I had never heard of these until i was poking around on eBay tonight.

They look pretty nice. And that last auction claims that they are produced by recaro . what do you guys think. Do you think they are bootleg? What about quality? If they are made be recaro, are recaro racing seats any good. I heard they were but other then that I know nothing about them.

all fakes...go to nissanusa.com and check out the nismo logo on those products and then look closely at the logos on the seats. The seats may be very nice quality but they aren't genuine nismo seats

What you pay for is what you get. I speak from experience since I purchased some similar seats off ebay for about the same price. You have to get brackets separate, and I got the Sparco which are terrible in the 240 and sit way to high. Plus now, the seat fabric is starting to come off and my seats were non-refundable as soon as I purchased them. For the price I paid for the seats plus shipping and brackets, I would've been happier getting one Recaro seat. Take my advise. Get the real deal and save yourself the time, effort, and frustration.

FYI: the real Nismo setas look the same as the GTr32 and 33 seats.

i sat in the real nismo seats before they don't hold me too well but that's my opinion. If you don't have the money for a bride cf buckets you can try the fiberglass it's not as light but it's pretty goodhttp://www.japanparts.com/Pic/pic087/221-1.JPG
