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.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
