The bucket seats can hold a 5 point harness!

I have heated seats with no TRAC, but then again I have a five speed.

Forgive me for resurecting and bumping a (good) thread from four years ago...

So I easily swap out the seats today and find no plug-in for the seatbelt switch so that idiot light is stuck on regardless of whether I'm wearing.

Did anyone get a work-around for this? If I knew what wires to splice I could go that route also. The passenger has no plugs at all. Should mention that neither of Supra TT seats I got came without the female side of the seat belt plug so I swaped my SC's over and they have a two wire harness from the recepticle looking for something to plug into.

Agreed that these seat are drastically lighter, especially the passenger side and feel great as they hug your torso. They're noticably lower probably wrong for drivers under 5'8". I'm 5'10" and they are about perfect, but I would not want them any lower.

Is there any way to get the slide motor wired up correctly? I've already taken care of the tilt motor and the seat belt light.

I believe the JDM seats do not have a power setup for what is our driver seat and their passenger seat. My USDM Supra seats had two plugs, one for slide and one for tilt. Neither of which are plug&play. The main power and ground wires from the the body harness of the SC are the thick Blue w/ Yellow strip (+12v) and the thick White w/Black stripe (ground). I managed to get the tilt wired because there is no manual adjustment to the tilt but you can slide the seats forward and back with two bolts under the front edge of the seat. The outboard bolt is a 12mm and the inboard is 10mm. This is a time-consuming process unless you have an impact tool or drill.
DO NOT attempt to wire the tilt and slide motors to the main power and ground wires. I did and blew a few fuses. I was left with a car with no ABS, a window that wouldn't close and it wouldn't shift out of park.

I still haven't found how to do this, but my seat is in a good position and I'm the only driver so it's not high on my priority list.

As far as the seat belt light, I chose to hook it to the ground and the light is off permanently.

Good luck with the wiring and DEFINITELY let me know if you found a solution to the slide motor issue.

The Supra seats are 75lbs lighter?!
Jezis, how much do our seats actually weigh?

You mean to tell me, by taking out both seats, I can eliminate 150lbs?

Ps: Has anyone made a custom seat?

In other words, the Supra seats are indeed awesome 'cus their shape is aesthetically perfect; they're in accordance with the shape of the SC300, and look sporty, as if those were the seats the SC should have come with in the first place. However, has anyone somehow taken the heating element, or the lumbar, etc. and retained the SC's power features on a set of Supra seats?

If so, I would pay to have that done...

Some Supras came with heated seats. They are indeed lighter and one could ask the leatherseats.com guys to send you convers for Supra seats with SC colors.

It's actually the many motors in the SC seats that make it heavy. SC seats are also taller so after the swap you'll be sitting very low and look like a little boy when driving.

Cheers.
