Seat lowering Nismo

sandys · 01-13-2016, 05:59 AM

Hi there,

I quite like the 370z Nismo but I sat in it and tested wearing my helmet and there is no headroom, are there anyways to lower the Recaro seat by about and inch?

Only way I could fit was to recline seat but of course could not reach the wheel then

thanks
Sandy

I asked a similar question a while ago and didn't get an answer. I think I'm gonna have a friend rebuild the drivers bracket and see how low the seat will go down.

My guess would be - aftermarket seats. Or try tilting the seat back and legs up, that might change the angle enough to give you more head room.

Or this.

LOL, I like the roof lump idea, I actually thought of doing that sort of thing in fibreglass to sort out my MX5 (NC) where I have similar issue but modified seat rails instead, less of a problem on the 5 of course as I can drop the roof, but I want a Coupe.
