Wow, don't take this wrong but your english (or translator) makes it VERY difficult to understand your communications.
I take it you want to purchase a replacement interior or at least seats for a red interior, an interior which is very rare (I had one) and difficult to come across replacements for as Nissan no longer makes them in any color but black/charcoal. I love my old Z's red interior so I understand wanting to refurbish it, but this may be VERY difficult.
Best bet if wanting OEM (stock) replacement parts is to find a red interior parts car in good shape, which will not be easy if possible at all (again, personal experience with a national search, found only one in California and bought it- but missing some stuff I wanted like seats and door panels and in overall poor shape), and there are very few red interior parts available at Concept Z performance and Z1 (who also carries SOME used parts), and of which you have to inquire with Z1 via phone as they do not list their used parts available due to turnover of parts.
Another and probably the only real option is to purchase a set of replacement skins for the seats from Interior Innovations who carry a very well-rated product which if you have the experience you may be able to install yourself, but if not most likely you would need to take it to an auto upholsterer to have them installed correctly. The other red interior parts again will probably not be easy to find, so repair/refinishing if possible may be your only option, other than buying new black parts from CZP or Z1, and changing things up...and black panels/seats really does not look bad with the red interior if you are able to save much of the red- it makes it all a little less "too red" and balances out nicely. You also can buy the red stitched black skins from Interior Innovations, or buy the red color similar to OEM....and I Think they also can supply a FEW other red pieces such as the console cover and maybe even behind-seat panels and door panel kits. Call/e-mail to find out.
Hope this all makes sense, and good luck with your search!

Can anyone give me a ball park for how much a reupholster on my front 2 seats should cost?

Greatly depends on your area. I've heard people say they had seats done at a custom shop for $200 but I've never gotten a quote from anyone in MY area for less than $500-600 each. And most shops now in my experience are simply installing pre-fab covers, not making them from scratch.
FWIW, I have now successfully stripped down, cleaned up, and recovered 3 cars worth of seats with nice quality covers I've ordered from vendors that specialized in those cars. I just redid my Z's seats from a kit by Interior Innovations with some really great results. Just takes a little time and patience, I used hog-rings the first time but have done the last 2 with zip ties and happier doing them that way.

Agreed, use longer black zip ties to replace hog rings. Do it your self, a little time consuming, but worth it. Took me about 2-3 hours to complete first seat and only about an hour to do the second. A long nose angled needle pliers help. Shops typically charge $80-120/hour just to install.
