the only problem is that it is abut an inch to high even at its lowest setting :( but boy is it comfy :bigthumb:



Right I've shown u mine now u show me yours :biggrin:

and yes the base is still fully functional.

I don't have pics of my seat but I ghetto fabed my own frankenstein chair out of a normal office chair(that was broken) and a spare 240SX driver seat I had laying around.needs a little more work but it still good!

Its hella comfy though:biggrin:

yup.


but I hear the honda seats are easier to mod as the base is almost flat.
I had to space 1 side up by about 25mm to get it level

Mine's not too exciting, nor is it too comfortable either, but it was free so I am not bitchin' about it. I wanna get a leather "manager's chair" from Staples. Last time I was there they had them for $70, down from the $150 they used to be, but I had to practice self control :D

Honda > nissan.


Im sitting on one of my fathers old demonstrator chairs. (he imports and sells office chairs, so we currently have 3 in the flat :D )

It does everything a proper office chair should!


I wonder if there is much of a market for making chairs out of car seats?
My father can get bases, and gas lifts for very cheap, and in any quantity, and getting a mounting base welded up would not be that hard.
Getting the seats would be the easiest part, theres enough wreckers in Auckland.



tazdev how high is the current gas lift? and how high does it need to be? Might able to swap the one you have for a lower one. Can't have you getting RSI from a poorly adjusted chair. :)

its a standard height 1 (what ever that is) but needs to be about 1" shorter

Theres no such thing. :)
The 3 chairs I have here, are all differnt hights. It depends on where it was manufactored, and what sort of chair it was from.

My chair is your typical office chair- a butt cushion and backrest susion up/down adjustment and no armrests :biggrin:

No pic, but its an old kitchen chair.

Its.....


Too narrow
Too short
Poor arms
Crappy back support
No wheels
No adjustibility at all...

i also have an old kitchen chair, and i have to agree with Rich on everything he said about his

however, i need to add that the legs are busted on mine and the whole thing is being held together by duct tape.

mine is whatever i put the computer on... laptop ownz all yall

most of the time its the recliner chair in the living room or on the couch.

i want a chair made out of a Corvette Z06 or Lexus SC430 one....whered u get the R32 one Taz?

mine's your standard boring run-of-the-mill Ikea office chair, in gray. probably the most boring chair ever, and not terribly comfortable, but it does all it needs to do. my friend made one out of a Maxima chair that he got from a junkyard. next time the junkyard near me has their "$45 for all that you can carry away" days, i'll try to find a chair from a good car and make my own a la Taz.

the govt issued this chair too use when they refurnished base housing

seat was purchased off of a frind that brought an R32 GTS-T for the shell so he can get his back on the road. The rest I did myself.



Moppie. The gas lift is about 300mm long overall

please excuse the horrid picture quality :frown:

Kat: at least yours has armrests

I used to have a black one, but... uhh.. the stains got a little too intense.


sunbleach stains! sick bastards!

My home: a plastic, aluminum-framed lawnchair
