NEW GTR seats - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

krazyfil · 08-20-2009, 09:14 AM

just wondering.. has anyone sat in them yet? cuz i know nissan dealerships wont even let anyone touch the car let alone sit in the damn thing... i was thinking about buying a pair and getting custom brackets and such for my next 240 if i dont get this audi i want...

i went on nissans website and did the "virtual tour" of the gtr's interior and the seats look comfy as all hell but i have no insiders input... so before i even ask how much the seats would cost i wanna know if they would be worth buying.. thanks

VROOOM · 08-20-2009, 09:45 AM

it would probably be cheaper to buy some Bride or Recaro seats. shit look for some Evo X seats or the RX8 R3 Recaro's. im sure they would be cheaper

doogstein · 08-20-2009, 09:57 AM

my buddies dad has a GTR and got to take a ride in it a couple months ago. the seats are very comfy but their price would probably be astronomical and not worth what nissan would ask. for the money id suggest get some Brides instead.

*exitspeed* · 08-20-2009, 10:34 AM

I understand wanting to put some nice seats in your 240, but these things are going to cost probably $3,000 $4,000. Why not just some Evo seats or something like that?

I just don't get that. It's your money though.

Flicktitty · 08-20-2009, 10:35 AM

there really nice i like them, but imo there gonna be too much money, unless you can find someone who took them out to put buckets in, but i still think you'll be in atleast 2K for a pair.

ranger240 · 08-20-2009, 10:39 AM

if they're anything like the rest of that car, im sure they have a bagillion sensors that will probably have a heart attack when they're detached from whatever chassis GTR they were custom built for.. the airbags will probably explode and nissan will charge you 20 grand to have them reupholstered.

that and they probably weigh 200lbs+ each

new car crap sucks,

not being able to take a wheel off a car without throwing an error code is the wave of the future.. hang on

stick with the options metioned above, r34 gtr seats look similar but are really expensive too.... id get those if youre considering r35s

Daniel. · 08-20-2009, 10:45 AM

If you do decide to get Recaros from an Evo don't get them from a dealer.

Even looking for them on Evo forums might be a bit tough...

Typically though Evo guys are retarded and ask way too much for their seats.

like this guy....

He's quoting dealer prices for his seats. 8k for recaros? fuck that noise. He's only asking 3k, but you can get them brand new from Recaro for $1300 each.

Get IX or VIII seats if you can. Don't get X seats. They have the built in side impact airbags which would be useless to you and are heavier.

Interesting tidbit, some insurance companies have totalled Evo VIII's due to the theft of the seats on rare occasions seeing as how they cost so much to replace...

65 lbs?!

I wonder how much R34 seats weigh. I actually like the R34 seats, but they are uber hard to find now-a-days and when you spot them...they are quite pricey.

like a 240. brand new s13 seats cost around 3500 each. i think im gonna put mine up for sale for 1000 since they have a little wear on em...

drift freaq · 08-20-2009, 12:33 PM

If you are even interested in R35 seats just look at 350Z seats. R34 seats are dope but they are still damn pricey. You can actually pick up 350Z seats for reasonable pricing in comparison . For now I am happy with my R33 seats.

Dang.. 65lbs is pretty heavy for a seat. The S13 seats weigh what?? 40lbs at most?

Not even, they way like 30.

ixfxi · 08-20-2009, 01:47 PM

Factual information

The R35 GTR seats weigh anywhere from 65 to 72 lbs per seat, depending on whether we're talking driver or passenger side.

I have a pair for sale, $4000.00 USD per pair, if you really are interested. They come with full harness and all plastic moldings (with control switches).

Wiring them up to anything other than a GTR will be difficult. Slight chance they will fit a G or Z, but I'm only speculating.

Seats are fairly comfortable, but not as sporty as my R34 GTR seats. R32/R33 seats have always been my favorite in terms of price and comfort, as the R34 seats are fairly stiff. R35 GTR seats cannot be compared to the older generation seats; they're heated, leather & alcantara, have airbags, and are fully motorized. Its like comparing a Cadillac to an Ariel Atom.

its actually around 8-9 but that doesnt include the other parts i mentioned. i wasnt joking when i said that the r35 was the cadillac of seats.

edit: i dont know why you guys are asking the DEALER how much OEM seats cost. some things are not worth buying from the dealer: seats, wiring harnesses, dashboard, motor.......... i mean, even s13 stock garbage seats are like 3000 each new from the dealer.

SexPanda · 08-20-2009, 02:18 PM

hey IXFXI I'll trade you my MY02 WRX seats and throw in a shiney pidgey!

ixfxi · 08-20-2009, 02:42 PM

sorry, dont care for wrx seats. though, i will gladly trade from some BRIDE or RECARDO ***VARIANT*** seats... because i think VARIANT seats are awesome.

i am still waiting for my PM as to how much they would cost shipped to 91505.

variant........

its all about variation, and variating my variant seats.

SexPanda · 08-20-2009, 02:45 PM

ok i'll throw in a shiney pidgey AND a charizard!

BustedS13 · 08-20-2009, 02:47 PM

VARIANT you say?

anybody want to buy a variant dvd of The Hangover?

haha, funny

why has anyone not thrown out s15 seats. or do they have to come from a skyline? i think for OEM seats they rival the r32 or r34 seats. but thats just me. i love mine.

xpertsnowcarver · 08-20-2009, 04:23 PM

^^ S15 Seats. That's what I'm waiting on.. but for $550-650??? Suck my toe... lol

Friend is leaving to J-land next month. Hoping he can ship me a pair or bring them back in parts in his luggage, haha.

g-via · 08-20-2009, 04:45 PM

S15 > R32 GTR ???

I've never sat in a S15 seat

xpertsnowcarver · 08-20-2009, 04:55 PM

I've only sat in a R32 seat briefly, and I'd say its like a S14 seat as far as firmness. Though, it depends greatly on how much it's broken-in. I've sat in a S15 seat as well, but to be honest, I don't recall how it felt.

g-via · 08-20-2009, 05:06 PM

R32 GTS-T seats are the same as S14 seats...if that's what you sat in

GTR seats are much different

ixfxi · 08-20-2009, 05:09 PM

s15 seats are nothing like GTR seats

NOTHING like gtr seats......

GTR seats are better than most, if not all recaros you can buy. this of course, only applies to jdm-sized individuals. (i cant believe i used jdm like that, god im stupid)

xpertsnowcarver · 08-20-2009, 05:13 PM

Maybe I sat in a GTS-T seat then.. Hmm...
