eviltwin Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I am 6'5" and want to get a 240Z finally. Am I too tall? I haven't sat in one for along time. (I was shorter back in the day) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 You are going to be close... Just get some lower profile rcing seats and you should be fine. I put Eclipse seats in my Z and I lost a couple inches of headroom. I'm just going to make new seat mounts along with the new floorboards that will go in.

MJLamberson Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Im not sure about the diff between 240and 280 but Im like 6'3" ish maybe more and I have more then enough room in my 280 leg and head room, theres plenty... hardly fit in a 300zx though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviltwin Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 thanks, I think I should just go try one out. Then buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Grim Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 My brother is 6'5" and he fits fine head room wise, but the leg room is slightly cramped. Not enought to stop him from driving for hours at a time, but enough to make him wish his legs were shorter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 depends if you are leg tall, or torso tall. Im 6'5 myself, with a 36" inseam. Im cramped with stock seats, but not terribly. I couldnt fit with a helmet on, thats for sure. Ive got a OMP seat to fit this winter, hoping to gain another inch or so of headroom.

gogriz91 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 You'll fit, if you spend alot of time driving, you'll want to upgrade the seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonZ Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I'm 6'3 and fit just fine. I don't think an extra 2 inches will kill ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsun350Z Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I wouldn't worry about it too much... You always have options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 You should fit but you will have to worry about wearing a helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow_Old_Car Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 like others have said, depends on if your leg or torso. i'm 6'0"-6'1" and usually have my hair against the headliner, with a helmet on i have to reposition the seat into a wanna be thug position to get down the track. but i'm all torso height.

Matt K Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I'm 6'5" & I fit fine in both my 240Z & my 280ZX...stock seats in both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Zone Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 At 6' 7" and an owner of several Z cars I'd have to say yes, you should fit. I only fit in 70-78 and my 350Z, without going to a 2+2. Be careful on your selection of after market seats, not only do they need to fit in the seat well they need to recline without running into the rear tire well. I would suggest a smaller diameter steering wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
