Do I have a fluke car?

Desert Rat · 07-20-2016, 03:06 PM

My 2014 is a base model 6 speed car (not touring), but it does have the light grey leather seats and leather inserts on the door panels. I bought used and don't have the original sticker but in all my searching it doesn't seem as though leather is available on the base model.

Fluke, or just a regular factory option? Just curious.

I was told I couldn't add leather on to my base from the factory, had to bu an upper model. Could be dealer installed, or someone tracked down some leather seats and did it themselves - which is what I want to do.

Looking for Persimmon Orange seats and door inserts myself. Was a set for sale on here but the price the guy wanted they were probably stuffed with diamonds or something!

Post some pics. Z34 interiors are pretty straightforward.

I just posted this in another thread but some dealers will customize the base interior to leather and just add to the price but makes them more intriguing to buy to some... I think this is what you have...

Price them new from the dealership, and you might have second thoughts about what the guy was asking. They are very pricey no matter the color.

the previous owner probably changed the them to leather.

A Nissan Fluke? Is that the square one with the funny headlights?

True, but if I wanted to sell my black leather seats and door cards I would only get maybe $500, vs the usually $2000 for the orange.

A true fluke is my '09 that doesn't burn any oil...

Alot of them don't, its just that people don't complain that they're not burning oil.

Do you have a bose headunit? Are the seats leather and synth suede?

Desert Rat · 07-21-2016, 03:29 PM

No Bose unit. Just the Nissan radio (has been replaced). Leather is smooth, not suede.
