Planted Technology Nissan 350Z Low Driver Seat Bracket

The Planted Nissan 350z Low Bracket is a seat fitting frame. A fitting frame is the vehicle-specific base that bolts to the floor mounting points in place of the standard seat runners. The seat then mounts to the frame, either directly or on side mounts. Getting the frame right is what decides your final seat height and how far back you can sit.

Low or tall: which 350Z driver bracket

Planted make two driver brackets for the 350Z and they are the same price, so the only thing to decide is how high you want to sit. In Planted’s own words this one, the LOW bracket, “is made to put the seat as low as possible without modifying the floor”.

The alternative is the Planted Nissan 350z Tall Bracket, which Planted describe as made to more closely match the height of the standard passenger brackets, and which sits about an inch higher than this one.

So the rule of thumb is simple enough: take the low bracket if you are tall, if you wear a helmet in the car, or if it is a track car and headroom is what you are short of. Take the tall bracket if it is a road car and you would rather sit level with whoever is next to you.

The two sides of the car do not take the same bracket turned over, and Planted list four parts for a 350Z: two heights for one side, and two more for the other side that differ by gearbox, because the transmission tunnel is not the same shape in the automatic as it is in the six speed.

Worth knowing before you order anywhere: Planted are American, so their “driver’s side” means the LEFT of the car. On a right hand drive 350Z your driver sits on the right, which is the side their naming calls the passenger side. Tell us the car is right hand drive, tell us the gearbox, and tell us which seat you are doing, and we will confirm the right part before anything is ordered.

One more option worth seeing on this page: the slide subframe choice adds £32.00 and includes a Sparco slider, which is £41.94 bought on its own. If you want the seat to move once it is in, that is the cheapest way to do it.

Choosing the right seat fitting frame

A fitting frame is the vehicle-specific base that bolts to the floor mounting points in place of the standard seat runners. The seat then mounts to the frame, either directly or on side mounts. Getting the frame right is what decides your final seat height and how far back you can sit.

Frames bolt to the factory seat mounting points, so no drilling is needed on a standard floor. Torque the floor bolts properly and check seat belt buckle clearance before you drive it, because a bucket seat often sits the buckle somewhere new.

Planted Nissan 350z Low Bracket questions

Will the Planted Nissan 350z Low Bracket fit my seat?

The frame mounts to the car. Whether your seat bolts straight to it depends on the seat’s mounting pattern, so check whether you need side mounts as well. Send us the seat make and model if you want it confirmed.

Does it lower the seating position?

Most fitting frames sit the seat lower than the standard seat and runners. Exactly how much depends on the seat and whether you run side mounts or bottom mounts.

Can I keep the standard seat belt?

Usually yes, though the buckle position often changes. Check the buckle sits where you can reach it and is not fouled by the seat before using the car.

Do I need runners as well?

Only if you want fore and aft adjustment. Many frames accept a slider between the frame and the seat. Ask us if you need the seat to move.
