What do you mean, same chassis?
From Wiki
Almost every piece and component of the 370Z has been redesigned from the previous 350Z model. The wheelbase is 4 in (100 mm) shorter at 100.4 in (2,550 mm) and an overall length 2.7 in (69 mm) shorter at 167.1 in (4,240 mm). The overall width has been increased by 1.3 in (33 mm), the rear track by 2.2 in (56 mm), and overall height reduced by 0.3 in (7.6 mm). The smaller exterior dimensions and use of more lightweight materials helped reduce weight. |
The same chassis, being the FM. You're right that they adjusted the subframes, but the same way that tons of cars share the VW MQB or MLB chassis. The thing is ancient, even if it has a little fresher lipstick.

And yes, an F22 and an F32 are very similar. Much closer than the dumbing down the E82 took from the E92 chassis.
