Anyone try G35 Coupe Seats in 5th gen Max?

I was looking at some G35 coupe seats, and they look better than ours. Has anyone sat in the driver/passenger seat of G35 and Max, and can compare the two? I think the side bolsters would be better in the G35.
I am thinking of maybe putting the G35 seats in my Max; has anyone try to do this yet?
I don't think it would be too difficult, seat rails are the same.

Never sat in a 5th gen max but the G/Z seats are MILES ahead of any maxima I've sat in. The actually mechanical installation is not the problem. It's the possible side airbag issues I'd worry about.

my car doesnt come wit side air bags anyway. This could be a hot new mod and a descent substitute for aftermarket leather. More info on if this would work or not. Maybe G35's will come two toned next year and we can grab those

do you mean the electrical harness connection to deploy the airbags, or the location of the airbag in proportion to to car frame/window?

man, now that i think about it, since both the z and g35 coupe are coupes, the seatbacks have to flip forward. i am not even sure the coupe's seats are power recline.

If it is an alternative for aftermarket leather it would'nt be cheap thats for sure.

are they the same as g35 coupe seats?
i was reading about the 2005 g35, and the premium edition coupe comes with upgraded leather and the controls are emedded on the right side of the seat, instead of on the left.

no, i was reading about the g35 sedan, and it said something like: "rear leg room is increased because of hidden (resessed?) seat reails." they are probably different position, but the physical dimentions of the rail may be the same.
i imagine the g35 coupe seats are sportier and offer better support than the sedan. but the fact that they fold forward kinda puts me off. i am going to have to stop by an infitiny dealer, and check out the coupe in person.

aftermarket leather costs around 600-800 + another 200+ for install. I figured we could get both front seats used from a junkyard for around a G? then sell my seats for maybe 100-200?

are those the g35 coupe or sedan seats? i think the coupe seats would be different, with better side bolsters.
also, are z seats the same as g35coupe?

Those are the G35 coupe seats. They basically identical to the 350Z seats except for the Headrests.
