Ultima Seat imensions

[bob999]

I have been trawling the web to find seats to suit the GTR. I still cannot go past the Reverie carbon fibre seats with the perforated leather padding.
They are certainly not cheap but they do really look the goods. The model preferred is

Mulsanne C, Twin Skin Seat, Carbon Fibre (R01SI0001)

Does anybody know if these will fit? Does anybody have the dimensions of what Ultimasports offer?

Bob,

I found these too late - but I may still switch to these - they look awesome....

I'm just down the road from Reveria and have sat in the seats a while back and they are certainly very nice, I also have no doubt that they will physically fit.
However I am also equally certain that they are too upright to be comfortable in an Ultima...

I have the standard Ultima seats (in leather), and they are very comfortable.

I am 6'1 and about 210 pounds and fit really well. I have had some passengers as big as 6'5 and 250 pounds and they fit well (although the elbow room on the central mounted gear shift is tight when someone that big is sitting in the passenger seat - next to big 'ol me).

I'd recommend staying with the Ultima seats, given that is what Ted and Richard stand behind. My wife and I did a 12 hour road trip last fall and the seats were fine. A bit of extra cushioning under the bum would be nice on trips that long, but you can do that with a simple thin pillow or cushion. My wife actually ended up sleeping in the passenger seat for a while at the end of the day.

hmmmmm good point. You'll also need the angle of the seat base - Reverie only give the angle of the back.

I got a reply from Reverie very promptly. Its as follows

Hope you are well, thanks for the e-mail and the link to the piston heads site
We have sold Mulsanne B seats before to an ultima gtr owner in the uk. I think he had the later recessed floor pan, but Im not sure thats essential
He fitted them with side mount sub frames
That means the Mulsanne C should also fit

The Mulsanne XC and XRC more race style seats have never been tried

If it does fit and you decide to go ahead Id love to see some photos of the finished install

Best of luck

Seems like it may be workable. Simon dosent address the angle problem so I have sent another email regarding this.

Does anyone know the guy in the UK that is using these seats?
