I hate my seat....not because is cloth, but cause id doesnt have good side or lumbar support...any aftermarket seats out there better? I am not looking for a racing seat, just something with better more comfortable support

really...I thought they had the same amount...or atleast I didn't notice any difference...

you could do the 350z/G35 seats swap that is all the rage on here, but it takes some custom fabrication and good luck finding some...

OEM EVO8 Recaro seats with ebay brackets FTW!

I'm getting some Recaros soon.

can't you just adjust it? like pull that lever thing so the seat back pops out a bit...i did that and it's very comfortable.

Hey boondomax...I have an 01 Pearl Max with the light tan leather seats and they aren't the greatest and the drivers side is starting to crack in several spots.. I know this is common with the Maxima seats..I am looking to swap out my two front seats, are the 02-03 seats compatiable with the 01? I don't have heated seats... If so, are the interior colors similar to the 01's for the 02-03's? I will probably get them from a salvage yard if they are similar. Just wondering................

I'm not complaining with my seat(s), t3h bottoms is wedged in enough in the seats that there's little movement when taking corners....kind of like a fatty sport seat :Lolrun:

I not sure if it's a direct bolt on or not.
