You can put any seat in there that will fit, but will have to be mod plated

Not just any thing. Alot of seats need alot of modifications to the seat rails. There are seats that will go in easy with not much work like swift seats, race seats
I wouldn't rely on my answer as I don't no much about this, But make sure your seats mounts are well done or they won't pass inspection

I stuck Suzuki Swift seats in mine. Cost me $200 and were very easy to fit. You will need a mod plate if you fit anything other than the original seats

Make sure that you check how the person mod plating it wants the seats mounted prior to doing the work. Autotechnica Monza seats supposedly only need new holes drilled in the rails. I put some no name brands in mine and I had to make some adapter plates out of 8mm plate.
Just a heads up. Your car is already illegal with the back seats removed unless it was imported originally as a 2 seater or mod plated already to have the rears removed. Not that anyone seems to care that much but if you're looking at getting it road worthy'd it is something they may ping you for. Throw the rear seats back in for the inspection.

You use the rails off the seats in your Sierra and just bolt the Swift seats to them. The passenger seat takes a bit of dicking about

remember to look for a GTI swift, standard swift and barina will fit, but if you want buckets they are only in GTI's. Some others that are a close fit are DC Integra, late model swift.

I fitted the Honda DC5 Intergra's in mine. They are a nice seat but a few things to remember.... you need custom seat rails made (both sides) a mod plate and also the height of the seat is a few inches higher.

I had to refit the back seats and belts into my soft topp SJ70 to pass the Blue Slip. The lap belts, flimsy rear end and lack of a roll bar (that had to come out for rego too) makes them the most dangerous seats I have ever seen in any car. Someone at the RTA should get back onto their common sense medication. Should never have been imported as a four seater.
