Dracostan Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Are the Recaro seats in the 370Z Nismo a full seat, or are they just Recaro backs on the standard base? From images I have seen it looks to be the second kind: Reason I'd like to know is the standard GT seats are a bit narrow in the base bolsters, making longer journeys a literal pain in the butt! The bolster bars are too high, even when I've wound the seat base as high as it will go, so I'm looking to get new seats. I like the look of the Recaro's and as they are fitted as OEM to the Nismo, means it should be a straight swap - depending on what the base is! Could a Nismo owner / someone in the know let me know Otherwise, anyone fitted these seats? What seat rail/base is available for fitting?

RDON Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 how much would second hand 370z mk2 nismo seats cost roughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) I'm still fine tuning the seats in my MKII Nismo for comfort. However they are FAR more uncomfortable than the stock seats in my old GT spec. The rear part of the base seems far narrower, and less padded giving me a dead leg/bum after a few hours driving. Or perhaps it's just the taller side bolsters on the base digging into my legs. But just look how pretty they are!! Worth the pain all day long how much would second hand 370z mk2 nismo seats cost roughly? Not sure on these seats, but a member picjed up similar ones from a Juke RS I think (?). They were around £1,500 and that was considered a bargain. Edited April 17, 2017 by mattross1313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracostan Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'm of the same stature too... all this is rather disappointing - once again a car designed for small people! I like the look of these Recaros; other makes / styles all seem to have the exaggerated bolsters /supports that are frankly not required for most applications Oh well, thanks for all the replies - I guess I'll keep looking and will just have to get one of these in the mean time !

nissanman312 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Best thing to do is get along to a few places and sit in few seats see what fits you best I guess Edited April 19, 2017 by nissanman312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Icon Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I'm 6'4" and 14st and the Nismo Recaros are very comfortable. I wouldn't want to be any wider in the hips though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracostan Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) The Braum Racing Elite seats look good in the white leather version: but the description does say 'Fits up to 38†waist' - I'd be interested to know how how firm a limit that is, or whether it can accommodate a lardier arse than that, as the base bolsters do look low ! Adrian?? Edited April 19, 2017 by Dracostan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracostan Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 42" waist, but it's more the width of the base bolsters, as the bolster bars on the standard seats dig into my thighs. Presumably the 38" waist thing is for the spacing of the side bolsters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 "Hey Adrian, Sorry for the late response. For ELITE series model, 42 inches will be a bit tight on the waist bolster support area. I would recommend S8 or ADVAN series for anyone with size over 38â€." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracostan Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Cheers for chasing that for us Adrian - bit of a bugger the Elites would be tight for us larger lads! Unfortunately, the S8 and Advan have the high base bolsters that I was trying to avoid and don't come in the white leather option (at least not listed). Guess I'll keep on looking!

Not at all, Ive just bought some for my BMW and they are absolutely gorgeous.

awlp Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Big fan of the CS's. Had them in my Clio 197, one of the nicest seats I've sat in, really supportive and having done a few trips to the ring, and frequent 180 mile motorway runs, never had a problem. I'm always on the lookout for a decent pair for the 370, they hold a high price tag though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
