What's with these seats?
 
Love my new Z and I have upgraded the suspension..wheels and tires since I got it. Damn..I love this car, but when I try to take it to the limits cornering, I can't stay in the F$#%N seat!:icon9: No bolstering at all. You would think Nissan would have put somemting more substantial in a car that handles so well.
What have some of you guys done? I really don't wanna swap these leather seats..but I'm sure that's what ya'll are gonna tell me to do.:icon17:

Stock cloth seats hold me fine. I'm guessing the leather allows you to slide.

Have you tried using the seat belts in combination with the seat bolsters??

True..but I'm being thrown up against the door when I'm pulling close to 1G...this is on big sweepers with decreasing radius at the limit..my rear tires (new Zeon rs3-s 275/40/18 ultra summer tires) are screaming at this point:)

I've autocrossed and tracked the car with the stock leather seats - no problems at all. Do the belt-twist trick or get a CG-lock.

I had that same issue which is why I went with these:

That's exactly what I had in my Porsche 944T when I tracked it.

Or at least an option, kinda like how the Neon SRT 4 had two seat options. You'll limit the crowd of people how'd buy a Z based on seats alone. Fat guy + bolstered seats = a work out getting out.

What exactly is this belt twist trick..? I've never heard of that one.

PerfZ Oct 17, 2011 10:44 AM
There is a reason the stock Track model did not come with leather seats. My cloth ones hold my a$$ just fine, although I am on the slender side to say the least, lol. Try a piece of that rubbery weave stuff your wife/gf puts in kitchen cabinets between your butt and the seat. I know some folks who swear by it.

User 42426 Oct 17, 2011 07:32 PM

why not just pull the seat belt all the way and let it retract, and it locks. you won't be going ANYWHERE then
