i am considering bride zeta3 now, but its not FIA approved.
its the CFRP modle thats FIA approved, not the FRP one.
so AAR turns out to be my other choice, but want to know the quality first.

I would not buy any seat without sitting in it first.
Quality wise I am sure they are fine...most all of these seats come out of one of just a few factories - they tend to all be rebadged versions of each other

GYZ, if you go to Speedware for your corner balance, they are the Recaro and Sparco Distributor for the NorthWest (WA,OR,OH) they have all the Recaro and Sparco race seats in stock so you can actually sit in them, they also have the brackets for the 350Z so if you decide to buy something they can install it and fit it exactly to your requirements. The Recaro and Sparco seats have the latest FIA approval stickers on them. Personally I think a set of Recaro SPGs would look very cool in your car....

AAR is super narrow... tighter than Bride.
check out Cobra seats, they are all FIA approved and use Kevlar on even there base models (much safer and stronger than momo/sparco/bride which use fiberglass)
I run the Suzuka, it has pretty deep bolsters, making a removable steering wheel a big plus. The GT version is slightly wider.
The Imola II is a good compromise of price and performance. Also available in GT (wider) version

Well, every seat fits different, but some of the Japanese seats seam to have very narrow lower portions (around the hips) and also at the shoulders... mostly because the average Japanese person is smaller than the average American. The AAR seats I tried did not fit me at the hips and shoulders (too narrow) I do fit in Brides normal size seat though.
