GRK35L Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 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 .

T4NK Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 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.

GRK35L Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 ^^ 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.

scotty nm35 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Sounds like a good excuse for some Bride rails and seats. On mine the rails were a little loose, sliding back and forth a couple of mm.

bigdr33gtst Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/387294-need-advice-on-v35-drivers-seat/#findComment-6178062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowman Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) 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 http://g35nyc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27865 Edited January 7, 2012 by mellowman Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/387294-need-advice-on-v35-drivers-seat/#findComment-6178554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
_-Nomad-_ Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 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!
