Hello guys...I'm kinda too tall for 240sx (6'5"), as of now, my head is touching the roofliner and everytime i don't see a bump on the road, CRASH!, my head hurts.
Is there any set up that would lower my seating position? I was thinking about getting the new NRG reclinable seats (RSC-400BK). Any other options?

There should be a way to modify the seat brackets to where they slide the opposite direction so us taller folks dont have to look like idiots laying down in our 240's.

350z seat drop you lower is I'm not mistaken. They look pretty good to boot.

I'm 6'3 and I've always rocked an s14 seat in s13s..... I don't fit in s14s at all though... Probably the sunroof is the reason. Ironically I fit fine in my coupe(has a sunroof) and my last hatch which also had a sunroof

No he said he just put the tc seat on the rails. He is here in my city, I should've been more specific.

Think for the 350z seat you only have to drill a hole in the rail for a screw that doesn't line up. But don't quote me on that.
