hi guys..Im new here
firstly, Im wondering how to remove the factory s15 rails off the s15 seat?
and
secondly because I have an aftermarket Recaro SR3 seat ready to be put in.
the problem is the recaro seat comes with some random seat rails and bracket which does not fit into s15 so Im just wonder how to remove this rail off the seat? I cant find any nuts for unbolt the rail..:eek:

I think they could be riveted. I pulled my seats out of my old car for a different reason and found that I couldn't take the rails off as they had rivets through them. These seats look the same as that.

If you have a new recaro seat and a the recaro rails for the S15... why do you need to remove the rails off the standard S15 seat? Surely its irrelevant... Confused.com

I may not make this clear..sorry haha
the problem i have is that the recaro seat which I would like to put into s15 it has a random rails and bracket which does not fit my s15( the one in the picture), it needs to be remove which I don't know how lol..so I can get my recaro rail ( for s15 ) mount onto the seat and put it into my silvia..

Hope that makes it clearer??
sorry my English is bad :eek:

ahhhhh right, you need to remove the rails from the recaro seat not from the standard S15 seat? Got ya! In which case I'd have thought it'd be easy enough to drill the rivets and pop them out, probably your best bet :)

Its a pain in the ass mate. The rails are lop sided, as the inner mounts are higher than the outer ones.
Best off buying the rail for the seat and the car from Recaro.
