If I can find one..but it'll be hard to find another recaro like this one for $300. I bought it off craigslist and bought the sliders/bracket. The good thing is that they don't look TOO off.
I used recaro sliders mounted to sparco brackets from a Z. Sliders are universal. I had to use some spacers to raise it up from the bracket because the bottom of the seat is shaped weird (bulges down) so inorder to slide, I had to raise it up a little. Seat still sits lower than I would like, but I'm PRETTY MUCH used to it.

If you're still looking for seats.
I recommend the Recaro Speed (i think it's called Recaro SRD now).
Other race seats are too firm/hard and suck for street driving. I have the Recaro's in my car and I can drive all day and night. It's extremely comfortable.
Bolsters are nice, and the seat really hugs you. best part though has to be how soft the seat is. In my opinion, I would be able to sleep in them easier than in my 05 G35 coupe seats.
They are about $600-700 new each. Without rails, but you can probably find a pair on ebay/craigslist for $800. I had my pair listed up on Craigslist (with evo rails) for $850. In near perfect condition. I removed the ad after sitting in a car with Brides. The brides are nice, but the back felt like resting on a bench. The Recaro Speed/SRD is a lot softer.

Aside from the coupe seats, did Infiniti ever make well bolstered seats? I drove an 05 M45 today and it also seemed to suffer from the 'flat bolster' problem that my sedan seats do.
I love Recaros, but I'd rather see if I can find an Nissan/Infiniti seat that would work so I could retain the seat heaters, power adjustment, and airbags if possible.
However, I do LOVE these.

I bet even more so with your new wheel and paddle shifters.
