ok so i came across this thread on G35driver..

http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=199456

and it turns out that in the USA, all G35's that have power seats have the heater elements pre-wired into them!

all you have to do is find the plug under the centre console and plug in the OEM switches and the heaters work

note that this is on the sedan in the above thread

so i was thinking, i wonder if the seat setup is the same for the V35? i know that heated seats were offered on the 70th anniversary V35's

it would be easy for us to simply use fast to see if there are different part numbers for the different seats. if not, and they have the same part number then its probably simply that the seat is the same but usign a different cover for the 70th anniversary seats

i have ordered a set of the switches from the USA but unfortunately i cannot find the said plugs in my car as they are pictured on the sedans in the above thread. i am hoping they are jammed away in a hidden spot somewhere or slightly different for the coupe.

maybe someone else can pull their centre console off to have a look if they have the plugs?

let's hope we have unlocked a nice hidden secret here!

cheers,

Warren

That looks like a great little mod if it works! I would investigate but haven't got my car yet :yes:

i know it sounds great

i am really dissapointed that i couldn't find the splugs under my console now

but i'm hoping skizo clears up the seat issue as if the seat has all the hardware already then its going to be easy to wire up a switch whether its got a connection on the loom or not..

As Chris confirmed that there do has a plug under, I am really thinking order a pair of swith:)

i know, its frustrating that jon's are right in front of your eyes!

even all the pics that i have seen of cars on g35driver they are all very visible, be it coupe or sedan, although its been impossible to find any exposed dash pics on g35driver..

eg this pic, although this car already has the switches as standard: http://g35ipod.com/images/install/25.jpg

i might have another look tomorrow. it seems the correct part of the loom runs down the passenger side of the console. but failing that, i might have to leave it for you in a few weeks time chris..

in th meantime, everyone else go have a lok to see if you have the plugs!

less typing, more searching!

The link you provided is the same one I read only a few days ago. My thoughts were that the seats were a bit of an unknown as in the example used were swapped seats.

Did I miss something?

yeah you are getting confused - there were 2 similar posts about this on g35 driver..

but the crux of this thread was that they found that the loom and heating elements are already there in the STANDARD seats as long as they were the power seats and not the manually operated seats

this is on the sedans anyway, and jons car (also sedan) has the plugs poking you in the face when you look at it

i'm hoping that on the coupe they are tucked away somewhere but to be honest it didn't look like it when i had a brief look earlier today

jon,

if yo get me the switches I'll set it up. in the mean time I'll work yours out. if they are there then you are not swapping seats are you

:laugh:

Hmmmm..heated seats....leather seats....heated seats...leather seats...nah I think I'll have both thanks!

No. but i have one of these...... will it do?

NO!!

they are good for popping airbags. think there are 8 or so on these so I would only use a meter in them. if it is a LED one then that is a different story. still prefer a meter.

jon,

I'm bored so I'm tearing yours to bits.

hey mate,

looks like a sedan?

were they just sitting there or hidden?

Yes its a sedan, and yes they were hidden underneath the black air-con vent that goes to the rear. Had to rip off some tape and pull the wires out, I could feel the plugs though so I knew they were there.

Fingers crossed that this will work. I was so disappointed that my car didn't come with heated seats.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
