Any one tried to get the fancy front Fuga leather seats to fit in a m35?

They are based on the similar Nissan rear wheel drive base, but the mounts are about 5mm shy in each direction.

And then what about the wiring? Anyone have the Fuga seat pinouts so that the heat/cool, and leg rest thing all work?

They are really nice comfy seat, but mostly I am after them for the use of the passenger front seat with the leg rest for my post knee op wife.

Any ideas gratefully received

5mm you should be able to fix with drilling bigger holes or bending or some small "adjustment".

The electrical functions will only plug in if they are options on the M35. Otherwise I guess you can wire them yourself 

Or you could buy a Fuga - the 450 would be pretty nice!

V35 & 350z seats bolt straight up rails and all.

The only thing to consider is the uneven rails on the drivers side due to a bulge in the transmission tunnel.

Electrics you can get to work with some basic wiring skill and the right tools - I wired up the full electronic adjustment on my V35 seats without an issue.

So if it can bolt to your existing rails and you or a friend can wire it in then you can make it fit!

Fitting was easy enough, a couple of drill holes and a couple of spacers and longer bolts on the inner edge.

But the bloody air bag light!

One long ten short.

Any tricks to tricking the car?

I have tried clearing the fault and the diagnostic mode but still have the cell lite.

did you hardwire your seat to the car? strange choice......just head to jaycar or car parts place and buy a plug and socket with the right number of wires.

do you know the airbag is OK in the seat you bought?

if you dont want to use it, a resistor between the 2 wires is the way to go. There are a couple of threads about potential resister sizes, each car is different. If you can't work it out you can buy a variable resistor to find the right size, or I have one you can use if you are in Sydney (your profile doesn't say)

BTW, seats look great

Cheers guys, and no not Sydney! Auckland NZ!

Hardwiring, Yeah it was a quick way to get everything to work. I will be buying proper plugs once I figure out the heating and cooling functions and how to wire in the switches. First thing was to get them to fit by being able to use the seat controls to move the seat forward and back to get to all the bolt holes. A spear battery and leads helped as well.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
