WV75Z Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I have never had the stock seats in my 83. It came with a power driver's seat from an 85 300zx. I like the seat ok but due to clearance problems with the motor it is a good 1.5 inches higher in the front. I am 6'2" and would like to sit as low as possible. So I then mounted a cheep NISMO knockoff seat on the 280zx rails. It isn't much lower if at all. What setups are some of you taller guys using?

BleachZee Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I used some early 90's CRX Si seats in a 280ZX. They were very low and thin seat coushion. I'm 6' 1" I was able to do a little drilling and fit the factory ZX seat rails to the CRX seats. That let me use the factory Z seat belts which is nice for safety. (no hacked together seat belt mounts) I gained maybe 1" of head room and was still able to adjust the seat forward and back. You could mount seats directly to the floor to gain more room but then you loose your forward and back movement ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogie Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Corbeau GT7 seats are way too high! Even if you mounted to the floor they might still be higher than factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
