AS far as the rear seats I would go with yeah the only difference is some of the I30's have rear head rests but I still think they will fit. But ON the Benz seat I would go with no but you might get lucky . The floor is shaped differently in every car its all based on the interior design. Some seats might sit farther back or lower higher etc..... But the other thing is which Im sure of is that the benz seat is power and hooking up the power harness wont be too hard but might prove to be one more thing to think about in your trying this mod. Hope this helps

The 4th gen I30 rear seats fit, but I doubt one from a 2000 would. Some have tried fitting front seats from a 5th gen max and they didn't go, I don't really know about the rear though.

I don't even think that its worth while putting the Benz seats in...apart from the obivous possible fitment issues, the wiring is another. The controls for the seats in MBs are on the door panels, so therefore you'd have to remove the door panel as well and find a place to mount them in your maxima. Best bet is to find maxima leather.

Granted the leather in a Benz is something that every car should have. But its not worth finding a place to mount all these buttons for the seat even if you do get the seats in. If you have an idea about where to put the bottons then give it a shot. After all what do you have to loose.

too much issues with benz seats. they are not meant for nissan cars. i30 are okay but it would be better off if you just reclothed the interior or get some after market seats.
