I've been equivocating over buying a Nismo 370Z Nismo. I love the car, but, at 60, 6'0", and 200 lbs, I'm 'older' and 'larger', and I don't think the Recaro seats will be comfortable in the long term (my much shorter and smaller wife found them uncomfortable after 20 minutes).



What do you think of swapping out the Recaro seats for base seats out of a Sport or Touring? Does anyone happen to know if the frame rails are the same size? Would this be a straight slide-in swap? Would it totally destroy the value of the car when I go to sell it down the line? Do you think there would be any Sport or Touring owners who would be willing to trade their seats (plus some amount of cash) for a pair of Nismo Recaros? How much do you think that would be worth?



Or do I give up on my Nismo obsession and just get a Sport?



Thanks everyone!


Direct swap on all 370Z’s. If you do decide to get the Nismo (which is my preference as well) I have a -5k mile set from a 2014 Nismo that I would trade you plus cash on my end. Lemme know I’m in no rush. Even if you’re not interested go get that Nismo!

Thanks
