Datsun 240Z Bucket Seat Guide
The Datsun 240Z...
The Datsun 240Z, launched in 1969 by Nissan under the Datsun name, was a game-changer in the sports car world. It blended sleek European-inspired styling with Japanese reliability and a price that undercut its competitors. Powered by a 2.4-liter inline-six, it delivered strong performance and a great driving experience. In the US, it helped redefine what an affordable sports car could be, quickly gaining a cult following. Today, the 240Z is celebrated as a classic that helped put Japanese performance cars on the global map.
Once you start using your Datsun 240Z for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support.
On cornering, you may find yourself holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position your self after the corner.
None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported, and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported, allowing you to focus on the job at hand.
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our Datsun 240Z guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
Recommended brackets:
We recommend these pieces of installation equipment to ensure the successful installation of the side-mounted bucket seats and base-mounted sports recliners we suggest in our guide.
We have a vehicle-specific sub-frame from Planted Technology that uses all three popular bolt patterns used on aftermarket seats, making it compatible with most seats on the market. If you want to use optional sliding runners for an adjustable set-up, make sure to use the Cobra-branded sliding runners for Cobra base-mounted seats only and the Endurance Motorsport sliding runners for everything else.
