Has anyone replaced the front seats in their sedan?

Butt if you want to chip in I can send you my PayPal. Lol.

my Nismos is getting cleaned up and will have the brackets in two weeks
Nice! How much are they going to charge for their brackets?

Not bad! That is a bit cheaper than Bride. Does it include the mount and hardware for the seat belt?

I called them this morning and talked to Jeff. Yes it will have a universal seat belt mount. Turns out they are not creating a new bracket. The q60 coupe bracket's have the same measurements... They will be creating a new SKU on their website for the G37 Sedan, but the part will be the same. I was going have Cipher create me some brackets, they were going use my car to model them. But these seems like a better option now.

Are you talking about Planted Technologies? If so that means that toxic had to pay $100 for someone to drive a G37 sedan to them for a test fit and now they realize that the Q60 coupe seat rails that they already make are the exact same part.

Yes, Planted Technologies. I don't think anyone knew this, until now. I find it hard to believe myself.

preety much yes. I’ve been trying planted brackets from amazon so I could get free shipping back and forth and no hassle returns. But they didn’t have the q60 in stock to try.

I prefer the planted brackets over cypher. Planted have a wider base with enough surface to slide the seat left to right and have a stout seat belt buckle mounting point.

The cipher brackets may be lighter in weight though, judging from the picture of the two. But then again, we are probably talking just a pound or so. I left the owner at cipher a VM to see if they still wanted to create a bracket for our cars. There's may be less of drive to do it now, since Planted has a bracket that will work and Cipher would have to sell X number of brackets to justify making one specific to our cars.

That's not to bad. My Cipher Seats/Brackets project is on hold for now... Looking forward to see how yours turns out.
