Driver Seat Wearing

[Boyce]

Hi all, has any r 35 - Gt r owners had problems with drivers seat wear.

I must say for a vehicle less than 12 months old, less than 6500 kms i am disppointed.

The wear i am experiencing is not normal for this aged vehicle.

Thx for the comment

2 - 3 times per week short trips, my wifes Bmw is 5 years old 33,000 klms & leather is perfect, also my Srt 8 is 2 years 29,000 klms and not a mark on the leather.

As i said im very disappointed.

prior to this Nissan i had 3 350z over 5 years and never a problem.

my 350z had exactly the same issue (seatbelt wearing on the seat), mine was convertible.

nissan said it was perfectly normal and I should expect the seat to look like rubbish after 12 months.

usual nissan "support" and "warranty"

I have forwarded photos to McArthur Nissan and already the service manager has requested how many KLMS hope this is not there attitude as you stated

hi guys its great to see that you got your leather seat issue sorted.

I have a major issue exactly like yours,but NISSAN AUSTRALIA dont want to sort out the problem,so i have spoken to CONSUMER AFFAIRS and they said i have a fantstic case which purely states in the new AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAWS that if the product that one purchases is defective in any way it must be fixed or replaced.So i just wanted to let all know that be careful with the so called LEATHER INTERIOR.

I remember the leather interior in both of my 350z's was terrible. I had the orange in both of them though, so it showed everything. Similar wear and tear to the picture you have attached.

The fix some how reminds me of the roof in the 350z convertible - tears around the wear window due to the electrical cables around it - obvious DESIGN FLAW. Instead of fixing the root cause of the problem (either wrapping or moving the cable so it didnt rub against the roof), Nissan just put a brand new replacement roof on it under warranty but shortly after - the roof just rips again because the cause is not fixed.

Im under the impression the seat issue is either poor quality leather, or poor stitching (if it starts to tear). Unfortunately im assuming the replacement will be exactly the same quality as the first one. So how do we prevent the wear and tear from happening again? Seat covers? Getting in and out of the seat differently (not putting any weight in that area (inconvenience..)

[iwanta34gtr]

Just thinking - Also need to make sure your belt isnt damaging the leather.

I had a mate which had sharp design pieces on his belt and he scratched the f*ck out of the back seat in my W211 E320 (which obviously is meant to be high quality leather too..)

So, so angry.

Sorry for the triple post - just did a quick search and found this, thought it may be of itnerest.

it can be a poor quality leather and some parts of the seats are not leather instead its a vinyl. seats wont be 100% leather but a combination of leather and vinyl.
