Mitsubishi FTO Seats
Previously seen in my 180BSSS, now for sale as i have OMP buckets.
Excellent choice for daily driver with long legs.
These seats let you stretch back so far you can't reach the pedals But if you are a grandma, and like to smell the steering wheel, you can do that too no worries.
Not only are they comfortable, but they offer an awesome seating position, and will hug you when at the track. I mean, look at those thigh and back supports.
Good value upgrade for your old seats.
In great condition if you ignore the two small cigarette burns.
I can supply mounting brackets for a 180BSSS, but i don't think these would qualify as street legal. Your choice... However they are easy to fit.
Located in Wollongong (2519).
$350 for the pair firm.
These cost $500 at the importers.
Pickup or buyer organises freight.

Thanks Doll,
Ebay might be an option... but at a later date. It's a bit tricky to communicate with buyers, forums seem to be way faster and smoother. Besides, i'm in no real hurry to sell (they are too comfy).

Can't honestly tell you mate,
But if they came out of a small FTO and fit into a small Datsun, there's a good chance they'll suit your application too.
I'll get some measurements for you soon. Stay tuned...

Cheers for that Shiri.
I made mounting brackets for my rails for only $10. Use angle steel and simply drill the holes where they need to be. Too easy.

When i did it, i unbolted the stock seats (and rails, comes out as one unit) using the 4 stock bolts.
Then i dummy fitted the FTO seats 'till i got a nice position.
Now you start measuring up a mounting bracket for the FTO rails (and the associated seat... it's all one unit). That way, should you want to unbolt them and put the stock seats back in, you can... using only 4 bolts 
Make the bracket so it uses the 2 front stock bolt holes. Now drill 2 more holes which line up with the FTO holes, so you can bolt the front on. Look at pic. The inside point needs a spacer. I made mine from square tube.
The rear is the fun part. Drill the two holes where ever they line up. Make sure nothing is underneath...
Now re-enforce the under side with a 70x50x3 steel plate.
Need i say use the biggest diameter HS bolts that'll fit through the available holes?
All done. Enjoy your new low seating position with comfort and support.
How it looks in my Datsun:

DIMENSIONS:
MAX width = 540mm
MAX length = 590mm
MAX height = 940mm
Distance from bottom rail to seat base = 190mm (slopes to about 5cm @ rear)
I should also mention the drivers seat gets arse and thigh adjustability 
Currently set at MAX front and MIN rear. Look at pic to get idea.
This setting gave me amazing head clearance over the stock seats, even with a helmet on
