Crazy idea: swap Nismo Recaro seats for Sport?

In my opinion, I don't think the Nismo is what you want. It's not just a question of the seats. It also has a firmer race-tuned suspension and wider wheels

You sound like you'd be happier with a sport Z. I don't believe in swapping out seats in a brand new car. This would probably void your warranty as far as seat airbags and other seat related issues are concerned. Just buy the version with the most comfortable seats and be done with it.

Agreeing with Cyber. If comfort is an issue, even regular seats in the Nismo would be a rough time. I never thought the sport seats were that comfy to begin with.

Now, assuming you get a Nismo, you could pick up leather touring seats for about $600 used if you catch a pair for sale and save the Nismo seats for resale. (I have a black leather touring driver's seat just sitting in my room)
