GT-R seats in my 370Z!
So I’m halfway there - passenger seat is in, wired, all-way power, all sensors working and no warning lights. Needs a little fabrication work to finish the rails.
This was a lot of work. It’s been tried before but never successfully to my knowledge. LMore pics later but here’s a teaser... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...30eba486cf.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Congratulations and kudos to you I have not seen this successfully done before in our cars. The GTR seats are comfortable and look beefy and large in the 370Z cockpit.

Is this really cost effective when you need custom work to make it fit?
Wouldn't just . . . a Recaro Sportster CS be better and easier, assuming it fits your frame? |
How do the weights compare?

Wow, great job OP. Thanks for the idea.

Weight was never a consideration.
The reason I swapped was to get the all-way power (front/back - up/down - lumbar support- thigh support), and they’re leather. I had manual cloth seats in my base 2017 6MT. My wife could not see over the hood in either seat. She would not drive it. 370Z power seats only go front/back, and can have heaters. The GT-R also has heaters but I’m not connecting them as I store my car over the winter. Plus overall they are more plush and comfortable. Lumbar support is good for my back and thigh support deals with my long legs. Makes the car overall more luxurious and special. They should, seats from a $130k car in a $30k car.....

Would be awesome to submit a full how-to.

I will. I’m doing a number of mods and have to start a build thread so all are in one place

I will indeed. For now I will say:
Most of the info you need is out there. The rails are problematic. I am an electrician by trade you need soldering skills I found the seats for $700 CAD ($500 USD) for the pair Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

How much closer to the roof do the GTR seats put your head? I'm 6'1 with only about 1-1.5" to spare as it is. Great price on the seats!! |
I don’t know yet until rails are finalized. I’m 6’2” so it was a factor. I don’t think it will lessen headroom. The top of the GTR seats seem about the same height as the 370z as do the headrests.
I’ll let you know when I get the car back next week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
