if u look at the seat rail, u will notice that the front is angled so u cant add extra spacers on the front. the seat adjusters have enough range to give you a nice flat ride for ur butt, so no worries.

Yes, they do fit the NISMOs. I have a 2016.

I ordered the bolts and spacers through boltdepot.com

If you want to continue using the plastic caps, you'll want to use these bolts.

15855 Metric JIS hex bolts, Zinc plated class 8.8 steel, 10mm x 1.25mm x 50mm

13733 Spacers, Zinc plated steel, 3/8" x 1" (3/4" O.D.)

Easy install, but I had a friend sit on the seat to help the alignment when dropping bolts back through.

Good luck!
