Steering wheel spacer?
Is there a spacer or some other way I could reposition the steering wheel about 1" further back? I either have long legs or short arms and would like to make the reach a little more comfortable if at all possible.

you would need to go aftermarket. they have different spacers and bolts for them.
this was my problem on my dd...Honda Fit. i had to go aftermarket (MOMO Champion)and loose my cruise control... oh well. |
That is the flaw in the 370z,steering not adjustable for reach.
|
Most Nissans I've driven haven't had a telescoping feature so I'm used to it. Just move your seat back.

That's the problem I have... I have longer legs so I have to put the seat all the way back, but then the reach is a little uncomfortable. I wish we had a telescoping wheel! |
Amen! I have the same problem, most noticeable during longer trips. Would be nice if I could find a spacer/extension which would allow me to keep the stock steering wheel. Been looking, but all I am able to find are applications for aftermarket wheels. I dont want to sacrifice the airbag or controls.

That must be short arms, my seat is all the way to the back and I have plenty of flexibility to reach the steering wheel.

Yeah 6'1" seat all the way back. I find myself just grabbing the bottom end of the steering wheel on longer trips.

Im 6' 3 and need the seat all the way back. I have very long arms and found myself reaching pretty far out for the wheel aswell. First time I sat in a 370 I tried to find a way to telescope but obviously didn't find it. Guess Ill have to deal with it until I go aftermarket down the road. Maybe I can wear thin soled shoes and scoot up a bit for more arm comfort haha
|
I have wished for this on every car I have ever owned, I like to stretch my legs, but not my arms.
|
:iagree:
|
Move your seat forward :icon17:
|
6'5" here, same problem. Noone's found an aftermarket extension then? I'd love the inch back too!
Right now I've got my seet forward about 3 notches from the rear most position. Just where my knee is not touching the steering wheel. The seat is leaned forward a bit more than I would like but still relatively comfortable. Tilt is at or close to it's lowest position. |
Any telescoping options yet? The steering wheel is made so tiny people can reach. Us tall people have to sacrifice leg room in order to be comfy

6'6" 275...seat back,steering wheel lowered all the way...PERFECT!
|
6'7", 240lbs and my pants are a 36" in seam... and yet I click my seat one notch forward, with still plenty of room for my legs. I also lean the backrest a bit more forward so it makes me sit more vertical... comfy position.
I wish there was a solution for the steering wheel to move closer to me but I've been able to adjust my seat in such a position where I am comfy but don't have to have my arms stretched. It took a day or two to get used to sitting like that, but it's fantastic now that I'm used to it. Ended up doing the same in my DD. I used to always bottom out the sliding rail, but now I move it forward and sit more vertically... it has helped my Rev matching skills big time (i dont use that annoying synchro Rev system... I do it myself!) |
funny u say that about the rev match.
i can do it myself perfectly but it was still one of my favorite features. whatever car i get next will have to have it. i think the new 2016 zo6 corvettes have it too |
Who makes these steering wheel adapter/extenders maybe we could approach one of them with a GB offer to make one for the OEM wheel/flat bottom oem wheel?
