Unfortunately, I tend to carry a lot of cash on me so I had to be creative with where I put it.

Make sure you are not at full extension with your leg when clutch is depressed. Your leg should be slightly bent, not stretching to get it(the clutch) pushed in.
As for wallet one should never carry a wallet in your back pocket. Over time your hips will become crooked and it can create spine problems later.
Make sure your driving comfortabley, not trying to look cool. The car takes care of any dork like appearances you may have.

This is wonderful advice if this is your first manual car. If your short like me I will find that is u have a sport model with no power seats one click up is too close and one click back your stretching out. Play around with the seat closer and as other mentioned no crap in your back pockets and adjusting the lumbar. With all of these things I have no doubt u will find a comfortable seat position. Oh and if no one mentioned it u may need a good chiropractic adjustment to get ya straightened back out. Good luck bro

My biggest grip about the car. I've managed to find my best position, but I had the one click too close, one click too far. I was in between the two positions. Had to choose one and play with the seat angle to get comfortable!

Try one click close then tilt back one click

Make sure you're sitting in the center of the seat. I know it sounds stupid, but I have the habit of sitting slightly to the side and I don't realize it until my back starts to hurt from being awkwardly bent.

I've never had an issue with the seats in both of my Z cars. I like them over most OEM seats. No matter the car, I always remove my wallet. It's super uncomfortable having that thing in there.

Have you been screened for scoliosis? Just a thought.

Default Really guys..... Get real!

We have 3 370z's in our household, each of us are a different height and weight - none of which are overweight. One of the three DO experience the right hip issue so it IS real. We all love these cars so not one of us is ready to give it up but this bolster issue does need to be addressed. Looking for REAL solutions if anyone has them. Considering trying a G37 or G35 seat....

Let me take a guess. Is it the male of the house that has the hip pain while in the z?

I've owned a G35C and for me the seat was more comfortable than the Z's. It had better lumbar support and felt a little narrower, but I do have a slender built. I really don't know if the difference in seats would fix the hip problem though.
