Dynamic Turtle Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Sorry mate, those "stock" seats are awful in a Nismo, IMHO. Nice colour and all that, but they just don't suit. The Mk1 seats are fantastic on a long journey (2+ hours), the 'stocks' are pretty uncomfortable on longer journeys (my mrs always complained, although I could stick it out a bit longer). You would have been cheaper keeping your black edition and just adding the body kit (although all the suspension goodies would have been lost) As long as your happy, that's all that counts. The Recaros in the Mk2 look the part, but other than track use, possibly, are a fairly cosmetic, more uncomfortable solution. Just my honest opinion, hope you return it to what it was like when you come to move it on. Did you retrofit the heated element?, switches etc? One thing that I initially missed, but not at all now, was the heated seats (no need, obviously with the cloth) The MkI cloth number are comfortable (spent 6 hours a day in them for seven days during the last Eurotrip) but they don't exactly offer much support for track work. They should have simply added a "variable pinch" mechanism for the bolsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like the look and materials of the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) That red interior is awful, Nismo this, Nismo that, Nismo is amazing. Seriously? :| 40th Anniversary edition red interior should have been standard on the Mk1. You pay £6k more, you get £6k less by buying the Nismo!? It looks and feels so much better how it is now, Simon! Enjoy your car! Edited August 23, 2015 by octet@TORQEN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodyboarder81 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 They may well be comfy but shut the front door they are ugly !! The anni ones are 100% better , along with the matching door cards and red stitching throughout , it looks brilliant . Dare I say but actually prefer that interior to the gtr's , sorry Adrian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Are those " nismo" emblems embroidered or stuck on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I agree, big improvement. The original seats were a big dissapointing for me when I got in the car. That looks great sipar. I must admit I was tempted for the roadster but those seats don't have the cooling option, Enjoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodyboarder81 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Embroidered. Phew I was just about to have a melt down !! Still they look very very cheap/crap/ cheap for a nismo branded car . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get a reminder when we were out yesterday that the leather/alcantara isn't ideal for a really hot day, but that's more than compensated for by the pleasure I get from the way they look. Thanks everyone for your positive feedback and cheers again Adrian for sorting the fitting. Much appreciated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Just seen this and for me it's a vast improvement, red white and black, what's not to like? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turboextreme Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I think it looks good but needs Nismo stitched in to the headrest, just my opinion and never liked the mk 1 seats to bland for the top of the range model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
