Review: Cobra Nogaro seats (uniquely street friendly fixed back bucket seat)

[OldRanger]

Seeing the BK issues worries me some. No one has installed them in the last 6 months though so I do not know if the QC has improved.

I have installed BK products in the last six months.

Looking at your setup. You’ll need to connect the red/brown power terminal back to the main yellow connector. The connector circled in yellow looks like the wiring for the motor that i used. You can find the corresponding colors from my wiring. Only the two thick wires from the motor are used. The other two thinner yellow wires are for memory settings.

Your switch harness seems to have 5 wires. But the two brown look like ground. I would use the thickness of the wires to determine which ones to connect to the motor. I recall them being different thicknesses.

I have this exact same set up as DvSkD4 and just tried to wiring it up.

My seat harness only has one thick ground wire while the E30 switch pigtail has two- just like in DvSkD4 picture. I connected the motor wires (2), power, and one ground (all my seat harness has) from the seat harness to the E30 switch. As suspected the seat only moves in one direction which would mean one ground is disconnected (the one I didn’t plug to the switch). But again, my seat harness only has one thick ground. Am I missing something? Could ground be another thick wire from the harness? Hope that makes sense lol

Thanks man, I was overthinking it. This worked perfectly well, loving the seats. Can’t wait to get some real seat time 😁

Sir I just found your post on google about the cobra seats. Can you say these were the lowest seats you tried compared to pole position? I am tall and tired of my head hitting the headliner! Amazing looking car by the way..

thank you.

Seat height, for fixed back seats, generally depends more on the mounts than the seats.

If you really want to go as low as possible, the BK mounts that don't use sliders (direct to floor) are going to be your best bet. A good friend of mine is 7'1, and they allow him to sit upright in the car with a helmet.
