just went to there site, oh that those are nice. i just hope they have the side impact airbag options or atleast some way to turn those sensors off. And it would be nice to see those in leather corse they do just kinda look like Z stock seats with a different head rest peice. guess you would have to see them in person to really tell.

True, but you can use racing belts along with the stock belts with these and they maintain the Nissan/Nismo look and feel.

These are for the daily-driver that also spends a little time on the track or AutoX'ing. It beats the heck out of putting Recaro or Sparco seats in a daily-driver and being uncomfortable all of the time.

I wouldnt use racing harnesses unless you had a cage, thats just me.

As for the seats, it really depends what TYPE of seat you are referring to. Recaro makes plenty of adjustable seats that are quite comfortable and great for daily driving. Obviously a bucket seat that is not reclineable is not ideal, but there are plenty of other options.

I am currently running R32 Skyline seats in my S13 with a roll cage and a set of black Schroth harnesses, I think its pretty comfortable.. but then again, I have no power steering and enjoy being held in place while driving spirited through the canyons. Not everyone is into that type of stuff.

That isn't exactly a bad thing. If NISMO U.S. rebadged Stillen parts then yes it would be a bad thing.

Lots of companies in various industries buy things from others and rebadge them or incorporate them into other products. What's the big deal? Nissan doesn't make EVERYTHING they sell. There are parts in Zs already that aren't MADE by Nissan. How about the Rays wheels on the Track model. Those aren't made by Nissan. Are they low quality because they aren't Nissan products? You get my drift...

Thought that rebadging deal was a NISMO US phenomenon? Think the Japan-side stuff is mostly handled in-house, except for the wheels which are manufactured by Rays.

That white seat is so fly. Wonder if white will become the new red.

Anyone ever just put in one seat like this??? If you could get a seat without a huge badge on it, seems like all you would really need is one. Screw the passenger.

Guess that would come down to looks, but for the money, it makes a lot of sense. Plus, the passenger would probably want more comfort than these seats would give anyway.
