Is there anyway to fix the seat? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

240sxspeedracer1 · 01-01-2002, 10:12 AM

I don't really know how it happened but I drive a lot in my car.  All of a sudden I notice that my seat doesnt go stright up anymore.  What the heck happened there?  Is there anyway to fix that and make it go straight up again?  The farthest up it would go still isnt good enough, If I wanted to use the headrest I would be laying down too far back and thats too risky.  Anyway, is it possible to fix that?  I dont care about the method, if you know a way and it seems ghetto, I'll do it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

man, since you asked ghetto, put a wash board between the driver seat and the rear seat <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

lol, thats funny.  I was actually thinking about putting something that would keep the seat erect just like what u said.  I will probably try something similar to that.  HEHEHE, very ghetto, any other ideas?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>??

I washoping on some more ideas.  It seems like now a days topics get thrown to like the 4th page in less than two days.  Anyway, if you happen to be looking at this, can you give me an idea?  ####, maybe I should just put a pillow on my seat.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

You could always try to find out why it's not going up enough. Pull the seat out and look at the hinge. . .

take a free day and rip apart your seat and then put it back together, i bet you find something wrong with it. ####, i do that with my while car when i get bored. no, seriously, your gonna hafta either prop it up with something, buy a new stock seat from a junk yard, or upgrade to a cheaper racing seat. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
