M35 Seating Options

So currently my dilemma is weather to dye my 350z seats (front) and the set of rear leather seats (for full leather conversion) black or the rears the same tan leather/orange as the 350z front seats. The issue i have with going black for the 350z seats is the dark grey rear of seat including handles and storage net. I like the tan orange and suits the car well. Hardest part will be matching the rears to this colour.

I reckon the colour of those seats suits the car very well Josh; just get the rears done to match.

It's a factory colour, not something random, I'll bet a decent trimmer will be able to match the hide.

Has anyone tried swapping the rails over onto stock seats? Assuming the v35/ aftermarket rails are lower? Or is it really the seat profile? I'm after some 350z fabric seats but they are hard to come by at the moment (nz). Thanks

Might be better trying to find V35 Skyline seats? There's was a pair in Sydney for $200 on eBay, doesn't really help when ur in NZ though I guess. I would assume more V35s were cloth as oppose to 350Z which were mainly leather.

One thing I like about my M35 is the leather interior and creature comforts of all electric adjustability and heating in the seats.

Out of the V35, 350Z and R35 seats, do they provide any of these features while adding extra 'bucket seat' style support?

I believe R35 GTR would have seat heaters; but the others may or may not; depending on what options were ticked on the donor vehicle.

R35 GTR seats are heated yes, fully electric adjustable and are very supportive (but i guess this is to expected from something out of a GTR)

To the untrained eye my R35 seats look factory as the leather is a perfect match with my M35 back seats.

The price will vary but you can get them for about $1k for the pair.

They turn up from time to time at various wreckers around the place. Ebay has them on occasion too...

That's surprising... I personally wouldn't pay over $1200 for a pair of GTR seats.

I've seen some come up on these forums a while ago and i picked mine up from a exotic wreckers in Adelaide.

The V35 seats I have in mine are electric and heated (don't have the heat hooked up) V35 & 350z are the same design, V35 seats tend to be cloth or part cloth part leather. I don't think I have seen any 350z seats that weren't leather but a wrecker I spoke to assured me he had a part cloth part leather seat set from a 350z in stock.

The dark V35 cloth matches the grey cloth m35 interior perfectly, and you can get the 350z leather seats in the black, beige and the orange found in M35s.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
