My2012 New Recaro's

[rehab2010]

This is it!!!!! Apparently it will be a standard seat in the Oz bound model.

[Beer Baron]

nice. they looks pretty cool.

[domino_z]

apart from the logo, is the backrest any different?

i think i prefer the suede/cloth inserts though - ive gotten used to them now after owning euro cars with nappa leather

what i really want is the white seat option

[Angelus]

DO WANT. Mmmm.

[VSPECT]

NICE!! they look great in the car...finally proper seat belts in theese kinda cars...

[rehab2010]

Here is the comparison between the outgoing R35.1 and the new R35.2 seats(I presume this will be called Series II officially) - side bolsters on the Recaro's are clearly larger.

PS: apparently in the UK they will also be getting the so called Black edition as an only variant available, and they will have an option to select these Recaro's as a no-cost option, or they can stick with the normal updated seats that actually have the suede inserts.

Let's wait and see what Nissan Aust decides to bring here.

very very sexy.... oh yeah

Not sure they are actually different in the side bolsters, ignore the red pretty bits and the badge then compare

They look great.

But at 30kg each, the first thing you do if you are serious about lap times is ditch them.

I completely agree - they are still mega bulky and mega heavy. What the GT-R should come with is something like a GT3's seats, carbonfibre backed ones, or something like what RX-7 RZ had too. Maybe they'll offer SpecV's seats as an option, but I'm sure a great pair of aftermarket seats would still be a value for money.

It's slightly disappointing when cars like a little Renault RS250 Cup have more appealing seats then the GT-R.

or get a sparco V seat for $450 (granted, not as sexy, but do the job, and ditch the weight)

(I hear tose Spec-V seats ar something like $50k a pair)

i always wanted to put tan sparco milano's in my 350 back in the day, but was put off by the need to get them engineered, losing side airbags, and insurance issues

race seats are good for race cars

the oem gtr seats are good enough for a daily driver

had vaders on my R32 Golf and they were overkill for the street, too hard to get in and out of without crushing the crap out of the bolster

the specv has the gt3 style seat since its a gt3 style car. the stock gtr has a normal sport seat like a stock 911, and i (and the gf) enjoyed the seat heating through winter

that's true. race seats for a car driven mostly on the street is a waste of time.
