Nismo seats
 

Is it just me or do our seats suck...I mean if you sit down and push your head back on the headrest you can feel something like cardboard pushing on your back. Just wondering if ours is the same in the other models...regardless who should i go for for an upgrade?

That thing pushing into your back is a design feature so if you get rear ended it will push your body into a better position to reduce injury.
Actually I really like the seats, compared to other cars in our price range these hold me in very well, do not really pinch or cause pain on long trips, and overall are well built.

Funny post..

I too wondered what that thing was :)

Seats seem super light though, not sure if that's the case but when I slide them back and forth they feel like they weigh next to nothing. Anyone know how they compare to touring seats, just curious...

I've sat in the Nismo which have pretty cool seats. I really enjoy my touring seats ... They are comfortable and look awesome with the leather/suede while keeping the sporty design. You may not fit as tight in them as the Nismo seats or aftermarket bucket seats but, they still maintain a snug fit overall. On long trips they actually give you the comfort you need for going the distance. One of the perks I like are the seat warmers on those cold mornings on the way to work. No complaints here about the touring seats. Pretty Happy with them :tup:

Check it out, that is what your feeling in your back.

That cardboard feeling will save your cervical spine when your car gets rear ended. :tiphat:

As for seats, I find them comfortable, lightweight.

glad it's for safety...I had my brother sit in it and he thought something was broken or bent inside, guess we were both wrong.....but i still want something better

Just for info:
Procedures for rating seat/head restraints

I got good reviews from my instructors at the track this weekend and I feel the seats held me pretty well once I was upright and all the way back.

I really like the Nismo seats, very comfortable. But you should probably sit in another nismo to make sure your seat has the same feel. Who knows right?

I found myself leaning towards the middle of the car initially. Once I got out of that habit and sat up straight and centered in the seat it was great. I'm tall so when I sit properly my head just about touches the ceiling, especially since it starts to slope down towards the door. With a helmet on I had to slouch a little, but I was still all the way in the seat and not constantly pressing on the roof.

the stock seats seem like Nissan Sentra Spec V hand me downs. I got rid of them.

Down the road I will be getting new seats, but these are great now. Biggest issue I have with them is how far off the floor they are. If I sit in them properly my head (or at least my hair, lol) rubs. With a helmet on I get a little hunchback goin.

how tall are you?

6'2 ish

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 :driving:

do any of yall think the stock seat rails could be fudged with so the seat could go lower? as in cutting new holes for the seats mounting location...

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.

anyone SELLING THERE NISMO SEATS?????
