I've been a car guy since back in the 50s when customs and hot rods were king in California. I just sold a customized 2007 Mustang and really liked the look and customizing options available for the Z car. Bought one in California and had it
shipped to New Mexico where I now live. I'm currently looking for a set of wheels as the ones on my Z have a lot of curb rash. At any rate, I'm in the process of modifying slowly but surely. oh, and yes I did say back in the 50s. i'm 82 years young and still loving modifying cars.

Welcome to the club !
82 years young WOW that’s fantastic :tup:
Don’t know for sure but I think you might be the senior most forum member :tiphat:
Keep on keeping on

Welcome! You can easily pick up a set of sport or Nismo 19” wheels for not much money. They are a direct fit on all versions and year of Z and will look amazing compared to the base 18”. Enjoy the ride!

Factory on the wheels really ain't a bad way to go. If I recall correctly, lighter than many aftermarket options unless you really start spending.

But regardless, have fun with it!

Welcome to the forum. :tup:

Enjoy the ride. :driving:

Anyone who thinking I'm old. Think again. This gent got me beat. Long live the old farts. :tup:

Welcome to the 370Z forums and congratulations. Post some pics if you can and check out some of the forum vendors here to find wheels you may like for sale to replace your base wheels.

Welcome to the forum, keep enjoying! :tiphat:

Thanks to all for the welcome-

I bought and installed a set of 19s' from a sport model. I have a base model and have a chance to purchase a set of electric operated seats. My concern is that my base model (2013) may not have the necessary harness to plug and play with the seats. Anyone have a answer to that concern?

huge news, just went out to the car and looked under my cloth seats. THE power harness is there, and guess what on 2 leads it has 12 VOLTS CONSTANT ON! so fyi, if you need to tap into 12 volts for other stuff right under the seats you can use the harness under your seat if needed.

First picture attached is from under the Touring seat. The plug by my thumb is the main harness that needs to be attached to the harness in the car (under the seat).

The plug by my index finger goes to the seat motor ( this came unplugged but i'm sure it goes there as it fits perfect)

The yellow plug must be the side air bag.

The second attachment shows the harness under the Base cloth seats. You can see I put a voltmeter to it, it has 12volts CONSTANT on!

Third picture I went ahead and plug in the motor harness.

Forth picture is a picture of more harness under the Touring seats, not sure where they are going yet.

As far as I can tell, the power harnes has 4 leads. I assume this powers both the seats and also the heating seats. The owner manual shows a "heat seat relay" behind the cubby hole.

The harness for the heated switch is there under the up holder, look at pictures 4, 5, 6. Both driver side and passenger side have power CONTAST ON. You can use this also for power if you need it in the center arm rest but the wires are very thin so you don't want to draw too much amps!

Now I need to find OEM heated switch in stock so I can wire them in and also need to check if the relay is there. I think it is a matter of only adding the switches and a relay so its all just straight plug and play.

With this info, once I finish my install this weekend or tomorrow night, I will convert this to a DIY.

welcome and enjoy the Z, and have fun ...
