I know that the fitment is universal, so i will prob need to fab some stuff up. Has anyone installed racing seats on a 5th gen and could give me any advice? Thanks

You have to decide whether or not you want an Adjustable seat or if you want to just tack it in place. Either way I'd go with Sparco mounting brackets, or a Seat Track if you want to be able to move the seat forwards and backwards. I'm guessing it wouldn't be too bad to just drill new holes through the mounting brackets to make them line up to the OEM Nissan holes, however getting seat height correct is always an issue. Your seats have a specific mount screw hole distance so make sure you get the correct matching bracket.

How are you planning on doing the Seat belts? I've always mounted mine to the roll cage of the car but I'm assuming you don't have one. I would not attempt to use the stock seat belts with this seat for safety reasons.
