need to know what brackets and sliders I should look to get. If this does not end up working out, I'm either going with sportster cs seats, or sport top line. Mbut please help with information. I know lots of people are wanting to know how it works out.
