JUST A SCRAPE, DIDNT EVEN FEEL IT, BUT THE SUCKER TOOK 5 MINUTES TO STOP BLEEDING-

IMPRESSION-
F'ING WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!!!!!! They hold me in places I didnt even know I had j/k lol. Bolsters are much better How supportive they are cannot even be compared to the stockers. I like the fact they are cloth- being down here in Miami with no AC, that leather was killing me. And best of all, picked em up locally from a friend for $300, w00h00!
SWAP PROCESS-
Sorry guys, but I did my research, the info is here on the org. Very simple. Just swap the z33 seat cushion and seat back using the A32 basket with the Z33 cushion, bolt it and the seatback onto the A32 frame. Im not going to spoon-feed an actual how-to. If you have common sense, and know what I said at the start of this paragraph, you can do it no problem.
I did the pass seat first. Being that I had never done this before, it took me a while because I wasted time removing things I didnt need. In all, pass seat took me about 5 hrs to do. That was last nite. This morning I knew what to do, so the driver side only took me a little over 2 hrs to do. That's INCLUDING time to shampoo the seats.

thank you guys for the comments!
I went to work and back yesterday- 45min drive each way. I must say those seats are super comfortable.
No weird noises, from them. They have the full range of adjustability as the stock seats.
I honestly think this is one of those "MUST DO" mods to the Maxima, up there with y-pipe and suspension.

Leather seat cushions and headrests are chillin in my garage stacked on top of my Mickey Thompsons 
PM me with a reasonable offer and sure. I have no use for them but everything is in mint condition. If you'd want pictures I can get them tomorrow morning
Its def worth it
I must say, on the driver seat, the bolster next to the door, does indeed has some slightly noticeable wear on it. But really the seats are in such like brand-new condition that (at this point) it wouldnt be worth it to re-wrap them. For now Im just getting my money's worth

Yeah, thats how I was at first. But the wear became greater and greater in no time and was a huge eyesore for me. It also drove me nuts having the rear seats in leather, and cloth up front. Now that my 350Z seats are in black leather and so are my rears it just looks so much better and I get alot more compliments on the setup.

looks good man, You pretty much got to do the same process for G35 seats into a maxima as well.. but I got 2 questions
1.How is the seat drop? Is it weird or harder to drive and clutch while being that low? Because the seats are designed for a sporster coupe so does it make anything more difficult? I already like the maximas seats as low as they are, because they are pretty low for a sedan out of the most cars I been in that are sedans. Or is the height somewhat unchanged because you are using the A32 brackets?
2.Armrest... Can you still use your armrest comfortably? I love my armrest and I don't want the hip-huggers to take that away from me, eventhough I love hip-huggers on seats

I have no problem at all with the clutch or the armrest or the shifter. Everything is perfectly fine.
#2-No problem with armrest

NICELY done!! nicely done!! looks clean and im surprised cause the cloths actually blend in with the car!!! IF a person is not familiar with the max's they would think that the seats are with the sports package!!!

Seats' recliners have been readjusted and NOW the install is done (couldnt get around to doing it right due to work n school, but its done). Notice they sit further back now. This provides a longer support for ur legs as now the bottom is longer.
Only thing though. I do sit lower on the seat, lol. But its not THAT low, just enough to notice you're lower down. I actually love it just as it is now. So werd!
you guys gotta do this!
Flava check your PMs :-D

No side airbags on these seats as far as Im aware. I took them apart pretty good and there's nothing but frame and foam on the recliner, lol. And if you were referring to MY car (because i hear that SOME 4th gens out there did come with side airbags), mine didnt have any.

why would you say that? Who are you?
NICE, but seriously, I'm so upset. 1: because nobody else here pointed it out yet (shakes head) 2: because it exists.........
The everything black but on tan carpet has to go asap. Unless it's grey and it's just the pic abd they're faded, but it def. looks tan to me????

LOL! I was waiting for it dont worry.
The car was originally beige cloth. Then I got a hold of a totaled 96 Maxima that had black leather interior... and I took everything... I mean everything except the headliner (that car has a sunroof, mine doesnt) and the carpet (changing carpet is a mission and a half. If I was to do all that work, it would have to be on a brand new spotless carpet, not a purple stock carpet that had more stains than my beige).
