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.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
