Who has put aftermarket seats in thier MQ?I need to do this as im doing reasonable range touring on weekends.What seats you put in and how much hassle?Im leaning towards early commondore seats.Any suggestions? I dont want to spend a heap on seats either so recaros and saas is out of the question

i put a areotech seat in mine used the factory nissan base and basiclly and made it fit previous owner had commodore seats in it when i got it he had did the same said he got the seat and made it fit so it has work for me i hope this helps get a seat so you know what you have to do cheers

Nissan navara seats bolt straight to the mq mounts. Im in tassie and if you want a set i have some here (good) on bases. $100 the pair.

are those seats comfy? i'll take em

Used to have a work narvara.around a 98 model.might have well been sitting on milk crates.Seems to be the general plan to shoehoen a cheap(but comfy)seat in there

Dunno what seats you were sitting on but yes they are way better than the originals

I have Recaro buckets in mine, just used the standard MQ rails and made a plate to sit in between the seat and the top of the rails.

Also, Nissan Pintara bucket seats are confy and there is little mods needed to fit them up.

just got some n15 pulsar seats 145 the pair, lots of bolstering, comfy seats, i'll fit them on the standard patrol rails, just make brackets...

thax for the info.Looks like ill be getting some VC commodore seats for nothing .there even blue so theyll match.Ill let you guys know how i go
Cheers

On a related note, what do you guys think of the factory suspension seat and what are they worth?

Yea, theyre good and comfy! i think theyre worth a bit tho, ive got them in my shorty which is my daily driver, so needs to be a bit comfy.
In my ute and for hardcore stuff id rather have the fixed ones tho, (like the n15 seats i just bought for it) although you can lock out the suspension action of the suspension seats at different heights, they are also pretty heavy.

My recaros are pretty heavy as well

I fitted a couple of RX7 buckets - required some jigging of mounts, but are firm and keep you where you need to be. Cost me $150 for the two seats, and another $100 for 'approved' mounting. All done in North Adelaide. However it is a real love/hate thing - I love them, buy my wife hates them because she can't curl her legs under!

Commodore seats raise you too high to the roof lining - I had some in my silver petrol (remember that one Screwy - sweet lookin ride with bling alloys) head used to hit all the time...

You might not be like me but mate.

Thanx for the tip Patroldude,I will bear that in mind. I got rid of my ute and bought a shorty. The seats in that are good enough for me.

Cheers

good call! was just about to say i wish i still had the seats from my pinny to put in the mq but then again i dont really think my patrol's seats are that bad...certainly a LOT more comfortable than the seats in my dad's VS commo...
