Has anyone fitted aftermarket sport seats to their 350GT? i have the velour sets and i am getting sick of being shocked every time i get out of the car, so i am thinking of fitting something else.

Just wondering if anyone has done this and if its possible to keep the electric options, had a look at the manual and it looks to me like the seat cushion part is on top of the motor/rail part so i was hoping i could fit to this and retain the full electric adjustment?

I doubt you'll be able to it: I have changed the seats in a few of my cars now, and in every instance, it has required a change of rails to suit.

Have you considered getting a trimmer to rebuild your seats?? It'll cost similar to a new set, but you can specify the shape/design etc... Got my last set of recaros customised, and they're great....

I an mainly trying to find if the sub frame (part that holds the motors etc) has a flat top that the seat bolts to, without having to dismantle mine, if it has then its no problem for me to fabricate adaptor mounts for a new seat, as if i do need to remove the lot then i will still have to fabricate higher mounts as the sport seats would sit too low, so its will require some work in any case.

As for getting the existing seats rebuilt, here in the UK it would cost considerably more to do that, if i was going that route i could probably get a replacement leather interior for the same price.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
