Ventilated Orange Seats question on install
So I have the opportunity to get some orange ventilated seats from a roadster in exchange for my 2003 enthusiast seats( no power)And $275. I've searched but haven't seen any up to date install threads around so my question is how hard is it to swap the seats I know they bolt up fine but the headrests on the roadster seats don't come off and my seats having no power. If anyone has any pictures or past experiences with trying to install these seats in a coupe please let me know

I can really use your help
Okay so I figured it out...
Today I got my burnt orange ventilated seats and went to swap them with my black leather seats in my roadster...ran into the same problem Ed had...no tilt on the passneger seat. I switched and played with a ton of different scenarios before finally figuring it out. I looked on this forum and others for help but found none and I am pretty experienced with this kindof stuff and with electrical. I don't know if nissan did it on purpose, but inside the seat there is a wire harness with four wires that are transposed cuasing the problem. I traced everything and checked everything before finding it. I took apart the harness, switched around the wires and it worked like a charm and I was very happy. I am confident now that I could wire the ventilated seats to fit any Z with power seats...it can be done. If anyone needs help let me know.
