Check under or remove your seats and see if there is a cluster of wires under there and then check to see if the plug matches up with the GTR's

i believe that the wiring should be there, may be tucked under the carpet... only way to truly know is to get out there and look

Agreed! 300 is dirt cheap. Buy em. I'll give you 400. You just made a 100 dollar profit. Welcome to the world of business!

Something has to be wrong with them... If not, buy them anyway. You can always flip them for a profit if they don't work for you.

They are stolen.

Let me guess, the guy had crappy pictures of them and is looking to get rid of them quickly and way below market value?

most likely you wont since you have manual seats.. but its actually fairly simple to wire up electronic seats in a vehicle.its like hard wiring a GPS or Pig scanner as for the brackets you can always get a universal set and mount them how ever you need them mounted...

but yes 300 for both gtr seats is outragously low..they stolen?

the wires may be there, i know the homelink wires are tucked up under the headliner even if you dont have the mirror. i dont think they use diff wiring harnesses, they are usually the same and just require plugs for additional power options

Call me a skeptic but the way you say "Some guy" makes me think this is a sketchy deal. Is it a craigslist post? Did the guy offer to meet you under a bridge out of town with the seats?

Anyway if you trust the deal I would do it and figure out the logistics of the install later. As others mentioned you could always sell for a profit if you decide it is to difficult of an install. (sorry this doesn't answer your question, just my 2 cents)

They won't fit anyway. The GTR is much wider than the 350z the brackets are much different. Trust me I've tried. If you're really determined you can get them to fit...maybe.

The guy bought them for his g35, for $900+ sh ipping, they didn't fit, so he tried to take off the cloths on the sides for something, so they just need to be sowed back together, and he wants $300 obo

Who is this 'some guy' is he a local fence? In which case I wouldn't touch them. You could do with more information to make an informed choice. If they are legit then you could sell them straight away and be $200 up for no work. You need photos at least.
