Do I have a fluke car?
 

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...

No, they said it came that way. door panels have matching leather inserts.

I'll post a pic later.

Sounds like you got the best of both.

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

my goddamn car is functioning properly again! Dammit!

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

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

Than it was reupholstered aftermarket, probably by the dealer. So its a regular base, no fluke:tiphat:

I can run up to 5000km without burning much oil if any at all.

between 5-7500 i did notice some burning but nothing intense. maybe about 1/4 the way down on the dip.






in regards to the fluke... possible was aftermarket/after purchase install.

There was a dude willing to do $2500 shipped (to me in TX at least) for a set of both seats and door inserts very recently. Despite the seemingly high price, that was a hell of a deal. The Persimmon seats don't come around often, and they are often fetching nearly that much alone. The door inserts are almost never included :twocents:

Seems unlikely the way the door panels are....

Is there any way to run a vin to see what options come up on the original sticker?

If the door panels are leather and not synth suede, then they are aftermarket. I dont think vin searches are that specific but idk.

Do the seats have heaters?

Fluke does not make cars. They make meters.

Sorry I tried to resist but I just couldn't.

Nope.
