Your front seats, what do they do.....

[suprra_girl]

I see you have option of manual or elect, was the elec seats just optional and standard bodies come with manual?

Also with your elec seats, what directions does the bottom do (no recline info needed) i.e forward, back etc

I have power seats in my 1987, I think it came with the "Sport package"

It has MANY different settings.

1. Electric - entire seat forward
2. Electric - entire seat backwards
3. Electric - ass rest, angled upwards
4. Electric - ass rest, angled downwards
5. Electric - lumbar support out
6. Electric - lumbar support in
7. Electric - seat hugs and holds you
8. Electric - seat doesn't hug and hold you
9. Manual - Back part of seat leans forward
10. Manual - back part of seat leans forward
11. Manual - headrest forward
12. Manual - headrest backward


This is one of the most comfortable seats I sit it, never change to a racing seat unless you are actually racing.

i don't ever intend on getting stupid racing seats lol i wuv my 35odd kg seats haha

so you have up/down rear and up/down front on the "ass" section lol?

reason i ask is i was looking at the epc and i can't see the other shaft which controls the rear up/down but i could see 3 motors, so it made sense to me that you did have it but it just wasn't shown in the epc diagram

i found the plastic winder that the shaft goes through for the rear of my seat to go up and down had been broken so i've been going through the mission of repairing that, talk about effort required to fix one little plastic winder LOL

oh and if you're curious only the ga70 import or new zealand or australian new came with manual seats, or those silly turbo R's that have no toys haha

Im pretty sure america only got the electric seats but mr jeff lange would have to clear that up for me.


But i do love them id never get rid of them. Ive had friends sit in them and want sets for their cars/trucks.

Hell i have one in my room that i watch tv in sometimes!

 

[Jayhall]

i was fortunate enough to part out a JZA70 and now have the recaro seats. All manual and super light, compaired to the stock leather seat of course

 

[BorHor]

I think most US cars got electric seats. I have heard of a few with manual but I am not sure if it was factory or added on later.

 

[EdgeSupra]

I have non-electric seats in my 89 hardtop.

 

[steveyblack]

i only got electric lumbar, the slide and lean parts are manual

 

[bmoss85]

i just bought a 90t that has manual seats excepts for the lumbar adjustments, but they are not the original seats that came in the car. they are still supra seats just cloth instead of leather. this is my third supra and the first one ive had without full electric drives seat.

 

[marc3]

in my '88, they were semi- electric. the ajustments for the bottom of the seats were manual. but for the back support, and moving forward was all electric!
of course now my seats are fully manual, having fallen on a pair of practiclly new turbo-r recaro seats!!:icon_bigg

 

[suprra_girl]

interesting, at least toyota didn't really change the seats, wouldn't surprise me if they decided that they would change one part just to be different lol

i'm gonna tackle the motor again this morning as i think i broke it last night LOL
So diassembly of front of seat required again haha

 

[suprra_girl]

soooooooo bags not doing that again, vertical motor replacement sucks
Turns out i didn't break it phew! haha, the metal bush on the shaft which is the stopper had been deformed from the motor being overwound which then chewed teeth out inside the top of the motor.
I think there was something wrong with the part in the motor that detects resistance and automatically stops.

So i've replaced the shaft, bushes and motor with another good one and now it's working

But yea, def not again haha

You see, the reason why i really really needed it working is coz i'm a shortass and i couldn't see over the bonnet properly LOL

 

[LilMissMkIII]

The electric seats are great for us shorties (I won't ever be getting rid of mine)

 

[steveyblack]

you can get a phone book if your not tall enough

 

[LilMissMkIII]

Phone books are not comfortable

 

[hottscennessey]

i only got electric lumbar, the slide and lean parts are manual

same, at least thats what I traded up for.

 

[trydrew]

I have a driver cloth seat from an 89T in my fully loaded 90T. My car was originally leather. Both seats have the same controls though. They are:

-Front bottom Up/Down
-Back bottom Up/Down
-Seat, entire Forward/Back
-Seat recline Forward/Back
-Lumbar In/Out
-Side Bolster In/Out
+ Manual recline

 

[IJ.]

Semi Electrics are MUCH more comfortable

Full electric feel like you're sitting on a box under the seat.

 

[adampecush]

Electric lumbar, bolsters, front and rear tilt, forward and rearward movement, and electric reclining here. 89 turbo.

 

[trydrew]

My driver seat is more comfortable than my passenger, that's all I care about.
