Roadster's seats on coupe.

Ron

Hey guys, I don't know about you, but I think the coupe's seats are ugly and kinda fat looking vs the "pointy" sportier look on the roadster's.

So I've been searching info on getting the roadster's seats swapped on to a coupe (nismo), but there's just nothing out there, maybe someone here could shed some light on this. Do you think they will bolt right in? Where could we get them? Do roadster's seats have airbags? if so, will they still work?

Being that aftermarket seats range from 1200-4000 each, plus rails or custom work to get them properly installed I thought maybe this could be a viable alternative.

Like I said, IMO they look better than the coupe's and if they fit and I can get them for a fraction of the cost of recaro/bride/sparco I would be just as happy. Also aftermarket seats tend to be lower and I'm 5'7'' so I can barely see out the car as is lol. Picture this: roadster's power seats reupholstered w/ black leather, red stitching and the nismo logo to match the rest of the interior

I have no idea how much the seats run for since I can't find any for sale (already emailed courtesy parts for a price and part number but I'm expecting a high number). And I know this would only be a smart thing to do if the cost is way less that going aftermarket. Anyway, what do you think?

looks interesting....I think i would like it.

Jordo!

I had no idea they were different... anyone have more pictures of the roadster seats?

I wonder if they are more or less comfortable... heavier or lighter?

Come to think of it, why are they different

looks like the shoulder part extends all the way to the top of the headrest, besides that looks the same to me.

Interesting that they would be different. Hmmmm. I like the roadsters look better. Roadster FTW

But is that particular to the roadster or is it just the way the leather seats are designed? I could swear I've seen pics of the roadster with the same seats...

See -- aren't those the same or am I crazy?



Anyone have pics of the leather seats handy?

I was at a dealer last weekend and it occurred to me. I think all leather seats on the roadster are the same.

That pic above seems like cloth seats, same as in a coupe...soo if the coupe's fit the roadster then it should be the other way around too

Ron

red stitching (that's as far as my ms paint skills go, u get the idea )

Roadster seats have heated and cooled ventilated functions, this leads me to believe they are probably a fair amount heavier than the base cloth seats and a bit heavier that the heated Touring package seats. They look nice though, I wonder if the heated/cooling option would work in a coupe?

Yes, I think hardware is self-contained so they include the fan and heater on the back of the seat. I don't know about the wiring needed to make them work though. Also that hardware can always be removed if its not gonna be used, that should lighten them up. (I honestly couldn't care less about ventilated seats, I just love the way these look)...Now, if I could find a wrecked roadster...

I had to look to see if I had a picture. It has been so long since I have seen it. Here is mine.

I have been watching for a set to come up for sale. I would love to have the cooling feature. I haven't seen any. Buying OEM from a dealership is going to be way more than after market seats.
