are you a big or tall person?

Post by **moulton712** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 7:22 am

just a thought.. i was looking at some picks of 240s on nicoclub and was thinking what was different on the inside drivers side of those pics from my car.

i know it's been done plenty of times but to some new people this is an easy mod if you want to do it.

take out the left foot support. (the plastic foot spacer on the firewall) this will give you a few more inches where your foot goes. i believe it's just a few 10mm nuts.

I'm 6'3" and this gives me a little more leg room in my car..

Wow, this is random.

But I found that smaller steering wheel with spacer was the best for my legs in my coupe. And probably soon in my vert as well. I like the dead pedal.

I'm 6'5" and 270 lbs. It's a little tight but once I'm in the car it's not too bad.

The Vert has more head room at least, much more compared to my Coupe with a sunroof.

Fat guy Vert club. Woohoo.

I'm 6'4" 200lbs but I've got a big torso, so my problem isn't leg room as much as it is headroom, I don't know if I'll be able to fit in with a helmet.

Im 7'0 368 pounds i took out my front seat and drive from the back seat.

nah j/p 5'10 180 pounds of pure muscle .

I'd say I'm average.

I fit in my vert without any real problems. Takes a bit of an effort getting in and out but it's nothing serious. I need to play around with the steering wheel and seat...I mean adjust it so it's perfect. Sometimes I think I've got it but then I realize I don't...

I think S14 seats are going to be my next mod. I've just about had it with these damn stock seats. The problem isn't fitting inside, it's staying in place.

Do it. That's the best mod I've done to my car. So comfortable.

I never gave my stats: 6'0" 250# - people never believe I'm 250.

I think the vert is very comfortable. I really fight gravity on my way out. I can't imagine how hard it's going to be when it gets lowered.

Post by **moulton712** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 5:13 am

yeah.. i'm 6'3" 275ish pds.

i love how i bought my vert and the driver seat had a crazy gangster lean. it's tilted twards the passenger side. i love how i made the sub box in the rear seat. i just lean the seat all the way back and get a massage.

what's really hard for me is to grab that e-brake. i'm looking into getting a hydrolic e'brake and putting it on the other side.

Post by **biggie** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 5:33 am

Ebrake is a problem, but only really need a fix if you are drifting I guess. There is always the option to just move the ebrake to the other side without switching to hydro.

And a seat change is a big help in a Vert. It had been a while since I had been in stock S13 seats and had forgotten how much they sucked. Although most seat swaps will raise you up a little as well.

for info I'm 6'4 and 300

Holy $hit we got some big MoFos on this forum! I'm 5'10" / 230 and look kinda chunky but not fat. Does this Vert may my a$$ look big?

I took out the dead pedal too but miss it a bit. I might cut a couple of inches off and put it back though...

yeah... we drive and lower these cars because we have no need for compensation.

Post by **cmkelly** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 4:46 pm

Hell anyone over 200 lbs doesn't even need to lower them

6’1” 210 (my a$$ only droops the car less then an inch!) Dead pedal was the first to go, stock seats but I tore them down and rebuilt them with more lumbar and bolstering. E-Brake handle, heated with a torch and bent over so it misses my knee. Swapped the stock steering wheel with the 300ZX leather steering wheel a little thinner spoke design.

yall are all huge! gotta put stiffer suspension on the left? im 6' 160lbs, dead pedal doesn't seem to be a problem, over-all i think it's pretty comfy. i drove my vert 8 hrs to miami from savannah, then back to jax. no back probs from it but noticed could use some lumbar.

lol i feel small, im 5'5 and 190 lbs (hooray for muscle and fat), more than enough room for me, i was able to be a 3rd passanger in a del sol... i was behind the seats

Post by **airborne** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 12:46 am

I am 5'5 160 lbs, I guess I am a featherweight class, I have plenty of room in all my 3 x 240's. I dont know what it feels like in my vert since I still have to pick it from the dealership in VA as soon as I return from Iraq. but I am sure it will be spacious.

Post by **-RJ-** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 4:55 am

if you do some PT every morning averaging 80 push ups and about 4-6 miles runs everyday you will be fine, thats not to count the rucks marches with 40 pounds on you back twice a week.

did I mentioned the airborne jumps with about 120 lbs worth of equipment, alright enough of the military crap, back to our 240's

I was told it is a SE leather Steering wheel from a 300ZX 91-93. I have seen them time to time on ebay for $100+

It looks like s13 zenki steering wheel to me. Actually, z32 and s13 share this steering wheel. Just the logo is different.
