Are these seats worthy?

They look factory.

Wow those look SICK for that price. Thanks man.

I'll have to call them though. Some of their pictures have touring seats and they also have a base seat as well. If they can't make a cover for a NISMO then I can't do it.

Houston - there are a number of upholsterers in town. Do a Google search, and then go visit their shops for a quote.

This a project you want a professional to do for you. I've had leather covers in two cars, and you could not tell they weren't OEM. The pros know how to fit them properly.

You've got an expensive car; spend a little more to get the quality it deserves and you expect.

All of this. If you want bucket seats, take a look at OMP. They're very affordable. I would NEVER trust a seat that wasn't made by a company that had at least one FIA certified seat.

Im not exactly sure if OMP seats are good, ive seen pics of Zs that get traked with them so im guessing they are safe and somewhat inexpensive too.

There is a thread with everyone's aftermarket seats if someone can post the link it may give you an idea of what seats are good seats for te z as well as people's thoughts on their seats.

synack why do you want leather seats so bad? they wont hold you as well as the carpet ones. also leather covers on factory seats looks like crap. yea some people on here have done it but you can tell its not OEM, i dont care what anyone says.

also be ready to spend some money on quality seats. the nismo seats arnt horrible, and are prob WAY more comfy than MOST aftermarket seats.

also stop looking at ebay for car stuff... :\

Lol thanks man. I'm just an eBay addict so naturally I look there first.

I just like leather so much more than cloth and the styling of this Nismo's aren't even good. If they even thought of a design to implement on these seats for 2 seconds they could have a decent looking pair, and I would be alright with cloth. But since I'm upgrading, I might as well go all the way or not at all. Still debating between aftermarket seats and reskinning the Nismo's. Thanks for the input.

OMP has major bang for relatively little bucks. They make all kinds of safety gear and seats for some of the top race teams in Europe. Great stuff.

They do look nice! Im thinking either to get those or to replace my 40th red seats. My car is DD.
Sim, I like your eBrake SS handle. What is it and where to get it?

it was a plain chrome cheapo hand brake for a civic.... i bored out the hole so our hand brake shaft is big.... and drilled three holes for set screws to hold it in place and then cut the machined lines to match my knob.... in all honestly... the chrome on it is chipping.... and kinda flaking... im going to make a new hand brake handle outa aluminum and polish it... or i might go with a momo.... a forum member already shotguned my hand brake handle... ill probably just give it to him and he can powdercoat it or full polish it.... idk? ill just tell him he has to pay for shipping... and its his....

simota1 · 02-18-2012, 06:13 AM

one more thing... you have to cut the stock leather on the e brake to expose the metal shaft to make any after market e brake handle work... ok back to the topic....
