Where the heck did you find the rails for the Z, I looked all over and just can't find it.....HELP ME I AM A POOR AND WEARY SOUL

Thanks

. BRIDE USA used my car to see if the JDM BRIDE rails fit on the USDM Z, which they do. Right now there have only been two sets brought to the US, one was sold, and the other I have here with me waiting to be sold

The wires connect to the seat with plugs which obviously need to be un-plugged to remove the seat. The aftermarket seat won't have the motor or heaters or stuff like that so you won't be plugging them back in to anything. You can just leave them there or completely remove them, which would be a pain in the ***. As for the Vios III and any other seat, everyone is shaped differently and has their own idea of comfort so really you just have to sit in a few different seats yourself to be positive you like the way they feel.

Guys, I've found another lightweight seat option for the Z! The name of the company is Buddy club. They made racing seats for the 350z and have the ones for the 370z. They are a U.S. motorsport organization, so they are based in California. They seats are very light (according to the site, the seats weigh around 5 kg (12 lbs) each). They were designed for safety, lightness, and comfort. Unfortunately, for all you people who want a fully comfortable racing seat, this is a fixed bucket seat, so no reclining. Buddy club is not as popular or respected as Bride, Sparco, or Recaro, but I think the seats are really good. Very light...Carbon Fibre or FRP (Fiber reinforced plastic). Carbon Fibre seats costs $900 each, but the FRP only costs $500 dollars each. Here's the site..

Go to products, then racing seats..

The site shows the rails for the 350z, but they are advertising the seat for the 370z, so I think they have the rails. Correct me if I'm wrong...
