Those pics are my car.

I have coupe seats in my sedan. The airbags and everything works just like stock.

I had to do some rewiring because the power harness was not the same but the airbag ones are the same. Some have the same harness and don't need the wiring change.

Yes they can be quite expensive. I was able to find a set local from another member for $500 which was a great deal.

"aka Tim" LOL

looking at tims ride...the coupe seats do not have power recline. Maybe that is for faster access to the back seats in the coupe???

Yes yes. I have this mod done for a long time too. It really is one of the best things I've done to the car.

Physically they both dropped right in w.o. a hitch. Some rewiring was necessary on the passenger side and I also disabled the "auto forward" feature that's not necessary for the sedan. All airbags and seat heaters function as before. Lost were seat memory and motorized recline.

FYI, 350Z seats do not drop in correctly.

06 coupe seats have seat memory and motorized recline, I wonder if it would work in the sedan then?

Some do and some don't depending on the model you got them from. I do miss that feature.

Aw shucks, I found a pair of Z leather seats local for $400 and was gonna do the switch now I guess I cant. I was going to deal with the loss in power seats but it wont drop in, then nevermind!
