Infiniti i30 with G37 Steering Wheel Installed

Credit: Adam Edwards

Notes:

Not plug and play. All the switches are all different and the wires will need to be either pinned into a max wheel harness to plug in or the max wires will need to be pinned for g37 connectors to plug into the wheel.
The horn is easy, I just butt connected those and my cruise control doesn’t work because 5mt swap or I would’ve joined those also with the correct connectors.
The airbag is iffy, the 5th gen has 4 wires going to the bag and g37 has 2 both with 2 connectors. I haven’t experimented with this yet, trying to keep my head but may do so in the future.

2001 GLE 5thgen Nissan Maxima with 7thgen Seats Installed

Credit: kukx30de

Found a set of Heated 7th gen seats locally that were in good shape. Got them home, cleaned them up, some modifications using the 5th gen bottom frame and 7th gen backrest and voila they work great!

Still to do:

Add some leather on bottom of frame to cover up some open areas
Mate heated seat wiring to 5th gen harness
Figure out how to fit 7th gen thigh extender on 5th gen driver frame
Complete driver side

I can already say the 7th gen seat is so much better to ‘hug’ the body. I have 5.5 gen seats and I always slide around. Something to liven up the interior as part of celebrating 350k miles!

Update 4-14-2023

And we have successful test fit and working! Minor sticking of the position switches that need a little filing and re-fitting. I was also able to use the 7th gen side trim. Thigh extension also fully functional
Next thing will be to get the power lumbar working.
Tried the seats around the block and just love the hug feeling vs sliding around in the 5.5gen seats I had!

Cheers!
