I purchased my 350zr about 6 weeks ago and have been experiencing progressively worsening back pain since. This is not an anomaly, this happened once before when I was forced into using my Jeep (terrible seats, bumpy ride) as a daily commuter. I'm a little larger (6'4", 240 lbs.) than your average guy and assume this has something to do with my difficulties.
I love my car and have to find a solution. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you think new seats would help solve? What seats would be a good choice for a large guy?
Sorry for the long post, but my back is killing me!

 

I'm 6'2" and have had my Z for 22 months with never a hint of back problems until I drove it 600 miles to Chicago recently. I later discovered that the seat was not all the way to the floor. I guess the back strain came from trying to see out of the rear view mirror from an elevated position.

 

I'm 6'0" 240lbs and my back did bother me. I got some adjustable lumbar support for my Z and that helped a lot. If you do a search you will find some threads on the subject. The lumbar support I used is used by pilots in their airplane seats, and installs very easily under the seat cover. You can see it here:

Good luck!

 

Thanks for the feedback, someone else mentioned the lumbar support and I think I'll try that route first. Some Recaros would be nice but a $100 lumbar support would be easier to right the check for.

 

you wont fit into any of the buckets and the recaro speeds would probably be too small for you, too ...

 

Are there any seats that could hold a jumbo body? All the sport seats are so tight I can't even get a cheek in them. The Z seats don't accomodate my bottom, legs or shoulders.
Are you aware of any companies that sell "sized" seats?

 

i heard that sometimes they can widen the seats for alittle more room.

 

Have you tried "LazyBoy"?


(Sorry; could not resist).

 

Wonder if the G 35 seats could be installed in the Z?

I'm assuming the G 35 seats are larger.
