I am looking to buy some seats out of a 94 Z, but they are not power. The guy I am buying them from has an extra seat that is power, he says I can just switch the power track onto the seats I am going to buy. Is this possible, and how hard is it? Or could I use the power track off of my old seat and put it on to the new one? Thanx in advance!

4 bolts. Turn your seat over and you could very easily answer your own question.

Sorry for asking a question, Jim... I didn't know that wasn't allowed... I just thought maybe someone had done this and could answer my question...

Now is there anyone out there with something helpful to say? thanx for any productive help!

It's hard to tell from a drawing but from the looks the frame does bolt to the bottom of the seat. From what I see there is only one style seat(butt part) frame made so just as a guess,, I would think they attach at the same 4 points. There is however Alot more crap on the frame(slider) to the power seat that you'll want to be carful of not damaging,, replacements to look to be cheap.
Hope that helps some.
Also you might want to go look at the 2 different seats if they are in the same place to confirm you can actually swap them.

Jim has done it. Its 4 bolts holding it on to the track like he said, take your seat off and see for youself. You dont have to be a rocket scientist to take a seat out. I dont see how you want anymore "productive help", its very easy.

Thanks deadbird... I talked to the guy with the seats, he looked at them and backed up what you had said.

I'm not trying to be a ***** here. It just seems that sometimes people get overly dependant on this site for information. Need to know how to install a camshaft or a new radio? That's awful tough to learn without help. Turning over a seat and looking at how the track is bolted to it? I think that's well within your abilities.

Yeah, I know how to pull a seat... but it is a little hard to do when I don't have access to my car at the moment. Plus, even though 3rd and 4th gen seats bolt into the same holes on the car it does not mean the tracks are the same. And seeing as I don't own any 4th gen seats, I can not check those. Also sometimes things look like they will change over and it ends up they wont. I am sure someone else has wondered if they can use their power 3rd gen track on a manual 4th gen seat. I know there had to be someone on here who has done this. For all these reasons I felt I had a valid question. It isn't like I asked "where does the key go?" I wasn't looking for some amazing answer, a simple yes, and it is easy; yes, but it is a pain; or no and my question would have answered.
I am sorry if people ask simple questions, but if you don't have anything helpful to post, please just click the back button and go onto the next post.

I assumed his extra power seat was the same as the non-powered seat. You never said anything about using a 3rd gen track on a 4th gen seat. I can understand that you wouldn't necessarily know about that. Maybe I shouldn't jump on you for asking a silly question, and instead I'll jump on you for phrasing it poorly.
