Is it unsafe to run factory seat belts with a racing seat? (If that's even possible depending on where the seat belt can bolt to) Originally Posted by VABAM How

I would imagine that because the seat is essentially designed to work in conjunction with the seatbelt that it would be ill-advised to run anything but the specified safety belt designed for the product. You might be "safe" but would it keep you from being ejected from the car? Would the pretensioners allow the belts to tighten appropriately? If i were to do seats i'd do belts too. Just my thoughts. You might be perfectly fine. Should ask Jason.

It is safe and most after market seat mount that are specifically made for the 370Z have a spot to relocate the factory seat belt mount to. Like this one made by Planted.
