Hey all,

Just bought a 1993 sierra for my daughter.

It has the following.
1.6 vitara motor
Extractors
Rear air locker with arb air compressor
Dual batteries with pirahna isolator
2" lift
Near new tyres x 5
Winch bar
Spotties
Rear bar wiith jerry can and spare wheel holder
Steel side bars
Snorkle
Fibreglass roof
No rust anywhere
Sony cd player

All this for $900

What i need is 2 front seat as the ones in it are stuffed.
does anyone know what seats bolts straight in or with minor mods.

Cheers

Phil

That is an Awesome deal! Almost TOO awesome!

Okay, here is the cautionary message:
I am making a semi-solid assumption that the Sierra is not so incredibly different from the American SJ413 - especially in the floorpan. Nor is the swb Mk I Vitara. Yes, I am a Yank... :D

That statement out of the way, I have swapped out my '88 SJ seats for MkI swb Sidekick/Tracker/Vitara with little difficulty. They are superior in comfort, not hard to find and not too wide for fitment. Unfortunately, some Vit seats are a bit garish-looking (mine are gray with pink center trim) so you might be a picky chooser in your search at the wrecking yard. On the downside, Vitara seats sit an inch higher. This might cause difficulties viewing overhead traffic lights when you are first in line at an intersection and the driver is much taller than 5'9" ( 175 cm)

Here is a swap post: http://www2.izook.com/?page_id=279

I hope that this helps!

The only seats that bolt straight in are another pair of Sierra seats.
Swift GTi and Baleno coupe fit with redrilling two holes on the rails
There are some other random seats that fit with minimal mods- Hyundai excel and Nissan pulsar n13 spring to mind. I've heard Mazda MX-5 and Honda CR-X also fit pretty well but like the swift GTi seats, they are lightly constructed and can be hard to find in good condition.

I dislike Sierra seats as they don't permit a sufficiently upright driving position if you have shorter arms or don't want to look hektik as bro.

This deal definitely seems too good to be true. Selling all of that for $900 due to a seat being screwed. Tyres and rims are worth that alone (depending on size of course).
The fibreglass roof if in good condition can fetch up to $500, the winch bar is similar price. As is a lot of other things in that list.

Make sure you thoroughly check over the car before you let your daughter venture out on her own. As a soon to be dad, my daughters safety is worth more to me then getting a good deal on a cheap car.
But if all checks out, you got a fantastic buy!

Welcome and enjoy!

It was checked out by my mate who is a, mechenic both car and diesel truck, harley mechenic, he also does restorations and panel work, plus i got it cheaper because we new the bloke selling it, he owns a salvage yard and buys and sells cars cheap for a quick turn over, we have been buying of him for over 20 years.

It is all good, and my daughter wont get behind the wheel till lm 110% happy with it.

Cheers

Baleno or Swift GTi seats get my vote. You may have to take a bit of time to find some in good condition... but they are so worth it.

Pic for reference. Mk1 GTI seats.
