Does anyone have information on the final configuration of the new driver's seat? Specifically, the current coupe seat is too narrow for my size 34 rear end. I feel like I am sitting on the side bolsters.

Because the air bag is in the side of the factory seat, I am unwilling to replace it with an aftermarket seat.

Any word?

Pretty common gripe among coupe owners. The biggest improvement, IMO, will be the relocation of the seat controls. That would give another 1.5" of cushion play, which will solve the problem for most.

As for the seat width, aside from the benefit from moving the controls, I don't think the new coupe's seats could be more than an inch wider than the current ones, if that.

I'd kind of like to know if the rear of the bottom cushion will move independently from the back cushion. That would allow a lot of people to fine-tune the lumbar region for a better fit. Current coupe tilts entire assembly, keeping back-to-lower-cushion the same in relation to each other.

 

You can always take the seat to an auto/marine upholstery shop and have them reduce the foam, etc. They can do some amazing things if you find a really good shop in your area.

That may help you without sacrificing the seat and it's safety features for an aftermarket setup.

 

i have a size 36 waist... i have no problem with the seats... partially because i am asian and my asian brothers designed the car for my asian frame... god its good to be asian hahah

 

And on that Asian note...for all you tall Anglos out there...there's a seat mod to lower it further than the stock setting permits so your head isn't banging the headliner

 

Haha ! Worth a shot. What do u hav to lose...besides the pounds !

 

Man I didn't think a size 34 was that big.

 

where is that??

 

something to do with an adjustment bolt/nut that's factory set. I was reading awhile back that some have turned the setting and got another
1/2 -3/4 of an inch. Info is out there/search should help

 

Other than the stero system, the narrow seat/bolsters was my biggest problem with the coupe. I could live with the stero, but the seats pretty much make it a no go for my wide 38 inches. The 2006 sedan seat was huge even with the seat controls, so I'm not sure why the coupe is so small. I wonder what size *** it was designed for? Pretty sure it wasn't for us fat Americans. I undersand that if the seat is made too wide then it won't provide the necessary support. Maybe they sound have a bolster control as well?

Does anyone know for sure if this change is going to happen on the 2007 coupe? I assume it's likely since they made the change to the FX and then to the Sedan, but any hard proof would be welcome.

 

I have a 34 inches waist and Its a good fit for me...

I think you are cheating us...you are bigger but too shy to tell!! LOLOLOL

 

I found it, I found it. Here is the link on how to adjust the seat height. Thank god becuase I am 6'1'' and my hair brushes the headliner. I can't wait to get my G back

Just give it time to break in! With the crappy leather (vinyl on bolsters) that Infiniti uses, they will losen up in no time!

 

^ Sounds like the best idea so far...
