Imports For Tall People.

[KezR33]

My mate is 6'7", and doesn't fit in anything. However he really wants an import.

He's considering an Evo, although he'd much rather a RWD car. Soarers too he'd probably fit but 95% of them are automatics.

What other options are there? Do 300xz's have roomy driver seats? Aristos? R34s seem a bit taller, would he fit in that?

Cheers.

chaser. mark II. JZX90, JZX100, JZX110 depending on budget

Supra, 6 spd, 2JZGTE, super strong drivetrain/motor etc with none of the oil problems and bullsh!t skylines have. Dont rule out the auto's though, they're deceptivly quick - and for the same price as a multiplate manual clutch you can build the box to hold 1000hp with no probs.

There's heaps of headroom in my one, (jza80 tt) if you need even more though - go buy some BRIDE seats

Bolt on turbo, ecu, injectors, manifold, dump pipe, zorst, fmic, fuel pump, clutch - maybe coilpacks etc and there's 450rwkw

Thats why i bought one, but then you already knew that cause you've got one

yeah but you're like 3 foot something.

buy a chaser, much more foot and headroom, same power, more comfort.

Aristos have a bit of room however 100% of them are automatics.

a 6'7 guy would look funny as f**k gettin out of a supe, or most of the lower sitting imports. I'm 6'4 and jus put up with it, aftermarket seats can help. would be a pain though poor bastard...

lol. As much as I love the Supra he simply did not fit in mine. I'm 6' exactly and I have quite a bit of head room so I thought he'd be fine, but no such luck. 6'7" really is just huge.

[SkyHi_33]

Im 6'6" and fit in my r33... just.

Quick steering is a bit of a problem cause of the knees but if you adjust the seat right (drop the bottom part as low as it goes, tighten up side supports and lean back a bit) you wont have too much drama.

I would recommend an aftermarket seat with lower modified rails so the seat slides back a bit more, oh and a dished steering wheel to clear them knees, but only if hes after an older one with no airbag coz otherwise youre stuck with the stock item.

[Ehgriez]

dude in perth is about 6'7" and he fits in his 33 with a helmet on.

I believe his seat is pretty much mounted to the floor though.

[R34GT-T]

yep Skyline all the way... just modify the seat. at least he will have an excuse not to let anyone else drive it..

[dirty180driftor]

tall people weeeeeeee

[SLEEPR85]

Delica anyone? Its turbo, awd, and most importantly tall inside! Pity its ugly as dogs balls

[JezzaR33]

^^^ Bahahaha....

Im 6'6 and fit into my 33.... barely though.... ill be lookin into modify seat rails.... one day ...lol...

it makes drifting with handbrake almost impossible, ya knee is always in the way ... fustrating...

but cannot think of anything else that would suit his size thats already suggested... whatev he decides just modify the rails... not sure if its that legal though...

[Tangles]

I beat you all

6'8

202cm when standing straight

201cm now with no kneecaps after 12 surgeries

thats like 204cm 6'9 with shoes on

so, the car of choice is obvious - Nissan C34 Stagea

series 1 or 2, sunroof is fine

automatic Awd or manual Rwd

If your mate wants a manual Rwd Stagea he'll need a S2 as the seat is better, S1 seats sit you up a little higher

Ive had my Stagea for over 4yrs now, and have just recently changed the drivers seat out for a D1 Saas seat - sits lower and a little back

Nice leg room, admittedly I did lengthen the seat rail as one of the 1st mods, so yeah Id suggest buying a $200 'bride' seat rail from justjap and use that with stock/race seat

Stagea with 250rwkw is simply WIN

love the quote

door size ey'

[Modena]

Im 6'4 and had no problems driving an R33 GTST coupe, but I didnt like the headroom with the sunroof versions.

[HR31_RB20DET]

I'm 6'4 and had trouble driving my sisters 34 with the lack of leg room, but with my 31 coupe I have no issues at all, heaps of leg room and have plenty of room with a helmet on.

[bozodos]

yeah being 6" and driving an R32, I'd hate to even be 1cm taller, as with the seat set to a sensible height, I'm about 2cm from hitting the roof which does happen on occasion . R31 seems to have slightly taller roofline though.

QFT, I'm 6' 3" and standing next to a supra the other day I realised it's just over half my height
