Widening R32 Gtr Seats?

I bought a pair of R32 GTR seats in excellent condition a few weeks ago, and after sitting in the passenger seat thought they were a great fit. It wasn't until I got home and installed them that I realised that the drivers seat is somehow narrower than the passenger to the point that sitting in them for more than 5 minutes results in pain in my sides and thighs as the bolstering digs into me. I can tell that they're great seats, and despite the fact that I'm sitting on them instead of in them, they still hold me better than my stock GTS-T seats. There's also no problems with ADR approval and the police won't look twice. This is pretty important to me.

I was going to sell them, but after a buyer screwed me around I'm considering modifying them to suit me. Has anyone done this? Is it an easy thing to do, or should I just sell them and try and find something that will fit me comfortably? Will I be compromising the integrity of the seats if I attempt to widen the bolstering by pulling/bending metal railing?

Cheers for any help.

EDIT: Worth noting that the passenger seats are 100% fine. They're a little snug, but I could very easily sit in them for a few hours without any issues. What's up with that? Surely that's not normal, lol.

EDIT2: Not sure if this is the right section, didn't think it belonged in fabrication though. Apologies if it's wrong.

Probably the old owner had a big girlfriend so she has widened the passenger seat automatically and he was obviously a small guy

Can't you just swap the seats over ?

Swap rails then plastics etc or are they definitely 1 sided, honestly not looked that much at mine

Actually she was pretty slim, must have been the owner before them. :P

33 and 34 seats are wider than 32.

Awesome, I'll sell these and lookout for a pair of 33's. Thanks mate!

Will buy drivers seat..

Much easier to sell them as a pair, sorry mate.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
