The seating position will be different from those seats to the stock I30 seats. I will try to take some photos later this weekend when I get home. Please email me if you have more questions.

Sy: Is the driving position lower than with the "normal" seats, or would it be higher? the problem I find with stock Maxima seats are they don't go low enough.
Had a chance to rent Q45 last week and I love the Q's seat so much. It could go pretty darn low and it was giving me enough lateral support as well.

Is there any way SYCEFIRO you could take pics of where you had to modify? If not thats cool I know i will have no problem doing it.

Perhaps the summary of my installation may help? The way I installed it (as well as the other member whom put in the 350Z seats into his 4th Gen). Start with the passenger side seating>
1. Take the I30 seats out from the car to the livingroom
2. Take off headrest.
3. Take out the plastic panels around the powerseat (few screws)
4. Disconnect the harness btwn back cushion & lower cushion
5. Take off the back panel of the stock I30 seats
6. You will be able to access to the bolts/nuts that holds the stock back cushion in. If you have side airbags, be careful and go to the bottom and un-hook what's holding the harness for SRS side airbags, heated seats and power seats, etc.
7. After losening the nuts and bolts (I believe 2 on each side = total 4?), you should be able to slide the stock seat cushion out where it supports your back.
8. Then you will have to go do the same thing, carefully disassemble the lower portion of the cushion from the seat pan.
9. Now you have a clear view of where and how the stock OEM seats were assembled and remember how you disassmbled it.
Take a look at your 350Z/G35 Seats
And start from the back for the cushion by unzipping the leather/clothes off the rear of the seat cushions. You can access to the nuts/bolts that holds it to the stock 350z/G35 seats. Do the same thing by taking the top cushion off first, and then disassemble the bottom cushion.
Once you have them apart (I did NOT use the stock G35 power switches)> I zip-tight the leather gap. Now you have to test fit the top cushion to the BAREBONE of the Stock OEM I30 seat pan and the metal support. You will see where you may have to screw the new bolts or drill new holes to hold the bolts and nuts to have it mounted securely.
On the bottom cushion, it's similar as putting the aftermarket leather onto the car, and use the stock seat pan to connect with the leather... if you have disassembled 'em, you will see there were alot of "O" rings that connnects them> I used them as well as putting zip-tides strings to fasten the two pieces together. Also I have put in some extra foams below the G35 coupe seats to make the seats firmer and more supportive to my butt.
Email me if you run into any problem. Maybe I can explain to you how to get it done?

Anyway, YES.. the Side Airbag plugs right in and will work. But I took 'em out, because there aren't any side airbags available on the 96 I30t's....
The heated seat harness plugs right in too, and they do work.

Maybe A32 seats. Other than that, probably nothing.

As far a getting a "new" entire seat, your looking at junk yards. Or, you could put after market leather on which is what I did. Either way look at $500-$600 to replace both front seats.
