thanks, I know lol will be worth the wait, car is going off the road end of this month for the usual winter jobs n odds n ends, interior and engine bay is the target this winter, so hoping it'll be right for seats arriving, then will get them professionally cleaned etc, will sot ew bolsters if needed on drivers side, and then bolt them in.I've got from JDM distro before & I'm currently waiting on new wheels landing, possibly around the time of your seats! .. It's always a long wait & you forget about them but you get a buzz when you get the email saying your parts have landed! lol .. Well worth it! They look class mate.
That’s the 350z taxed as of tomorrow, took it to get fuel at dinner time and honestly after driving a diesel estate mondeo for 4 months the zed feels like a race car.
Off to ricks garage in 2 weeks to have a coolerworx shifter kit fitted and the seats
Should
Be arriving with jdmdistro mid feb ( although their communication is atrocious)
Hoping to get it a decent clean tomorrow on my 1/2 day and wee run at the weekend

No don’t get me wrong, when I message them via email or fb they get back, but it’s been entirely me contacting looking info, eta even basic info.I've dealt with JDM distro a few times and still waiting on wheels coming, but never found them hard to communicate with. All my business with them was done over DM on Instagram and they're brilliant at replying.
Hoping mine will arrive along with yours. Haven't heard anything yet on when the containers going to land but hopefully they're on the same container! Something to look forward to anyway
How's the engine exhaust note, still LOUD?That’s the 350z taxed as of tomorrow, took it to get fuel at dinner time and honestly after driving a diesel estate mondeo for 4 months the zed feels like a race car.

The oem heater leather electric sliding seats weigh a clean ton compared to the recaros.That looks unreal! What are they like compared to the standard seats? Is there much weight difference?
Do you ever have bother getting through MOT with your decats?
flipping love that mate
when you look at the car it was in page 1 compared to now its unreal
Honeslty I don’t think the impact would be worth the hassle.Matching door card leather with the material in the middle of the seats would suit maybe??
Thanks mate, yeah the seats have been a model I’ve loved since seeing them circa 20yrs ago on imports and always wanted a set.Them seats look awesome, proper JDMness! Love how this looks now, you've done a great job!
We all need another coffee/tea run again lolLooks great Dave! Sure we'll hear you coming, but looking forward to seeing the Zed on the road again
My fav seat although I am biasedBig morning today
The seats arrived 2 weeks ago and quickly got shipped to my house with the custom low slider rails.
Anyone who has ever tried to fit a sliding rail option to a zed for an aftermarket seat always comments how difficult it is to get the seat low and sliding.
Jdmdistro offered a custom low slider rail option from Japan and honeslty it was an oem bolt in style installation.
Sits slightly lower than oem and slider is easy to use.
I’d to create a bypass for the seat airbags which was a resistor setup I seen a guy in the US make.
Got Eddie @300trophy to kindly wetvac the seats and he commented the condition of them etc.
Quick removal, seatbelt clip swap and vacum

With the alcantara wheel, coolerworx kit and now seats it’s a lovely thing to sit in and drive.
For info they are Recaro SR3 Le Mans (or confettis to the car world)
Hoping to get into dubshed and jpccni this year
