There are multiple reasons, but the main one is price. The 250 and 300GT model V35 Skylines came in at the low end of the price spectrum. Cloth seats and minimal interior upgrades keep the cars cheap.
Another reason for cloth seats mimics the tendency for European people to get Bimmers and Mercs with full cloth interiors - cold weather. Cloth seats are definitely warmer in the wintertime, and like I mentioned above, they keep costs down.
Unfortunately, most people in the US possess the mentality that leather=luxury and you can't have one w/out the other. As such, pretty much every "luxury" brand car you buy here comes standard w/leather upholstery.
