Too Tall for a 240?

[snickers]

im 6'2 and i fit fine but i have a bride bucket with low max rails too

[unreal-]

Im 6'5 270, got a S14 base, hardtop and i fit decently. i have plenty of headroom (a good 3-4 fingers) although my seat (R33 GTR) is reclined gangsta status, and its pushed back all the way. It basically touches the rear seat. Since i have long legs they are a bit cramped and the wheel is basically resting between my knees. i manage...but no drifting/heel+toe for me

and it doesnt help that i have big feet.

its worth it.

[DenkiMan!]

im about 6'2 180, granted im a little on the slim side, but i fit perfectly fine in my s14. i have a stock seat, everything else is stock right now and yea its a little far back but doesnt touch the back seat. i have fairly long limbs but no problems with that really, and i have pretty decent headroom with my sunroof. i actually prefer smaller cars in general lol, just like the feel of sportier cars

i have been in the driver seat of my friends caged miata drift car and i actually feel fine in it although i look cramped. i guess it comes down to driver preferences. people my height feel to cramped in my s14 but i have zero problems with it

[sincity_sil80]

damn whats with all the behemoths? I consider myself taller than average(not by much) and im only 6'1 at 170(<--and this is the heaviest i've ever been). how do you guys do it?

Well big boy your name would explain why your so huge and I don't think Id feel comfortable in any car if I were that large. It must look like someone poured you into that s14, I feel bad for it.

[sincity_sil80]

a bit harsh, some peeps are just bigger than others, if they can do it then let'em do their thang.. just sayin who doesnt love oreos haha

[SR_Vlurs]

DAMN!!! whats with all the giants driving s chassis?

[illvialuver]

It is because we dont need big ass cars to prove how big our manhood is.

[joshls2]

I'm 6'3 1/2 195lbs and most of my hight comes from my legs.. so its pretty damn cramped down there..

the e-brake tends to get in my way allot when I'm moving around. I wish it was mounted on the passenger side. I sit with my seat pushed back all the way.. and I always have to remind ppl that my car is only a three seater..lol(fourth person has to kick rocks). and yea, the steering wheel basically touches my knees too, Unreal.

[Ninjamasta04]

I'm 6'5". I had a S13 hub with a NRG release hub, then I push the seat and recline it to as low as possible. Works for me.

Im 6'3" and have about 4 inches of head room. Mind you I move the seat all the way back and recline alot, but its the most comfortable seating position I have ever been in. 18hr non stop drives to school and back and its perfect

[BoostSlideWayz]

Im around 6'2 i have a tenzo r seat but my rails are messed up or something but my head just touches the sun roofs trim. and i cant find any rails to fit on that seat.

YES!! +100000000 So true. Im the exact same way word for word. Pass side ebrake, and a smaller armrest on the driver side (that little one thats on the door) cramp my style, literally!

If i could get a lower seat rail, NRG hub, a carbon door skin (without the window things and that big ass rest) id have decent leg room lol

[Brinton]

I am 6'2 and i weigh 160 lbs and i fit fine in any 240sx.

I'm 6'2". im mostly worried about my head hitting the roof, but i know i can always move the seat back so the length of my legs don't matter but my torso is 3'1"... so just let me know if you know if i will sit comfortably in 1... i just found out that i'm half torso half legs...

hey 240sr4drifting, what do you plan on doing with your car? road racing? drag racing? high-speed racing? time attack?

hopefully you wont be like the millions of other idiots who started buying 240's, you know... DRIFTING.


because that would be BAD

[gobackwards]

I'm 6'7 and driving a stock s-chassis sucks. sunroof makes less head room unless you sit hella far up but yeah a custom seat setup is totally necessary for me

[thrax]

Six footer myself and i fit fine with seat all the way back with slight recline. A couple of my friends are taller than me and they fit fine too.
Forget about anyone ever sitting in the seat behind the driver though.

By today's standards the 240 might seem small but "back in the day" the 240 was surprisingly roomy when compared to the competition of the era. I test drove a dozen competitors and wrote off many of them just on fit alone. The 240 doesn't give any rear leg room compared to other 2+2s which gives more room for front row. The 240's seats seem to be closer to the floor compared to other competitors and i noticed the 240 still gives good visibility over the dash when you recline the seat compared to the other competitor's "bus" drivers seating position.

[zoomswimmer]

You have the same problem as me. I have a long torso (Made me a good swimmer :P).

Using a fixed back seat, I'm going to use side mounts and mount my seat to the floor. It won't be adjustable, but that just means my friends can't drive my car

[shevinkool]

im 6'4, 190lbs, fit fine in my s14 with stock seats, and bucket seats, ( low rails)

[Eramo323]

[Prime]

6'2" 220lbs, fit fine in my 13 hatch. I fit better in stock seats, but they broke on me. Got some Sparcoknocks, and still fit okay, just need a dished wheel for the knees now.
