hey all

recently purchased a very sexy R32 GTs-T, with a whole bunch of bits and peices.

but there seems to be a problem.

im 6'5".. and i push the seat back as far as i can yet, im still a little cramped; any way to push the rails back or modify it so i can push teh seat back even further?

and how the hell do you raise the steering wheel? there are two clips under the wheel, one comes out, the other does not?

spanx :(

both the clips come out, just put some grunt into it! one allows reach adjustment (in and out) the other allows rake adjustment (up and down).

at 6'5" sadly it may never be a comfy place to be. :D

Hey buddy, I'm around 6'3-6'4. I feel your pain haha. Bit different from the old commodore I use to own. Saying that I dont find it too bad. Maybe that extra little bit doesnt work in your favour. Let us know if you go through with it. I wouldnt think the seat could go too much further back because when it slides all the way its almost touching the rear seat?

i'm 6"4 and i have it one notch from being fully back, and its pretty comfortable..

(this is without a sunroof though)

Damn, I'm barely 6ft and I still have to cant my head to the left (with sunroof), or recline the seat back and drive with arms fully extended.

I think there are some decent aftermarket seats with this in mind though. Longer rails and lower bases, but I have no idea where I read it. Maybe contact someone like justjap and ask if they have a solution to your needs, or get a 2nd hand seat and see if an upholsterer can customise it for you.

i have actually done the more cheaper option. put the seat as far back on the rail as possible, and recline the backrest even further, as well as putting the seat as far down as possible. very comfy :whistling:

will be looking for aftermarket bucket seats soon though..

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
