Stock Seats - Power or Manual?

redstarcg · 08-10-2014, 03:10 PM

So as I mentioned in my introduction I am interested in purchasing a nismo but not 100% sold yet. What I am curious about is if the seats are power seats or all manual? I ask because I am looking online and all I see is a bunch of knobs. It looks like its all manual which is a bit disappointing after you pay so much for a sports car.

They're Manual...don't know about the 2015 model though....pretty sure they come manual....

IDK for me the manual works great...gives it more of that sports car feel....Been around Sports Cars since 83' when my dad had bought his first RX-7. But then again everything back then was manual.... even the seats in the Ferrari 308 (Magnum PI Model)....LOL

Ask yourself how much you'll be adjusting your driver seat in your two seated sports car

With manual seats you will never have to replace the motor or switches. The fuse will never blow out.

Anyone know why there's a wire harness under our seat? It's plugged into the seat but I can't figure out what it's for since we don't have power seat.

Maybe Nissan is secretly putting a radio emitter under our seats designed to make us sterile. Time to put on my tin foil hat.

Airbags.

Is that a deal breaker for you? Overall, a Nismo is a Nismo. Also, i would have preferred to see the Nismo Z without all the comforts and shed a few hundred pounds to make her lighter.

That's the pressure sensors to tell if a passenger is in the seat.

Edit: And more! See BeemaaZ's and chops's comments below.
