hi, i'm totally new to the site with a simple s13 question

[ogre from carlisle]

Hi, my name is Anthony, however everyone refers to me as Ogre. anyway, I'm a pretty big dude, and i just got my s13 running recently. I'm simply waiting on a job to insure it, and drive it. The only issue i'm having right now is a little bit of space issue with the driver's area. First off, I was wondering if anyone Has ever tried to move the E-brake handle to the right side of the car, (180sx center console), and how terribly difficult it is. that would help me out alot as far as space goes. I'm also looking to move the seat back about 2 in. or so to help out with leg room as well as possibly getting ahold of a smaller steering wheel; but that's simple stuff. So i'd really appreciate it if anyone knows first off, where i can get the whole jdm center console, and also how hard it is to re-locate the e-brake handle/cable.
thanx, Ogre.

leg room in the back of a 240.... thats funny!

[White Comet]

hes not talking about the back of a 240

Possible to move the Ebrake, shouldn't be that hard. Or get a hydrolic ebrake.

Should be able to fab the seat rails to move the seat, not much room to play with there though. For more overall leg room an aftermarket steering wheel with spacer would help.

Guess I'm luck for a tall guy I've got short legs.

i'm pretty sure he meant leg room for himself in the driver's position.

op, there are smaller wheels with different positions that can get you a little more room. a 180sx center console and e-brake handle (don't know if you can re-use the usdm handle) will be easy enough to move the handle out of your way, but the shifter trim will no longer work with the center console and dash. as far as seating position, i'm sure you can modify the rail to set the seat further back.

start with craigslist and ebay. if you find nothing then look on the classifieds here. as far as your height/ seat issue. i have no idea. im only 5'10' and havent had any height problems in my coupe, and rocking the s14 seats.. so idk.. best of luck with your solution to the height thing though.

get a s14! theres plenty of room in there its like a boat for me lol

I don't think either seat sits back further than the other. the s14 seat can sit more erect than the s13 tweed ones.
The s14 bolster is better and it has adjustable head rests.

you could just get someone to help you weld in some brackets to have your seat back more.

my bad I read that wrong. sorry

or you can hop on the P90X and lose a couple lol just kidding

[numbnuts240]

p90x will not change bone structure or height.
