Interior swap?

Is there another year or model of nissan that I could swap interiors(mainly seats, possibly carpet) for my 3rd gen. I realize that I could use Infinity stuff, but I was especially wondering if anyone has swapped interior from a later 4th or 5th gen Max. All suggestions accepted, even the ones that claim I am an idiot.

swapping would seem like an unneeded hassle, unless your interior is that bad.. I mean, the seats, dashboard, the fabric on the ceiling, the back dashboard.... have to make it all match, or unless I am just too picky

I'd like to aquire an all black dash from a 3rd gen, but I don't want to spend the time changing *everything*

Let me rephrase

What I meant by interior was the seats. Sorry for being so non-specific, but that's what I meant. So, to re-ask the question, are there any seats from later model nissans(infinity) that will fit right in, so that maybe I could find some used ones on ebay or at the j-yard. The reason for "later" model seats is because I like the way they look, and if they fit, it will give me a lot more options for replacing my seats. And if it seems like I am still trying to go through a lot of trouble for nothing, that is because I am short on cash and always looking for a way to save some moo-lah. Thanks.

there are no other seats that will simply bolt in, but I've seen 300ZX seats in a 3rd gen sometime, somewhere... heard it was a complete custom job though.. required new brackets and a whole mess of stuff.

yeah, but the drivers seat wasnt in the best shape, but it was still really cool.
Also with the interior, basically only other 3rd gen interiors will work.

(Matt, almost everything is on my car is stock, except the carpet )
