Why did you bother getting the leather/alcantara seats, if you are just going to cover them up? To me that is pointless. It is like one of my friends who really wanted a 335i. He saved up his $$ for it, and after purchasing it, bought a beater car for DD. He barely ever used the 335i, b/c he didn't want to put miles on it, or anything to happen to it. Therefore, he was basically paying his car note to drive a beater. Just my opinion.

EDIT: just realized the OP has the cloth seats. You get my point though
Yeah, beat that biitch, you paid for it, might as well use it, and as Frost posted, you're gonna die anyways, LOL


Getting the cloth redone is REALLY easy, they'll most likely just rebuild the foam, and that fabric is cheap as hell, and the shops have 7984389384 kinds of fabric to match usually

sorry to threadjack, but seeing as we're talking about the seat cloth i was wondering if anyone knows of a good cleaning product that does a good job of cleaning the cloth in our Z's. i've tried some armour all cleaner that i've had good luck with in the past, but there seems to be a couple of spots in my Z that have some ground in dust that doesnt seem to go away no matter how much i try with the armor all.

I use a wet rag and most of the stains and discoloration come out with that!

It helps to use real conditioners like Leather Honey that are meant to soak in overnight instead of those sprays that are just treating the surface. Leather Honey really gets into the material and keeps it moist

So this leather honey cleaner works on the cloth base seats as well?

don't worry about it, you can always replace the seats later, make it like a new car.

Have you tried using the rear hatch as your primary method of entry and exit?

manual cloth seats, I just always moved the seat all the way back before getting out when mine was a street car. I do the same thing with the power seats in my Mustang too.

How to keep your driver's seat from wearing
 
Note: this is for cloth seats only. The following procedure does not work on leather, as the coating will not bind to its smooth surface.

1. Thoroughly clean your seat with soap and water. Let dry completely.

2. Mix 1:1 JB Weld, the large package (it makes about 2 cups)

3. Using a tongue depressor or similar instrument, coat seat with the mixture to a depth of about 1/8". You do not need to coat the bolster on the right side, since it gets virtually no wear.

4. You may also want to coat the left-hand seat back. If you do this, lean the seat all the way back to prevent sags in the material.

5. Give the material at least 24 hours to fully set per directions.

Enjoy a seat that will not scuff, wear, or tear, and can be cleaned with a propane torch.

Any suggestions besides ugly car seats?

Got a beautiful set of Katzkins perforated black leather seats. Gorgeous and will outlast me! Even if they don't, I kept the Nissan cloth ones in a box.

Whats your point? Alot of us use the Z only as a pleasure vehicle. I Personally own 6 cars, but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying my Z any less than someone else that uses theirs as a DD.:tup:
