Im 6"4 and not the skinniest of people, what aftermarket seats could I get for an r32 to give me a lower seating position and more leg room under the wheel.

I could also change the wheel to something a little smaller but I think fixing the driving position to give me more room would be a better option in the longrun.

Basically any seat with a 'low' rail will do. e.g. any recaro or bride etc.

you'll be suprised, but a slightly smaller aftermarket wheel can give you a lot more room. and then you don't run into the toruble of running aftermarket seats - potential defect etc.

hey dude i have the same problem and im only 6'2"... i have a momo steering wheel that is heaps small but it doesnt help that much on a long drive. A rather large mate i have used to own a 32 and he said he put gtr seats in and you sit lower in them, so keep your eye out...

yes the GTR seats sit you quite a bit lower than the GTST seats. also to give yourself more leg/knee room try a smaller wheel (340mm would be ideal) and a spacer to bring the wheel closer to you.

Make sure you try the seats before you buy them, as many of the jap seats are very skinny.

Some of them (i think Bride do at least) have two different seat widths, so us Aussies and Americans can fit our fat arses in them.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      And....if that could be true for all R34 GTTs, then it might be good. But in reality it is not really any better than my standard instruction to "go out and have a look at it yourself, and wave a tape measure around" etc etc, because as soon as you have any adjustable arms, or coilovers with smaller diameter springs, or tyres that have any bulge that goes out further than the rim, etc etc, then the simple version of the information is still potentially misleading. Plus, nothing in this is static. Everything is moving. At the rear the wheels swing inward at the top as they go up, so the clearances on the inside change as the suspension is compressed. At the front it's even worse. And then you have the difference in absolute wheel position in the arch can move around more, or less, depending on how compliant the bushes are. If, like me, you have sphericals on the front caster rods (and on the FUCAs also, but these are probably less dominant when it comes to wheel position), then your wheel will swing forward/backward under loads, as well as up/down, as well as steering angle. You end up having the simple numbers with 17 caveats/footnotes for each.

      Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?

      Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s
