R35 GTR seats in 350z?
 
Has anyone done or heard of anyone doing this swap?

I think they'd look really nice!

I have thought about this as well. I love those seats. I think the issue is finding them as well as not paying a million bucks for them.

I would do this in a heartbeat. How much do they usually go for?

It seems like online the pair goes for 1.5k-2k.

I would love to have a set!

Man that would be awesome haha.

I've been wondering the same thing. I would love a set of the greyish white ones.

Don't do it, the GT-R seats suck. They look good, but they're not at all that supportive for the track and not particularly comfortable for day-to-day use. They also don't sit that low, the bottom cushion shape is kind of weird and sits high.

First of all,is this "wishful thinking"?You have a set available to buy?
Don't think there are many used GTR seats around.New ones would cost
a mint.Have you ever driven a GTR?I have.Don't think the seats would
work in a Z.Furthermore,the GTR rides VERY firm.The seats are quite hard.
OK for a track car,not everyday driving.
All in all,your question is like asking,if you can put a BWW M3 engine in
a Z.Anythings possible.Somehow I don't think you have the bucks to
actually the swap even if the seats were available.

They're actually easy seats to find since most GT-R owners that drive their cars hard hate the stock seats. If the OP is serious, hop on GT-R Life and search the classifieds.

Honestly, you're better off with some good quality aftermarket seats.

The 09-11 GT-R seats are just horrible. Not worth it, trust me.

Thats what I would think as most I have seen at shows have some sort of aftermarket seat. I imagine there would be loads floating around. Unless owners are keeping them incase they want to go back to stock for trade-ins

coming from people that have had "seat-time" in a GTR - thought they would have been pretty sweet seats.

They're awful....spent a lot of time in both driver and passenger seats in R35s, hate them, even the Black Edition seats with the higher bolsters are not that good.

I reckon your money would be better spent by going for a pair of aftermarket seats, i bet those things are really heavy as well.

saywat? 04-26-2013 06:01 PM

nissan coulda atleast put a gtr logo on there lol. they looks like ordinary sport seats to me

You're an arrogant prick let me start by saying that. My question is nothing like asking about swapping a motor from a different car manufacturer, it's about a seat swap :rolleyes: . Something tells me you don't work on cars much.

I found a set on eBay for $1300 which is reasonable. I'm not looking to replace my seats at the moment as I have mint condition 08 leather seats in my 07 HR. I looked for pictures of swaps online and didn't find much.

I know a set of aftermarket seats are attainable for the same price but I like the idea that they're OEM Nissan GTR seats.
