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

^^ 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.

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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
