Are the seats from an 82 2+2 the same as a 79 coup?

 

Yes. other they maybe ones being high backed. and the others being low backed. Other then that they drop right in. might need to bolt your old seatbelt buckle onto the new ones but they should fit fine too.

 

Is there an after market option for 280zx seat foam? I have searched for weeks but no luck.

 

I'm in the same boat, but haven't found anything other than $$$ custom. I've pretty much given up restoring my stock seats, so I'm looking at inexpensive aftermarket options now.

Thanks for the thread Nismo, we already have new OEM covers for the factory seats so we are locked in with stock. I'm heading out to look at some seats at a salvage yard Monday. If they are in decent shape I will get them and use the foam and frames to save some time. No matter what it looks like I will have to fab the back out of high density foam from here:

hey yall,
Here's how we do the foam in aviation. You can find the foam in block form and use a hot wire cutter (easiest way) to repriduce the foam curves for the seats.

Also this is a trick ive done on my chevys, you can add an additionaly 1/4 or 1/2 in layer of rolled foam for additional comfort .
