Too Tall For My Car

I'm pretty near finishing my 32 GTS-T (this sunday it should be driveable fingers crossed) and I bolted the seat in for the first time since I bought it one and half years ago to find that I have to have the seat leaning way, way back to stop my head from touching the roof! It's the sunroof model and I'm 6 foot 4 inches.

What are my seat options? Are GTR seats any lower? Or do Recaro or Bride make any seats that drop my butt height a few inches? Any other brand of seat? Looking to buy a drivers seat so I can actually drive the thing.

Bride make a rail that sits very low for their seats. I had my mates Bride Zeta III bolted in for a while and it easily dropped the height of my head by an inch.

Yep, and just keep the original in case you sell the car to an Asian (like me). hehe

bride fixed back with a low max. that'll drop you way down compared to standard seating position.

+1

i have a 33 skyline with bride fixed back with low rails. im 6 foot tall and obviously got heaps of room, but my brother is 6foot6 ish and with my seat he fits in. not sure if 32s have less room inside but bride seat and rail should solve your dilemma.

hope this helps

Awesome, sounds like a bride's the way to go...

scandyflick & sean, are the fixed back's legal in SA? I want to keep everything legit so if I'm ever pulled over it's 'undefectable' and I thought I had to have a reclinable seat.

saweet4dr, is yours the sunroof model? I think that's my issue, that drops the roof lining significantly.

      Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
