Smile sorry to the people that will probaly get mad....

but it just pisses me off for some reason ha...why do people that buy infiniti's go and take out the seats and make it all to race and stuff..its a quick car but its not really that fast. if u want fast get a nissan 240 and but a rb26det in it. or buy a 350z thats not a luxury car or something.. i just think taking the seats out and putting new ones in kinda kills the whole idea of the car. just my opinion.

most of the ones I know of that put racing seats in are putting down 500-600+Hp... the OEM seats arent gonna support you while hauling @ss around corners with that kind of power.

Hah! The G has lots of nice features, but it isn't a real luxury car... it's barely nicer than a Camry, if not the same to people in Japan...

Leather, MP3 player with input jack with steering wheel controls, USB, heated seats, GPS, bluetooth, and more... are even available in the new Honda Civics.

Sit in a Lexus LS or Benz S Class or Aston Martin, etc... if you want to see what a luxury car is supposed to feel like.

Aftermarket seats usually support up to only 185lbs or so. For safety reasons (like the seat collapsing during an accident due to the unsupported weight of the driver) fat asses aren't helping themselves by getting these seats... and plus, since the better supporting seats are usually narrower, fat asses would f up the seats trying to fit like they were jeans that are 4 sizes smaller.

+1... racing seats arent nearly as wide as the OEM - I didnt get the fat @ss' part of his post

Racing seats are for support not comfort.

Most of the people on this forum with aftermarket racing seats have an aggressive setup and/ or have modded their cars to be show cars. A lot of G drivers also track their cars on the weekends and drive them daily. For these reason, entry level luxury is sacrificed for either performance or show.

Sure the G is luxurious but when it was debut, like the 350z, its was an instant success in the tuner world and I remember first seeing on at HIN City. Also because it's truly a Nissan at heart, it is a 350gt skyline anywhere in the world except North America, and because it was the follow up skyline, the "g35" isn't "as" luxurious as you think.
