jimmy.farrow7 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Are all leather seats on the 350z electric? Im wanting to change my non electric cloth seats to leather and wondered if i could swap leather seats straight onto my cloth seat rails without being electric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 If you opt to buy Leather 350 seats they will come with their own rails to bolt straight in. You remove your seats with the rails attached. I assume you have 350 cloth and not aftermarket seats fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Problem he'll have is its very unlikely he'll have the loom to adjust them. So when he refits them they'll be in exactly the same position as they were removed, which will probably be too far forward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The wiring is in there, people have swapped from cloth to electric leather before and at least one I know of managed to get the heaters working too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The wiring wasnt there on my pals fairlady when we swapped his cloth seats for leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxrjohn14 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 No wiring on my 2002 JDM either. I swapped to leather and got the seats and heaters working by building my own loom with relays etc as shown on the schematic drawing in the manual.

jimmy.farrow7 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Best thing to do is remove a seat and see if the loom as there, would you cost much to get a sparky to connect them if they are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Id guess on a UK car, it will have the loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly350z Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Then unless you get a sparky to wire you up a loom im afraid you wont be able to change there positioning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.:Bullen:. Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 If you do decide to change I've got a lovely set in the garage for sale 😂 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxrjohn14 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) All i did to get the seats in and change the position was temporarily put 2 wires with spade connectors on from the cigarette lighter. I'm sure everyone has a spare phone charger or something they can cut up. Just take the resistor out and bridge it so you get 12v. The spade connectors​ go to red 12v and green earth on the seat... I will confirm this later by looking at my plug under the seat Edited April 9, 2017 by zxrjohn14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy.farrow7 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 What sort of price could i expect an auto electrician to charge roughly for them to build and fit a loom ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxrjohn14 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Probably £60-£80 ish A friend in our area charges £40 per hour and this loom is only 4 wires really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
