Hi I'm a new z owner and so happy to join this family! First time post a thread though.

The problem is my gf is not tall enough to drive z, even if she slide the seat all the way forward her foot just barely step the clutch down to the floor, which make her suffer on frequent gear change. I searched the forum and people normally have height problem but not this. Is that possible that I can push the seat even closer to the steer wheel? Please give some idea besides adding a cushion on her back. Thanks in advance!

Really need advice...

Pedal extensions?



You need to keep in mind that sitting too close to the air bag in the steering wheel is a bad idea.

I think winchman makes a good point.

You cannot change the seat position (the rails) because airbag impact could be fatal if too close to the steering wheel. Don’t ignore Nissan’s testing of a critical safety feature.

I think this is a case where you gf cannot drive the Z (and, that is what Nissan will tell you). It’s a car not meant for everyone, and your gf is one of these people. I’ll bet she fits a Honda perfectly.

There is no easy answer for your girlfriend. How tall is she?

Spike100

Yes: Her height and weight is the information needed to solve this problem. I suspect she is too small to safely drive the Z. Nor would she be allowed on all rides at Disney.

Nissan cannot redesign the car for one person.

Truthfully though, it will work... great suggestion.

Ah shoot- with those shoes, she could sprain her ankle just changing gears, Or, if the shoe slips off the clutch, we'll have another "I crashed my Z" thread...

pedal extenders as used by little people will work fine, as someone already posted them, take a closer look.
Good luck

Maybe hand controls the handicapped use to drive. As long as it's automatic.

She shouldn't be driving your Z in the first place unless it's an automatic....Was that sexist? She's gonna cause an accident with her foot slipping off the pedals and when she does she might take a fatal blow to the face from the airbags for being so close to the steering wheel. Those pedal extenders would work as with little people, but keep in mind you have to do more fancy footwork with a manual car. I think she'll be a lot better in the passenger seat like where most girlfriends belong....Was that sexist too? I gotta calm down. I meant to say the kitchen.
