Looking For Some Advice!

[Wabbart]

Hello all!

New to the SAU forums but I may have lurked here for quite some time..

So, I had some questions I was hoping some Victorians could help me with.

- Does anyone have any information regarding tall people and R34's? I'm 6'9 and have been searching around for some information regarding room issues but nothing really came up with a answer.

- If no to the first question does anyone know of a car yard that has any 5 Speed R34's in stock? I'd much rather go to a car yard and see whether or not I can make myself fit instead of finding someone doing a private sale. I'd just rather not waste someones time like that only to find out my "bigfootism" will stop me from pursueing the sale.

Thanks in advance!

R34 GT-T no chance, GTR seat is lower so that a much better option.

else you will have to get an after market seat and mount it LOOOOW

unsure about R34 sedan but R33 sedan has a higher roof lining than the coupe and with a low mounted bucket seat that really dips as well in the ass that would be your best chance.

or just come along to a meet, and try to fit in anyone of our 34s.

33 would probably be a far better option, it's a much larger car than all the other RB based Skylines. 4 doors all have higher roofs so unless you're set on a coupe they will probably be better for your height.

Thanks for the information fellas!

I kinda had my worries that I would struggle with room so I was planning to budget in buying a aftermarket seat with some side mount rails.. BUT the main problem would be getting it home in the first place to even mount them up. Even then I'm not 100% sure that would work out in terms of being comfortable.

Also if anyone else has suggestions on cars I may yet have thought of would be great. (p.s. I don't fit comfortably in almost anything =P )

Just drive with your head out the window on the way home?

Or get someone else to?

Or use a tow truck?

Rent a midget?

I've got ALL the ideas today!

[Wabbart]

haha Thanks for the ideas Nismoid

I had thought about just getting a friend to drive it home but there's also the problem of test driving it.. =S

If you want, you are more welcome to try my R34, it's got super low rails with a Bride Low Max lol.

You might possibly fit height wise, but you probably wont fit into the seat haha, I'm 60kg and it hugs me just fine...

[Wabbart]

Thanks for the offer Charles I may take you up on that... Found a car to look at on Sunday after work so fingers crossed I can figure something out with the stock seat

p.s. your 34 looks awesome!

[R31Nismoid]

Charles do you use a cushion or something to see over the dash if you have low-rails?

Cheers man

Yeah, no worries, just lemme know.

Of course not, I just squat on my seat......

LOL nah, I can just somehow see over my dash just fine....

cut the roof off

Part 2.

- What major items should I be looking at in a R34 for signs of abuse?

- Does anyone have any suggestions for a comfortable aftermarket seat? Ideally ADR approved. Have been looking at Sparco / Velo so far.

As long as the car doesn't have a sunroof you should be able to fit fine. Hamish must be around your height and he pulled it off with GTR seats.

[KamikazeNinja34]

Ida thought that hamish was 6'4'' or 6'5'' tops...

[xALmoN]

hamish is giant man.
