I got the drivers seat installed in my 245.

They sit a bit lower then the stock seats but I'm tall enough(6') that it doesn't matter.

The S14(95 nissan 240sx) has a sort of a stepped floorpan so the stock S14 seat rails are kind of different heights on each side.

The outside is really easy to adapt to the volvo sliders as you just remove the S14 slider and take a piece of flat iron with four holes in it and bolt it in.
The inside edge takes a little bit more work as the slider has a sort of angled(as in angle iron) piece that fits into the side of the seat frame.
I took the stock piece out and replaced it with a piece of angle iron with the appropriate holes drilled in it using the stock bolts with additional nuts to hold it in place.
Then the botton flat section of the angle iron gets to holes drilled in it to line up with the stock volvo slider.

If you measured the holes on the right side well enough the seat will sit level and firm.

The S14 seats certainly are not racing seats but they do provide a bit more lateral support then the stock 23 year old beanbag chairs that were in the car.

Looks like they're narrower and don't get in the way of the handbrake area so much either. You gonna color coordinate those things?

Yep, should make it easier to grab a handful of handbrake when i'm out drifting.

and not likely.
