Question Are the stock seats any different?

When I sit in the passenger seat in my 06 Z it is more comfortable then the drivers seat. It seems like it is wider and supports/cups my back better. Are they the same seat or is it my imagination?

I just noticed yesterday that the seats in my '06 enthusiast are cosmetically different. The drivers seat has "pad" overlay front center (between the legs) that is not on the passenger seat.

So I suspect that driver's seat is also somewhat different functionally. The driver's seat also has greater adjustability.

well Z drivers are usually male, and the passengers are usually female...

so the drivers side seat has a cushion for your crotch area, it supports your crotch area through hard driving conditions. the passenger side doesn't.

also, have you guys checked underneath the seats? there is a fly swatter underneath the drivers side seat. i read the manual and nissan says to use it incase the wife gives you lip about how fast you're going.

If you look in the back of the owners manual, there is a $10 online coupon for http://www.wife-beaters.com/.

have you seen the homo-edition pink? I heard it comes with a rod poking up in the driver's seat....i guess, it's for both the MEN and the WOMEN drivers, that one...

Why don't you switch the seats around. Problem solved.

You'd have to install them backwards so that the controls are still on the outside.

Well, we'll have to learn how to become ambidextrous won't we?
BTW, it puts the lotion when it's told.

My wife doesn't ride in the Z - I told her the car already has a rev-limiter

If you could get a JDM or UK version passenger seat it, might bolt right it. Maybe you could trade with someone overseas.
