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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
