R35 GTR seat?? Please look

Hey guys it's been a long time but finally in the market for a 35 GTR an would just like some opinions on this.

story goes, MY15 R35 with 12,000kms at a dealer, all looks good just can't work out why the seat is so worn? Dealer says possibly larger driver, but I'm just not sold on it can anyone give me any feedback or experience with this...

cheers ?

Ex owner use to wear a belt and every time he got into the car, he would do it lazily and fall back into the bolster then slide down and across into the seat.

Do that 500 times as the car was likely used as a daily to work.

Hey Hadouken thanks for the quick reply.... I guess yeah that could be explanation. 

Anyone else have thoughts or photos of there own seats if there daily driven??

In my option the car has seen more than 12k. The 350z I had, mine wore exactly the same so did my GT's. This is my personal opinion and is not profesional. It is more representative of around the 85k mark. The seats are a very good indicator of how a car has been used.

does anything else suggest it has been wound back.

looks to me like someone just hammer their seat and dosnt know how to get in and out without being a drunk walrus.

Lol I like this and in all honesty I think "drunk walrus" is spot on.....

 

so just an update, I did buy this vehicle, I had it on a hoist and gave it a full once over, this car mechanically has only travelled 12,000kms, an I'm not 100% sure but I dont think it is that easy to "wind the clock back" on these cars, I'm sure you could do it but seeing the vehicle is still under dealer warranty, I wouldn't think a dealer would sell it if it had been wound back. 

 

Could not be happier with this car and after a quick leather detail, you wouldn't even know it was worn ?. 

Update and photos to come later ?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
