R33 Gtst - Passenger Seat Problem

[CamGTS]

weird question that hopefully someone can help me with. I sat in my passenger seat for the 1st time in ages recently and it reminded me that my girlfriend has always complained that the passenger seat doesn't incline far enough. At its most verticle postion (any further and it tips forward so that people from the rear passenger seat can get in and out) its about 1-2 inches to far back, when compared to the position of the driver seat, which is fine if you want to sit back and relax but its un-comfortable for any long-ish journey as you have to pull your neck forward to look around . I've pulled the seat out and all looks fine with nothing bent but there doesn't appear to be any adjustment. I've been meaning to jump in another skyline to see if its just mine or if they are all like that but always forget.

Anyone know a solution? If its just mine then I'll buy another front seat.

Car is a R33 GTST S2.

If you're in the Dandenong/Springvale area send me a PM and you can have a look at mine... ...I wouldn't think there would be a difference between Series 1 and 2 when it comes to the seats... ...My GF has never complained about the seat being uncomfortable... ...I've also had a lot of other people sit in that seat for work and never had a problem unless they are disabled... ...then it is really them getting in and out that's the problem...

Hmm by that reconning it would seem that the seat is somehow bent, but looking at the seat and the mechanics of the recliner I'm not 100% sure how thats possible but I'd be very happy if it is because that means it just a simple seat replace.

Occasionally I'm that area as my mum lives in Pakenham so when I'm next headed that way I'll let you know.

it wouldnt be something as simple as someone messing around with the adjustor knob is it? a mate messed around with mine and the next day passengers seat would sit really low back even though it was at its most up right. a simple readjustment of the knob fixed it.

So it begs me to ask "what knob?" there doesn't appear to be any adjustment of the passenger seat other then the pull up lever on the left hand side that also doubles as the lever to bring the seat completely forward for entry to the back seat.
