I've heard this a lot from tall people racing, saying they can't put a helmet on in the 350 or 370. Had a tall guy sit in my car with the lomax bride seats to see if he needed to get them to fit a helmet, he still didn't fit.

I fit and didn't feel uncomfortable, but I know I wasn't in the most ideal position. Wasn't back all the way at my butt and shoulders.

I spent a good 20mins this-morning setting up my seat (position, twist nobs, etc) on my Nismo. Sitting up Straight, properly, and leaning back into the seat, with my legs together seems ... tight. I was flying around City Park Road in Austin and never moved from my seat.

I read in the manually that you do not want to lean forward, due to the air bags... Besides, I kind of like the way the headrest pushes back. It's a reminder that I need to be snug in my seat.

Now I understand why the nismo seats are Cloth

you could just fix mount the seats and get rid of the rails completely.

Anybody put seat heaters in the stock NISMO seats? Anybody replace the Seats for comfort...Not performance? I LOVE the look of the car...But I'm not going to buy one to just look at it.

There is also airbags in the seats FYI. So replacing seats you loose additional safety as well.
