Hi all,

I desperately need some help.

I have a problem with my drivers seat, the seat is quite loose and I believe the seat rails have either broken away from the car or the seat itself.

I am trying to track down a solution to this problem . I have located a replacement drivers seat however the seat is a cloth sided one while mine is leather sided. Soo...

If this is my only option could I swap the rails over from the new seat to my old one?

If the first doesn't work are the coupe / sedan seats and rails interchangeable ?

Any advice would be appreciated.

BTW I have a V35 350GT8 sedan premium edition

And live in NSW just north of Sydney .

Thanks

Find out whats 100% wring with it first before u do anything, might just be loose and needs some bolts done up, take the seat out or take it to someone that can look at it for you.

^^ I had contemplated this however my mechanic is pretty sure from looking at it in the car it is a problem with the rails , however advised me to source a new seat or rails first because he feels if we take it out of the car we could well and truly stuff the rails and I will not have a car to drive then.

on my coupe the height adgustment rod snapped, i just got it welded. the seat comes out real easy, just 4 bolts, and a few clip plugs, you can get it out in 5 mins, take it out and have a look for a break.

This sounds like this may be the case as my seat rocks back and forth , all the electrics still work but whatever position you put the seat in it rocks

if your going to take the seat out make sure you disconnect the battery as i recall there being an issue with the airbag light coming on and staying on once the wires are unplugged.

should be some forum topics on G35 driver about it.

Check out this link of removing the front seats

I found this thread today while looking for solutions to my "electric seat switches on passenger side do not work anymore", and when I did a google search I found a video that was uploaded literally 10 minutes ago and it's exactly what you were looking for, just 10 years late, hope it helps!

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
