M35 Seating Options

[joshm35]

So currently my dilemma is weather to dye my 350z seats (front) and the set of rear leather seats (for full leather conversion) black or the rears the same tan leather/orange as the 350z front seats. The issue i have with going black for the 350z seats is the dark grey rear of seat including handles and storage net. I like the tan orange and suits the car well. Hardest part will be matching the rears to this colour.

I reckon the colour of those seats suits the car very well Josh; just get the rears done to match.

It's a factory colour, not something random, I'll bet a decent trimmer will be able to match the hide.

350z seats

Yeah, that orange is pretty awesome.

Has anyone tried swapping the rails over onto stock seats? Assuming the v35/ aftermarket rails are lower? Or is it really the seat profile? I'm after some 350z fabric seats but they are hard to come by at the moment (nz). Thanks

Might be better trying to find V35 Skyline seats? There's was a pair in Sydney for $200 on eBay, doesn't really help when ur in NZ though I guess. I would assume more V35s were cloth as oppose to 350Z which were mainly leather.

[Reprieve]

A few 350z are being parted out on trademe atm, may be worth asking about the seats

[Reaperblitz]

Already looked on trademe.. only fabric v35 and g35 (not the coupe) so they aren't really any better.

The rails would help drop it but need the butt hugg-iness from semi buckets.

If only there was a bridge between oz and nz ?

One thing I like about my M35 is the leather interior and creature comforts of all electric adjustability and heating in the seats.

Out of the V35, 350Z and R35 seats, do they provide any of these features while adding extra 'bucket seat' style support?

[joshm35]

350z are bucket seat supportive

[Daleo]

I believe R35 GTR would have seat heaters; but the others may or may not; depending on what options were ticked on the donor vehicle.

[joshm35]

Heated seats are useless up here in sunny qld. We need seat coolers

[Beregron]

R35 GTR seats are heated yes, fully electric adjustable and are very supportive (but i guess this is to expected from something out of a GTR)

To the untrained eye my R35 seats look factory as the leather is a perfect match with my M35 back seats.

Sounds like a good option.

What are R35 GTR seats worth?

And where does one find such items for sale?

[Beregron]

The price will vary but you can get them for about $1k for the pair.

They turn up from time to time at various wreckers around the place. Ebay has them on occasion too...

[tony200]

Ones on eBay currently are pretty expensive

[Beregron]

That's surprising... I personally wouldn't pay over $1200 for a pair of GTR seats.

I've seen some come up on these forums a while ago and i picked mine up from a exotic wreckers in Adelaide.

The V35 seats I have in mine are electric and heated (don't have the heat hooked up) V35 & 350z are the same design, V35 seats tend to be cloth or part cloth part leather. I don't think I have seen any 350z seats that weren't leather but a wrecker I spoke to assured me he had a part cloth part leather seat set from a 350z in stock.

The dark V35 cloth matches the grey cloth m35 interior perfectly, and you can get the 350z leather seats in the black, beige and the orange found in M35s.

[Jetwreck]

I'm selling a set of V35 coupe seats atm. No heaters on them but they are in great condition.

just saying

[Reaperblitz]

Pity shipping to nz would probably cost more than the seats
