Nissan Skyline R32 With Corbeau Seats
Customer cars, May 2021
We supplied one of our customers with a pair of Corbeau Sportline RS2 reclining sport seats for their Nissan Skyline R32. The suede panels on the seats have transformed the interior, and they sit well in the R32's cabin.
A reclining seat like the RS2 keeps the car easy to live with on the road while holding the driver far better than the factory seat. Here is what went in and how a seat like this is fitted to an R32.
- Car: a Nissan Skyline R32
- Seats: a pair of Corbeau Sportline RS2 reclining sport seats
- Suede panels on the bolsters, fabric centres
- Used with the car's standard seat belts
- Fitted on a frame and runners suited to the car
The car and the seats
The R32 Skyline is a car people keep and cherish, and the interior is where the owner spends every drive. The customer chose a pair of Corbeau Sportline RS2 reclining seats, with suede panels across the bolsters around a fabric centre, and the Corbeau logo on each back.
The result is a cabin that looks purposeful but stays comfortable. The seats recline, so the car is still easy to use every day, and the shaped bolsters hold the driver much better in corners than the original seats.
How a Corbeau recliner fits an R32
Using fitting parts made for the seat and the car is the key to a safe installation. For the R32 we recommend the Planted Technology seat bracket, which is designed specifically for the Skyline R32 and bolts to the factory mounting points.
Corbeau sliding runners then connect the base of the reclining seat to the frame, because they share the same bolt pattern. The seat bolts to the runners, the runners bolt to the bracket, and the bracket bolts to the floor.
Garreth’s advice is to tell us the exact Skyline and which seat you have in mind before ordering, so we can confirm the bracket and the runner width. Our guide to seat bolt patterns explains why the runner width matters with Corbeau seats.

Doing the same to your car
We have Corbeau fitting kits for a wide range of cars, and the process is the same whatever you drive. Find the fitting kit that matches your car, choose the Corbeau seat you want, and add Corbeau sliding runners for a reclining seat.
For a fixed bucket seat, Corbeau side mounts go between the seat and the frame. If the car will see track days, a set of harnesses can be added, as long as the car has proper anchor points. Our harness fitting guide covers what is needed.
