OEM NSX-R Seats in Black

[nsx1]

Received the rails and seat belt receivers today... Still missing the power slide switch control.

A couple of issues to resolve since all this stuff is for a RHD car...
1) Left-hand seat belt receiver is plain and the right-hand receiver has the electrical connection for the seat belt warning. That's easy enough to resolve because thay can be swapped to the other side.
But 2) the driver's seat harness is made to just fit the right-hand side. (See bottom photo with red circles.) I will have to open up the loom and re-route the connectors.
Plus, 3) the slider switch connector is on the wrong side. I will modify the loom for that also.


Rail parts:

Rail installed:

Here is the harness and seat belt receiver set for USDM arrangement. Notice the seat belt receiver connector (red circle) and the power slide switch connector (blue circle) are on the wrong sides:

when I fitted type R seats into my previous NSX (93 sebring) we had a lot of trouble with the power connections since the pin layout is different for the Type-R, dont know if you will have this issue or not but thought that I would mention it. My seats were from a 95 type-R, these look like they are from a 2002+ -R so maybe same pin layout?

Beautiful seats!

Nice! They finally came in. You still have a few hours 'till the Valencia Meet to have it all squared away. :biggrin:

the passenger and driver plugs on the floor for the power rails are different.
you can just undo them/dismantle, and switch sides.

I installed the seats last night... and since I didn't have the power switches, I plugged the RHD power harness into my LHD power connector, shorted the correct pins, and slid the seat to the proper driving position. So, from what you guys say, that connector issue was with the earlier models. At some point they must have changed it. When I examined the left and right power connectors on the two harnesses, they were identical except for the extra two contacts for the seat belt warning on the drivers harness.

Let us know if you gain any headroom.

No gain in head-room. I measured the stock driver's seat from the lowest point of the seat pad to the ceiling above the head and measured 35.5 inches. I performed the same measurement with the NSX-R seat and came up with 35.4 inches.

Do I see another trophy coming in the near future???:biggrin:

Went for a ride with Steve last night. Those seats are a perfect fit for me, with my build (5'7, 155 lbs). You definitely feel snug and secure in them, a more direct feel with the car. Especially when the rear tires break loose...:biggrin: ... you feel confident in staying in control :wink:

Nice purchase Steve This puts you up in "rare-air" status

to check out your new suspension and seats and of course to see all
the nice people again.

Very well I will see you then.

Perhaps I should stop by DownForce and pick up some new goodies. :wink:

Anyways, happy to see your progress. Your baby is looking great!

 

[Prospeed]

post some pics up installed! If not i'll see your car at the SCA meet! They look beautiful! Congrats!

 

[nsx1]

Took a few photos of the seats this morning while at Cars & Coffee. The lighting was not great as it was overcast... but you get the idea.

I must really be getting used to these new seats, because when I left the meet today, I can't recall at time that I've ever felt being so in touch with the car. I like them...

 

[RON98]
