Had no idea there was a Nismo Juke. Nissan’s product development team is a trip.

Oh yes, there was a Nismo Juke and a Nismo Juke RS. Pretty wild, the RS model actually came with true Recaro Sportster CS seats that are better than the half-breeds in the actual Sport Cars (Z & GT-R). Actually in the process of getting these ready to swap into my Z:


Notice the high bolsters on the bottoms here, much different than the V2 370z Nismo Recaros

Those caught my eye - but $3500 used is steep for seats LOL.

I think the money is irrelevant if you can't physically squeeze your hips into those body clamps.

Luckily when I got fat it was longitudinal not transversely, so I still fit in race seats lol.

Seats look cool and all, but I need some nice lumbar for drives to and fro NY. Not fat (yet at least), but I’m lanky and getting old and have tweaked my lower back enough times over the years.

Those Juke seats just don’t look they’d be fun for 3-4 hours at a time. Or maybe I just haven’t sat in good, quality race seats yet?

Best seats I sat in were prob Recaros which I believe were a factory option for the B7 RS4. Man, I’m still enamored by that car.

Theres a black one for sale now, 2008 with 25k miles for $65k. They were sold new at around that price, which, adjusted for inflation, is about $96k. A fact that kinda sorta makes me think a little bit more about it…

@rotarymike - They definitely are not cheap on the used market. I have been looking for a few years, and have seen them listed from $2500-4K in various degrees of condition. I got lucky and found this nearly mint set for $2800, which basically ended up as a wash as I sold my V2 370z Recaros. Of course there's a lot more in expenses to make them work (sliders, Recaro CS Bases, Spacers etc) but I absolutely love the way they look.

@STownSaint - Thankfully my Z is really only for weekends or commuting to the office during the summers, so I can't speak to their long term comfort (I've only put 10k miles on my Nismo in 3 years of ownership). It'd be hard for me to get rid of my Monaco Red Sport seats in the G, they look great and are really comfy. Honestly the only thing I wish the G had was ventilated seats for the summers.
