I bought on of these last year as a Christmas present to myself. I'm actually sitting in it right now as I type this. There are 3 things that I don't like about it.

  1. The plastic piece for the harness straps just above the GTR logo is really hard and not at all comfortable. It's not an issue if you are sitting up straight but if you put the seat back and put your feet up it's right where your head makes contact.
  2. When the seat arrived the holes in the base plate did not line up with the holes in the seat. This was pretty easy to fix put annoying none-the-less.
  3. But most annoying is the fact that the gas for the seat to raise and lower it failed to maintain its height after 3 months. This means that whenever I want to sit in it I have to raise the height and then it will gradually drop down in small increments. This really pisses me off but it would cost me another $80 in postage to send it back to Just Jap.

Would I buy another - probably not. Best to get a proper office chair and get it refurbished in leather and a GTR logo.

I am sitting in one of these right now, and I have had it for around 3 years and its still perfect - Definately one of the best things I have ever bought for my home office.

No problems for me with the plastic harness hole piece either, maybe its my height.

Sewid uses one also and he's had his as long as I have had mine.

Several friends of mine have also bought one after coming over and seeing mine, no complaints from any of them so far.

I do indeed have two of these. One for me and one for my wife. Bought them when they first came out, prior to the GT-R logo of course.

Been good for 3 years, not any complaints about the harness holes from me, I never rest my head there really.

A "proper" office chair can cost upwards of $1k so for $300 this is a bargain. I have $1200 herman miller aero chairs as well and to be honest, for comfort, I'd take the race seat office chair all day.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
