An OMP direct fit subframe for the Nissan 350Z. Part number HC865.
A heavier car than most on this list
The 350Z is a rear wheel drive coupe with a big cabin and real weight to it, and that changes what a seat is for. You are not saving meaningful mass here. You are trying to sit lower and stop moving.
Height is the usual complaint. The standard seat puts you high enough that taller drivers run short of headroom before they run short of support, and dropping the hip point fixes both at once.
Weight goes the other way if you are not careful
Worth being honest: a steel framed seat plus a steel frame on a car that is already heavy adds up. If mass matters to you on this car, the shell is where to spend, not the frame.
Doing both sides? The pair listing covers driver and passenger in one order.
Seat choice stays open
Two bolt patterns from the multi-hole clusters at each corner: 345mm by 271mm for Sparco, OMP and Corbeau, 405mm by 290mm for Recaro.
The detail
Steel, base mount, bolting to the mounting points already in the floor. Nothing drilled. Sold singly and handed.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Sparco Sprint Bucket Seats and Takata Harnesses in a Nissan 350Z, and The Sparco Grid-Q FIA Bucket Seat, A Perfect Match for the Nissan 350Z. Those are written around the same car, from real fittings and customer questions, so they are worth a look before you decide.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Nissan 350Z. Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
It takes seats drilled 345mm x 271mm (the Sparco and OMP seat pattern) and 405mm x 290mm (the Recaro seat pattern). If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on OMP frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Base mount or side mount, and does it matter?
This is a base-mount frame: the seat bolts down through its base, the simpler stack that suits seats with a flat bottom and keeps the install low-fuss. Our guide on base mount versus side mount explains the whole fitting stack.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
