240Z: Bride Histrix number two arrived :)
About two years ago i was a lucky guy to find a NOS Bride Histrix Seat on Yahoo auctions. Probably the last new one for sale. I bought it and ever since then i was looking for a second one, because only one would suck. A few months ago my Buddy Stef was at my place and we talked about how hard it would be to find a second one. The same evening he saw something about a Histrix for Sale and sent me a screenshot.
I Immediately got in contact with the seller but it wasn’t really a seat for sale, but more possibility to get one custom made for my by Bride Japan. A lot of emails back and forth and negotiating, which even including talking to Bride representatives at Tokyo Auto Salon earlier this year and finally, yesterday this box showed up at my door.. 🙂
Inside was a Brand-spaking-new, Order-made only-for-me damn BRIDE Histrix Seat. Oh how happy i am 🙂
My girl also liked the fact that there will be a passenger seat for her in the car now too 🙂
So at least that task is closed now. Seats – acomplished 🙂

Hello
What measures are your girl?
JDMjunkies.ch
Haha, funny question 🙂 I don’t know exactly but she’s quite small. around 1.65m high and skinny. so not the average. But i fit in the seat tightly and i’m 1.80m and around 82 kgs 😉

Cool, I hope my girl will fit aswell. No real measures to be found regarding these seats, but I’ll order two soon.
Could you measure the width of the seating “butt” area?
Thanks!!

Check out the measures here. The “sidewall” is quite thin so the seating area is not much smaller than the overall width:

Hi Herbert,
What kind of seat rail? Normal? Low position? What seat? Standard? After market? Brand?
There are dozens of seat rails depending on your needs and the seat. you might want to have look at ebay or your local japanese parts dealer.
