it seems that the Recaro Sportster CS are popular and are used in the Nismo 370 and Juke editions.

 

decided to use my old seats i had , recaro sp JJ anniversary edition seats , i love the sportster but i had these and it got away from the typical seat used in r35 , def a great seat to use everyday

Thank you!

 

Let us know what you go with. I’m not that tall and feel I’m sitting pretty high on stock seats as well. Looking rag at alternatives

 

Is there any significant difference in seating feel between the US-spec Nismo seats and the Japanese/Euro carbon fiber ones?

 

Recaro Sportster CS looks great in GTR

 

What do they charge for the NISMO seats? I assume they would fit in a premium with no modifications?

 

I emailed. 27000 usd. No kidding.

 

Recaro Sportsters are the best bet. I paid roughly $1,300 per seat and it retains the factory heated seat function. Awesome seat.

A referb set on eBay for $4800. I definitely could use a seat that is a little wider in the back, the NISMO seat seems a bit over priced at $27K. There is a whole NISMO car for sale here and its only $160K. This would make just the seats about 17% of the cost of the car.

 

Aren't the sportsters even more narrow than OP's stock seats?

OP at 6'5 and with lats stock seats are tough and the black edition are even narrower so you know. Also dangerous with a helmet as it contacts ceiling.

Search google for "widening stock GTR seats" a shop can do it as opposed to taking a prybar to it.

I can't find the original from years ago but found this.

what brackets and rails did you go with?

 

I just ordered pair of Recaro Sportster GTs(new version of CS) from James at Vivid. I also ordered the Planted base and sliders. Should be here sometime next week.

How did they work out for you?

 

I run Recaro CS Sporters with an AMS Seat bracket on driver side and a Planted Technology bracket on passenger seat to get the heights close as possible. I'm 5 foot 10 inches and 195 pounds. The OEM Black edition seats aren't wide enough for my shoulders and back and make me feel pinched on the back rest part of the factory seat. The CS Sportster is Very Comfortable would recommend them for sure.

 

You got weights on these with the brackets ?

Nice look! Where did you get the red inserts? And how much higher is the driver's seat with the AMS bracket than OEM height?

Very beautiful seats and interior
May I ask what roll cage is this ?

 

You got weights on these with the brackets ?

I havent weighed them!!! but my car keeps getting heavier I just upgraded to full ets v band 4 inch exhaust for a certain new turbo kit that should be showing up soon lol! Way heavier than my Old Linney 102

Thanks I had the inserts custom done in red perforated alcantara. I was trying to replicate the nismo seats at the time.

The driver ams seat bracket is fine just slightly lower than oem but the passenger side bracket from ams makes the passenger seat sit higher than the driver side.

I found if you use a planted technology bracket just on passenger side they sit even. If you use two planted brackets they will still be uneven height wise.

Thank you ! Its Buscher racing half cage. I had it welded in with Im pretty sure it was fabricated by Rhese fabrication does a lot of high quality roll bars.
