Hi all, has any r 35 - Gt r owners had problems with drivers seat wear.

I must say for a vehicle less than 12 months old, less than 6500 kms i am disppointed.

The wear i am experiencing is not normal for this aged vehicle.

Is the car only drivin in really short distances? Like your geting in and out of it alot, that wear dose look really bad aye

Thx for the comment

2 - 3 times per week short trips, my wifes Bmw is 5 years old 33,000 klms & leather is perfect, also my Srt 8 is 2 years 29,000 klms and not a mark on the leather.

As i said im very disappointed.

prior to this Nissan i had 3 350z over 5 years and never a problem.

my 350z had exactly the same issue (seatbelt wearing on the seat), mine was convertible.

nissan said it was perfectly normal and I should expect the seat to look like rubbish after 12 months.

usual nissan "support" and "warranty"

Thanks Nissan

hi guys its great to see that you got your leather seat issue sorted.

I have a major issue exactly like yours,but NISSAN AUSTRALIA dont want to sort out the problem,so i have spoken to CONSUMER AFFAIRS and they said i have a fantstic case which purely states in the new AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAWS that if the product that one purchases is defective in any way it must be fixed or replaced.So i just wanted to let all know that be careful with the so called LEATHER INTERIOR.

  • 2 weeks later...

I remember the leather interior in both of my 350z's was terrible. I had the orange in both of them though, so it showed everything. Similar wear and tear to the picture you have attached.

The fix some how reminds me of the roof in the 350z convertible - tears around the wear window due to the electrical cables around it - obvious DESIGN FLAW. Instead of fixing the root cause of the problem (either wrapping or moving the cable so it didnt rub against the roof), Nissan just put a brand new replacement roof on it under warranty but shortly after - the roof just rips again because the cause is not fixed.

Im under the impression the seat issue is either poor quality leather, or poor stitching (if it starts to tear). Unfortunately im assuming the replacement will be exactly the same quality as the first one. So how do we prevent the wear and tear from happening again? Seat covers? Getting in and out of the seat differently (not putting any weight in that area (inconvenience..)

Just thinking - Also need to make sure your belt isnt damaging the leather.

I had a mate which had sharp design pieces on his belt and he scratched the f*ck out of the back seat in my W211 E320 (which obviously is meant to be high quality leather too..)

So, so angry.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
