Doing it now . Done drivers seat last night and passenger tonight . Must admit it is a bit of mucking around but I think I'll be a bit better at it tonight . Comfort can't say yet as I haven't driven any where. I went for xr6 seats full leather with hurran seat adapters. Also the electrics are not used with the conversion. I thought they were . Finding the seats was easy they are every where the ones I got had only travelled 70 thousand klms so are in great Nic . Cost me 450 for the pair . Plus the adapter kit you'll need to purchase also . Good luck

 

I’ve always been one to think that leather seats would be no good to sit on after being in the sun a while. I wouldn’t know cause I’ve never had them haha. I also thought you could modify the old rails ?

Has anyone done the xr6 seat conversion in a gu ? I’d just like to know what’s involved and how hard it is to do. I’ve tried searching for a thread on it but didn’t come up with anything. Any info is much appreciated

Mate this has been done on here before, have a look at this thread, from memory I think there may have been others.

What you see in the pictures some how needs to be added to the hurracan seat adapters that they supply ? Which I can't see anyway how that can happen . It's not simply an unbolt part it's fixed in numerous spots. Unless Iam missing something. But they did tell me when I called that it's not something there adapters work with .

 

So do the Ford slider rails unbolt from that base with the electric motors.

 

No.

 

So I'm totally confused now. I have them in my 2006 Cab Chassis. I got a set out of a ute so I can tilt them forward, the driver's seat has electrics and it all works. My biggest drama was that the seat is about 25mm higher and reduces the amount of room between steering wheel and seat.
Really comfortable, had to revert back to the original after a run in the the DOT here in Perth but they will be going back in once thats all sorted.

 

So did DOT sticker ute for seats or other reasons and you taking out for ease of sticker removal? This is all speculation on my part as have had the pleasure of DOT

 

Yeah I’m confused too. I don’t understand how they work without that base. Looked on the site but still doesn’t make sense. Has to be using the ford or Nissan rails to have for/aft movement.

 

Iam confused also . But I was talking to Jason from hurracan and was informed that the ford electrics that make the chair move up and down will not fit on there rails that they supply and must use to fit in my gu ute . I believe they also supply to incharge automotive and they also have no electrics as I asked the guy from there last week .

If people have the electrics working you've done well I was hoping I could use them but it's not to bad without them

 

I have a set of FG seats installed complete with all the electrics using the huracan adapter mounts. The only Nissan part left is the seat belt clip. The backwards and forwards control is part of the Falcon seats. But as someone mentioned above there is a bit less room to get your legs between the steering wheel and the seat.

 

Can you post up any photos please mate?
Easy to do on your phone with the tapatalk app.

 

Pictures as requested.

 

i see them attached in your quote but can't see them, on the page?

 

Kiwi, It just seemed easier once I spoke to DOT about modification permits and 7 week turn around. Original W/O for 4 inch lift and 35 inch tyres.

 

Bugger. Still cant see the photos. Don't know what is going on there.

 

Went for a drive this arvo on road and off road . Definitely more comfortable.

 

Now if you get the XR changed to td ������

 

Or better yet ZD [emoji16]

I like shiny stuff

 

Looks good mate even if we can't work out how the hell they have changed the mounts. any chance you can take a couple of pics up underneath like scottspat did. I'm still trying to work out how they got them lower and how they removed the adjustment.

 

So once XR seats fitted.
Are they fixed??
Can’t be slid forwards or backwards?

 

If you go with the Huracan bases they have always had for/aft adjustment. The new bases though don't appear to allow any tilt adjustment, which appears to be how they have gotten them to sit lower. Even the DIY bases that have popped up on here from time to time still allow for/aft adjustment as they still use either the ford slides or adapt to the Nissan slides.

 

Thanks for info, I am now going to buy the huracane rails.
Not being able to slide the seat forward would have a nightmare for fitting in a SWB and access things out of the car.

 

The new hurricane adapters now drop the seat 25mm instead of raising it. I am a big bloke and I have plenty of room.

 

If you want the tilt option you need by the XR ute seats, I had to sell my XR sedan seats as a SWB need the tilt option for the rear seats.

 

To be clear, when I was talking about tilt adjustment, I was referring to the seat base adjustment angle which is what you lose with the new lower Hurracan seat bases. Nothing to do with the seat back tilt forward function which as stated is a function of only the ute seats.
