Hey guys, I have an ergonomic issue which I wanna run past you guys to ask for some opinions/experiences. I'm 6'2" (190cm ish) and my knees touch the bottom of the steering wheel and I also have difficulty heel and toe-ing. I'm currently running the stock seats and airbag equiped steering wheel in my R33. So I was wanting to ask what are the best options for me from others that may have been in the same boat before.

have you tried the knob on the right of the seat? its in front of the lever that reclines the seat, it lowers the front edge of the seat, i had issues with my legs hitting the steering wheel till i found it

might not be the same issue though...

it may help, although you are a lot taller than me...

I'm the same height as u and in my r33 gtr I have no issues, and I'm pretty sure when I had my gtst I didn't have any either.

Do u have an airbag steering wheel? If not then get an aftermarket wheel and quick release hub to push the wheel further out and up to give u extra room

Move your seat back.

Lift the wheel up (via adjustment).

lol.

The stock wheel was originally made for Nissan Buses, large. Non-gtr seats are also from the same Buses and sit very high...

Hard to do much about the wheel and remain RWC compliant. But you can change to GTR seats or Ark Design / Recaro / what ever with Bride Rail and get you much lower than the stock GTST seats.

Yeh I have maxed everything, the steering position and seat position etc.

Oh really?! :O Hm I'll try fidling with the seat again but yeh pretty sure it's maxed at it's current position. Yeh my steering wheels an airbag one xp Edited by Tadahisa

R34 with sunroof is shocking

even with new seats and ultra low bride rails its still to high up , got leg room now still hit steering

At 6'2 and not small frame

I'm so sick of it I'm ready to bolt straight into the floor pan minus the factory pickup points

Just about driving from the backseat !!

Damn poor design

with a body of a usa nfl football player no way lol

I went to buy a viper in usa and my shoulders hit the window before the door would close , unless the targa top was off no way to fit

The new ford falcons are worse to enter the roof line makes you fold in half before entry haha

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
