DF Type R Seats

[NSX2play]

i got these just over a year ago and they are very nice the wife loves them comfortable as [something]!

Shouldn't the seat belt receiver on the driver's side seat protrude through the hole and not be on the outside of the seat?

 

[scammy]

Yes they should but i am trying to find ones that dont stick all the way through and dig into your hip so i have tried them in all positions possible and tried extensions but the ones off the OEM seats dont really fit/match the seats, for track days i put them through there and remove the bottom padding otherwise they do dig into your hip i am a 34/36 waist any bigger and not a chance of getting in with them through there. It takes all of 5 minutes to change them around

This is a downforce seat we are talking about? It's that tight?

According to Thomas at Df they have shells, padding and a choice of red or black alcantara ready to go guys ....

But no leather in stock and none ordered

ref the seatbelt, you need an extended receiver as this will thread through and recess nicely into the moulding of the seat. This moulding to the seat is unique (I believe) the the OEM or DF seat. Std Pole Positions dont have it and you will have the hip issue

DF, let me know when you get the leather ...

Just so I understand, DF is still making seat's ?
If so that is great new's as I will be looking for a set early next year.

The stock nsx r seat belt receivers are longer so they don't dig your hips. You have this issue when you try to re use your nsx oem receivers with the type r seats

 

[scammy]

Do you have a part number for these?

[socalx]

Sorry I don't. When I ordered mine I just told the vendor that I needed the nsxr receivers. That vendor (rjp) unfortunately does not sell nsx parts at this time

 

[scammy]

Yes they are, really nice seat top job but the recievers are an issue to get correct. This is not DF's fault though

Is it out of the question to replace the bracket the receiver bolts the rails with to with one that is slightly taller to put the receiver in the optimal position?

 

[scammy]

Its as much the angle of the reciever as the length, i tried it with an extension and as per the photos it had to be on the outside of the seat otherwise it was missing your hip and going further in to the middle.
The height was still ok as it was not above your waist so you wont submarine if you had a mishap or hard braking situation. I have since just put the reciever on without the extension but that means i have very little forward or back movement for the seat as it sits hard against the console.
If we could get the nsx r part number that would solve it, otherwise you have to spend some time working on something to suit i have been to some wrecker yards with no luck so far for an alternative.

when can i get mine!!!

 

[scammy]

Just found the part number for the two recievers and ordered the drivers side one just incase they are not different even though the numbers are.
$109 kiwi will let you know the outcome when it arrives from Japan.

Hi scammy, what's the part number to those NSX-R driver's and passenger's seat belt receivers?

Thanks!

I went to a harness since i was tired of the belts digging into my hips. Never knew you could get extended ones

ITR belt receivers work as well with the OEM belts.

OK guys here goes, attached are photos of the two different recievers (standard and 'R' model-part number displayed on package) and installed, in one of the photos you can see i have reversed the extender i bought off a seatbelt specialist (this made the reciever stick out and up in earlier post) this holds the reciever in the correct place as shown in the last two photos.
I am going to get my local engineering shop to fab up an 'L' bracket so where the pivot point is on the extension to the reciever (4th photo) can then bolt to the SOS rails so that should anchor it nicely to the seat and the rail.
The reciever is the same length as standard but is narrower by approx 8mm so it does not stick as far out towards the middle of the seat and catch your hip as much, once youre in you do not notice it you just have to move your butt slightly to engage buckle to reciever when hopping in and out.
Hope this helps so unless someone can come up with a different part number for an NA2 R model, the recievers are basically the same length. I think the difference is in the rails.

Sorry for the obvious question here: are the seats mounted on the correct sides of the car? IIRC, the NSX-R seats are asymmetrical.

From your first post with the seats installed, it's hard to tell if they are or not.

From the SOS rail page, it seems like their L-brackets should put the receiver more or less where it should be.

Those are the ones i had in my car and they stab you in the side. I'm a 33 inch waist. I have a harness bar and went to 4 points

there is a few answers here and some variables.
Firstly; my seats are not asymmetrical they are the same both sides look at the first photo first post i had both 'L' brackets mounted on one set of rails and we swapped out the seats a couple of times with different mounting points to see if there was a difference, but no. The seat in the SOS webpage is not the same as mine if it had that indentation where the reciever goes then all would be better we did check to see if one side was narrower than the other.
Secondly; if you have a slimmer waist or hips it is not really a problem, 33 and below should be fine, i am a 34/36 so any bigger that would be real tight but a harness bar and belts would be fine as stated above.
Third; the new reciever is narrower and a slightly different angle so it does not curve? into the middle of the seat so much, so the L bracket supplied may work better now with that bracket? on the original seats the reciever screws into the seat rails this seems more secure what i am suggesting is mount to both. My belts are bolted to those 'L' brackets no problem there.The SOS seat rails are good but designed for a variety of seats so not necessarily perfect for just one?
Four; i suggested to DF that they offer a skinnier cushion so you can sit lower and then your hip would be a bit lower than the reciever, when you take the cushion out its not such a problem taller guys may want to think about that.
just a couple of photos with me in the seat so you can see both sides are the same.

 

[geometro]

Interesting, I wonder if DF has since changed the design of their seats?

Their original seats seemed like there was an obvious side for the seatbelt reciever.

Perhaps there was some pattern work change to the cover as the pattern for a leather cover is different from a textile/suede one.

*From the pictures, it's difficult to see: but it seems like the passenger and drivers side seats are reversed? It seems to be curved more on the seat belt side and the receiver side seems "flatter" than it should be. Sorry it's hard to tell in the pictures.

 

[socalx]

I did not notice a difference in shape of the factory nsx r seats
I ordered na2 type r receivers and I believe they were longer the my na2 non r receivers.
