If you have fog lights and white face gauges, it's a SE.

The best places for interior would be to search local junk yards on http://www.car-parts.com, or check out one of NICO's dealer sponsors for wholesale pricing zerothread/119692.

Start here. I think from the pics you will find you have a SE, which makes sense with the stock spoiler and 5 spoke wheels.

I would guess installing heated seats would probably mean replacing the whole seat assembly, and unless you find the parts at a junkyard it's going to be $1000+. If you have a lot of stuff you want to replace a junk yard would be a great place to start. You don't want to pay full price for genuine Nissan parts.

Welcome aboard! Are you planning on going to leather heated seats? If you are sticking to cloth, which I do not know if they come heated, why would you want a heater in those?

I would personally just modify your existing seats. They should be pretty easy to pull apart and just add a heater blanket.

There's a little more to it than that, but it wouldn't be hard.

i really dont need it but that a great idea... but where do i take the power from????

[Sentientbydesign]

You should be able to pull directly from the battery. The only drawback is if you forget to turn off the heater.

Can somebody else chime in and help this guy out on where to pull power from?

[davskins97]

There is switched power in the fusebox as long as the amp draw required doesn't cause a problem. Are there switched power spares in the fusebox for this option?

How about that? A company who makes aftermarket heated seat kits!

thanks for the input guys... question though if i use seat covers can i just put these heat pads under the seat cover or should i use an extra pad between the heat pad and the covers.. and which setup of heat pads should i get for my 98 maxima????

[Sentientbydesign]

Don't be lazy. Just install them and be happy!

I would go with one of the ones with the adjustable temperature switch.

start a new thread or better yet. Do a search with the max/I30 forum as the place for your search. You should get a decent amount of hits.
