Two part question regarding the dealer installed leather option:

1) Does anyone have an idea as to how much this will cost (rough estimate)- We're only talking about two seats, can't be all that much, can it?

2) On the nissan website, under accessories it says for the leather seats: "Enhance your Z®-experience with the luxury of soft, subtle leather. Both beautiful and durable, Nissan Leather Interiors feature exclusive designs and patterns with perfect, factory matched colors. Available in two-tone (shown) and single colors, they're engineered for a custom fit and finish".

It states available in two-tone (shown)- but the picture seems like the burnt orange interior.... how is this two-toned? Could they mean two-toned in the sense of how the black leather seats have orange pin holes? I hope they mean real two-tone as in different colors for the inner and outer parts of the seat- anyone have any feedback on this? Thanks

 

Prices i've seen quoted were $900-$1000

 

thanks Blue..... $900, I could live with that!

 

I'd replace them with a pair of Recaro seats.. There much better and will cost just a bit more.. I had them on my 260Z and they were the best seat I have ever sat in.. I drove from New York to San Franscisco in 2 1/2 days and I never felt better after all those long hours behind the wheel..

2 and a half days?! I thought it took 4 or more?

 

Yup.. 2 1/2 days... I must admit I was only 25 years old and was headed to take the 5 day driving school from Bob Bondurant.. I got a little head start.. There were sections of Route 80 in Iowa, Nebraska and Nevada that just beckoned me to drive fast.. The car just loved it.. By the way, when I picked up the car from the dealer back in 1974, i asked about a break-in period.. He said take it out on the highway and open it up... That's just what I did.. I sold it with over 168,000 mikes on it and never had to do any engine work at all..
