seats for short passenger / driver?
My wife and I just bought a 2004 350 Z. I am about 6'0 and love the seats. My wife loves the exterior of the cars but is really dissapointed with the cheap plastic interior and also says that at only 5'3 she finds the seats uncomfortable.
Has anyone had good luck installing custom seats which are more comfortable for shorter individuals? I usually drive so we would be Ok just replacing the passenger side seat.

The interior of the car was my least favorite thing when I bought the Brick but it grows on you. Tell her Nissan had to sacrifice somewhere to meet a great price point. With upgraded interior & other goodies the car starts at $35000 rather than $27 Gs.
As for the seats, how about a booster seat for her!!
LOL!

My wife is only 5'0" so her visibility was limited too. I raised the passenger seat 1" in the back and about 1/2" in the front.
Jimmybevis - how did you get a 2" lift? Did you build a custom mount? I couldn't make a 1" lift work in the front because of the angled base at that mount point.

I am only 5'4". No problems although I do have a enough headroom to feel like I am in a cathedral.
As for the interior: I think it is great! Only the nessecary controls that let the driver and passenger focus on what matters most in a Z: DRIVING

All I did to lift mine was to get some pieces of hard rubber. I got some 1" thick and some 1/2" thick. I just cut some blocks about 2" square then drilled a 1/2" hole in it for the bolt to go through. I forgot, you need to buy some longer bolts. You want grade 10.9 stainless bolts.
I tried to put 1" blocks under the front and back but because the front mount points are at an angle, that tends to shift the seat forward. Doing that caused the back bolts to not line up with the holes. So I put the 1" rubber under the rear and 1/2" under the front and there was enough play to be able to get all four bolts to line up.
