Just stopping by to say hello while I check to see if '13 Rays are worth anything, as I need to get rid of mine that have been sitting in the garage for a while.

Bought these few days ago. Will go into the 09 at some point.

Spent a couple hours cleaning up the driver seat. Wife has a electric facial brush that she doesn’t use, perfect for scrubbing out dirty leather and the middle insert. Current state, I give it about 90% clean and 65-70% for condition (bolster leather worn and small tears).

They will be restored to 100% when I find a trust worthy restorer.

Is that pic before, after or during cleaning?

After. Left side is the driver seat. The passenger side (head support off) is untouched, but was not nearly as dirty as the driver side.

Hard for phone camera to really capture the details. Driver seat was in semi rough shape. Now, it's in tolerable shape. Subjectively speaking.

Was this the set that was in the FS section? I contemplated picking those up, but with all the travel restrictions and what not, I decided I'd just pass.

No, this set was never listed in the forum. It was local sale.

Fcccuking SomOfABeech!!!!!!! Errrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

Wifey not home, garage half empty, so it was a good time to try out the seats...

Only to realize touring seats aren't plug and play specifically to 09-10 base/Nismo. My 09 doesn’t come with the 3rd plug for the seat motor!!!!!! I can't adjust the seating position...pwned

All other researches showed plug and play install, but those are 11 and up base cars that generously come with the extra plug (taped up under the seat, unused). Found a post that a guy suffered same fate previously.

I must’ve offended a god somewhere…bad luck continues

First world problem. A pair of red seats sitting in the garage, I decided to just swap them into wife’s 16 Nismo Tech. She’ll get the red 40th seats, then my 09 can get the Recaros.

Passenger side first, buttoned up beautifully. Power seat works great. Then driver side……fcuking missing/no plug for the power seats!!!!!!!!!

Wtf!?!?!?! Being a tech pkg car, i thought it would have the extra plug….my wife even called it last night “hunny with your luck, something is gonna go wrong…”

The research I did showed that putting power seats in a Nismo is not plug-n-play. There is a thread in the Interior/Exterior section on how to wire in the seat.

I was only referring to power seating adjustment, not the heating functions. I should’ve clarified.

Fast Intentions Twin Turbo 2012 370Z NISMO

This guy had a 12 Nismo, same body style as my 09, touring seat was a direct swap for him (he commented on it in a different thread, he just needed to add switches for the heating to work, all harnesses were there for him).

And on my wife’s 16, it was a direct swap on the passenger side, but not driver side.

A few weeks ago I did my cabin air filter and then shortly after I did the Z1 Hood Struts.

Today I was fooling with my dash cam and the battery died. Went and replaced what looked like the original Nissan battery with an Optima yellow top. In the process of swapping that out, found some other friends must have liked my Z too. So I ended up replacing the cabin air filter again.

Spent a few hours with the Sonax and buffer...it's that time again...

It's looking like a multi-day project to get the paint where I want it before some ceramic goes back on it.

AZ = unforgiving!

Are you speaking of traditional pro type ceramic coat or a spray on from auto parts store?

Put my 2022 expiration decal on the license plate. Seven years now, but still seems like yesterday.

Leadfooted · 03-05-2021, 06:37 PM

Went on the toll road thats seldom used here and did a few pulls to relax and enjoy the Z been a year and change since being on the track and needed a little open road stress relief.
