You don't need the stock seats, just solder two pieces of wire to the resistor and use those to plug into the stock harness coming up from the floor. Or, for a more permanent install, cut the harness off of the floor cable and solder the resistor to those wires

So I want to leave my connector attached coming from the floor...you state solder two wires to the resistor and them plug those into the harness coming form the floor...for this type of install:

1. How do the wires soldered to the resistor stay in the holes in the plastic plug ? Jam it in there and tape it ?

2. I am not sure if the plug in the floor is a male or female, have not taken seats out yet...but anyway, is it possible to get the correct plastic plug with two wires coming out of it that will just snap into the connector from the floor and then solder the resistor to to the two wires coming form the other end ? Taking the one from the stock seats is not an option as I am selling them.

I'm a knucklehead ... I know, but any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

I am at the same position as you are, I know that the plugs coming from the floor are male type.

So, because I don't want to cut the plug from the factory seat either, I was looking to buy the similar femal plug that is under our factory seat but I can not found it anywhere?!?

I have not found anything yet ... read about a Nismo Bypass Harness for this back in the 350 days but I think it stopped working in 2007 and can't find the part anywhere. Kind of pricey bypass plugs I have found, at like $70 per side, but I know it is cheaper to make one. I don't understand how to get the two wires that would come out of the floor connector to stay in there.
