You're just kidding, right? The seats do have lumbar support (at least the leather ones in the touring model do), complete with an adjustment lever. But it has nothing to do with the rails from the headrest. Unless these guys are mistaking the sensation of the lumbar support for the rails or something.

I don't know if they are confused with that or not. I just threw that one out there just in case.

Big difference between where the headrest is and the lower back, lol.

I feel the same thing on mine, and it does not have the touring package. i just thought it was a nissan thing. so hopefully its not a bad thing, but it is annoying to feel it.

I went by the other Nissan dealer in my town and the cloth seats felt the same to me. Have to say though, I still like the car.

Oh, the salesman told me the engine is the same in the GTR, but without the 2 turbos. Umm, ok yeah right.

I noticed this on my 370... but I also noticed it on the 08 350z they gave me to drive for a day till mine got there. Its not to bad imo unless you really push your head back and try for it.

TerribleONE · 02-02-2009, 12:26 AM

the base i test drove did not seem to have this problem... seems so strange to me

The 350Z's have had this since they installed the active headrests.

chrisdc · 02-04-2009, 08:44 AM

I have the cloth seats and do not have this problem.

Everyone does. You just haven't noticed it yet. Push your head back into the headrest and you will feel the rods poke at you.
