Hi all,

As much as I really like the leather on my new V, I'm looking at getting seat covers to protect the leather. I use the car daily and I'd rather have a cover than risk ruining the seats.

To that end, does anyone know if the 350z seats are the same as the V? Ive found some places that can do custom covers for the z, but none for he v. Or does anyone know someone who stocks/can make the covers?

I'm not looking for leather retrim or anything like that.

Cheers

I have been looking for some for the sedan. but haven't had much luck.

There are some leather type covers that pop up on ebay every now and then, but they want about $500 just for the fronts or rears, which is far more than I intend to spend.

When I get around to it, i will have a look around on USA suppliers. G35 covers should be mostly the same..

I think having covers over leather will not stop them from being damaged - you will probably prevent scratches and scuffs but the cover will still slide around, and may possibly stain, if not good quality

Main thing with leather is keeping it clean and treated regularly. Also avoiding bad habits such as sliding your butt (or back) over stitched edges and wearing pants with sharp studs or zippers etc

Is this to keep the leather nice for the next owner? Seems a shame to cover it up...

Just been really curious about the whole seat covers thing since I arrived in AUS 12 years ago... In the UK generally you only have them to "upgrade" a plastic seat or when you have unmentionalble stains you want to cover up..

I think its more a case of having something nice and keeping it nice while its in your possession, not so much thinking about the next owner

Personally I hate ruining anything with careless use and don't like having broken or damaged stuff that I worked hard for. Getting more cash when it comes to sale time is only a bonus

      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.
