Now, when you say check over to the next town how do you mean? So far, my method of search has been eBay. Although, I'm open to other possible resources . Plus, are there seats in the Infiniti or Nissan category that will swap out with my original front seats? Sometimes, I think I should make more effort to find an upholsterer who will simply do patch work but the few have come across want to strip whole seat. Because of the Q's age and mileage, practicality reigns in keeping such a project, less costly as possible. However, the timeless beauty, continued enjoyment and reliability of the car, justifies the reasonable restoration...lo.
I meant like salvage yard seats. That’s how I did mine a couple years ago. Got lucky and found a car just like mine... color and all, with mint condition seats. Ebay would likely be very expensive to ship.
What state are you in, if you don’t mind? (I know I like to keep my whereabouts private too lol). I just ask because if you’re in a state with multiple cities, within a couple hours... it could make a nice afternoon or weekend trip to go salvage yard shopping and you might find atleast 1 good seat. I do that about once or twice a year if I see an area that has multiple Qs in a lot. I always find something I need (and good lord has this car needed ALOT of things from salvage, thanks to the previously horridly neglected state it was in and hard to find parts).
Of course when it comes to interior seats, you just never know until you get there. Best to get as soon as vehicle becomes available. I’ve seen perfectly good seats ruined or marred by people sitting parts on top of them. I wish people at the salvage yards were more considerate... interior parts often get no mercy.
I don’t know of any exchange seats that’ll fit like maxima/i30 are. Though I’ve heard of some people getting by. I sure wish because 2021 is taking a fast toll on 90s leather. Tint, cover and condition is about best I can do.
