Default Seat help

So I'm starting to get tired of the "NISMO" seats in my car. They sit too high, causing my head to hit the ceiling over bumps, and also they're too big in general for the car, rubbing up against the rear quarter trim and squeaking. They are pretty comfortable other than that though.

I Haven't really found any other Z's where I can test out how their seats feel, so I'm wondering if you guys could help me out on the comfortableness of the different seats.

If it helps, I found the stock s13 seats hurt my back and weren't very comfortable, while the s14 seats were pretty comfortable, but after about 2 hours my back would start to hurt. I'm also 6' 195lbs, with no rear.

I've read up on the Cloth seats not being all that comfortable, but what do most of you think?

Also I've been considering some leather power seats and wiring them up, but are they really worth the extra money? They seem pretty straight forward to wire up too.

Here's a picture too, just because.


Thanks for your help

I think the leather seats in my Z are SUPER comfortable, but I'm also 5'8 125 lbs.

are those authentic nismo seats? never seen those before. anyways, they may sit higher than factory seats due to the rails on your current seats

They're the eBay special I think. Nismo on the pass side is a little crooked. Where are you from? I'd go cash on my part if you really wanted to. It's the rails that cause them to sit high, but I'd rather put in factory seats than get new rails

Sorry man, not looking to get rid of them I'd the heated seats in the winter, and the comfort of the leather.

I'm pretty sure are genuine eBay. A guy at work is buying them, but if he backs out I'll let you guys know. The car came with those and 20's when I bought it.

Picked up some leather power heated seats last weekend for s decent price, and installed them earlier in the week thanks to Burner's DIY thread. I really missed having heated power seats. They're extremely comfortable, I can find the perfect driving position, no more hitting my head on the roof, and they don't rub on the center console and rear quarter trim.

Good to hear you got it worked out, I'm sure that was super annoying.
