Anyone having a problem with their driver seat moving around with aggressive driving?

I have just started to get annoyed again with this problem. It seemed to go away for awhile and now it's back even worse. I can't believe this thread is

The problem is that the adjuster (for lack of a better term) rod comes loose from the seat frame in the front corner nearest the shifter. Nissan just used one of the one way push on washers that is supposed to "lock" onto the adjuster shaft. Well it does not work well.

What I had to do on the 350Z was take the seat out. Push on the shaft just a little bit and drill a hole through it. I then put a cotter pin through the hole. Never had the problem again, and my car saw some very aggressive driving on the AutoX course.

This seems like something the dealership should take care of under warranty -- possible TSB?

BTW: The passenger seat doesn't budge at all!!

Thanks!!
I have this problem too, only in my driver seat, and I have the NISMO model. I can bounce up and down in the driver seat and it squeaks, not even while driving! Had my friend look at it, said everything is tight.... hmm.

I just bought my '10 and it has this issue...it doesn't list '10's as having this issue but I'll be taking it back to have them perform this TSB.


Anyone else with a '10 having this issue?

Yea, my 350 did that too. Then I let Sammy drive it and the entire adjuster rod popped out of place, I pinned the rod and never had the problem again.

I have the Base (recovered with leather Katzkins) and never had the problem. Interesting, though that my '08 Altima Coupe does suffer from the notorious Nissan Seat Click problem.
I recall that there was a long thread on this a few months ago showing pictures of the fix in progress. It's quite a bit of surgery to eliminate the problem and I decided not to get into it on my Altima. I think someone said there was a TSB dealing with it.

Awesome!

Hasn't been an issue yet, but nice to have the TSB on hand if it starts

Sorry, I didn't read through the whole thread but I'm basically looking to upgrade my seats to NISMO seats and I'm curious to see if any NISMO Z owners have had trouble with them during track days.

I drift my Z and my current seats are fine but I love the way that etched NISMO looks..

1hot370, I know you mentioned that you own a NISMO Z. I have yet to test drive one at Nissan but are the seats semi-bucket? How well do they hold you in place when driving aggressively?

I have an 09 I bought with 18,000 mile on it and when driving aggressively the drivers seat clunks or shifts from time to time....it's very annoying. What to do?
It is the sport/touring options
