I forgot I had the opportunity to seat on these in Pete's car last MRLS.... so regret it that I didn't.

Dang - and I forgot to push it. I'm positive you would fit but always worth a session in seat to see how you like the position, et al.

AMAZING review Jamie!! I've been dying for some coverage on these seats, currently trying to weigh up whether or not to bite the bullet myself, it's a lot of money to part with for a seat you'll never sit in beforehand. My main struggle is whether to go with black or tan with a red NA that interior is simply amazing too, it looks like a premium OEM interior.

On an unrelated topic, I think I'm one of the few who prefers the later year dashboards than the earlier models. They're all the same in the U.K. And Japan, no choice or refined rounded dash with an airbag

But back to seats; I considered the carmakecorns seats at one stage, but they're not much cheaper and racing seats don't do it for me, the Nakamae's are literally the only high quality Classic buckets made as an option...

Phat, you'll never sell the Nakamae seats, they're waayyyy too pretty

After I saw the CarMakeCorns seats in 93LE red I had another vision ...... maybe a retro race themed interior ? ..................

Just the driver's seat in red in an otherwise black interior (nicely trimmed of course) would be tits for such a theme.

Imagine if that red seat was a Nakamae seat

Some fellows over on M.net asked about ingress & egress. I will provide the pics and videos I supplied there, here as well.

Pics and videos of myself sitting in and getting in & out of the seats.

Seat belt buckled, empty:



Seat belt buckled, occupied:



Ingress & egress w/ Nakamae Type R seats 1:

Getting in, putting seat belt on, removing, and then getting out.



Ingress & egress w/ Nakamae Type R seats 2:

Getting in & out, changing door position and again getting in & out.



Ingress & egress w/ Nakamae Type R seats 3:

Getting in & out with door in barely open position (as if parked closely to another vehicle).



Hope that answers any questions about the difficulty of ingress & egress.
