Question for the shorter guys
Question for the shorter guys
So i'm going to buying a Z32 sometime soon, just waiting for the right one on craigslist to pop up(Hawaii doen't have much of the Z32's :/) And I was wondering if the steering wheel feels "too high" for the shorter dudes? I'm about 5ft4in. And i'm soo used to having tilt steering wheel and bringing it down as low as possible to make it comfortable for me. Like... It's something I can get used to I guess, but I just kinda want to know for now until I get to buy one.

Re: Question for the shorter guys
It will probably feel high to you, as although I'm 5'9" I previously liked to do as you said and lower the tilt wheel as low as possible and when I got into my Z32, at first it felt very odd and I wanted a tilt wheel badly for about a year.
But the seats do adjust around pretty nicely to help feel comfortable, I'd be sure to try one out first to be sure you are comfortable sitting and driving.

Yeah it might be a bit high for you, I'm 6'3" and sometimes have trouble being graceful while exiting my Z

+1 ^ I'm 5'9" aswell and I think it feels good for me. The seat should raise up slightly. You should go look at one and sit in one before you buy it just to make sure.

Im only 5'3 and it is good for me with the power seat in the fully up position.

Re: Question for the shorter guys
I was gonna say try to find one with the stock seats as they do have quite a bit of movement available as far as positioning yourself around the steering wheel goes.itsa300zx wrote:Im only 5'3 and it is good for me with the power seat in the fully up position.

Pro tip: pushing both buttons on the seat controls up at the same time raises the height of the seat.
