I must say this is an especially nice picture. The guy sitting at the wheel looks like the perfect spokesperson for the car. He must be a male model or something.

The seats in the Z DO NOT have the adjustment you describe. The 6-way is front, back, recline forward, recline back, tilt seat front down, tilt seat front up.
Can you send me the picture so I can see how much of a problem i'm going to have? Thank you again Brian My email is Aprqt@aol.com . Thanks!

Default SEAT ADJUSTMENTS

Yup, I'm gonna have some problems. I'm only 5'4-5'5. I really hope the seats have height adjustment. I drove my friends maxima the other day and she had two switches - one round, one rectangular. the round one went up and down, the front one move front and back, and also moved the back part of the seat. That's hopefully the 6-way they're talking about.
Yiks ZGIRL< I am even shorter than you are 5'1"....oh my gosh I will look like a midget or a little kid driving that car...you may not be able to see my head from the side. Currently in my 300ZX I have to sit on a pillow to be able to see over the steering wheel and the end of the hood...so much for the heated seats in my touring 350Z...if I have to do the pillow thing, I won't feel the heated seats...my fiance is such a prince(actually he is very,very funny) he said when I have to wear "depends" I won't have to worry about a pillow, especially when they are full!!!!!!nice guy, I think I will still keep him around,because he always makes me laugh...he is sooooo funny. What color interior was in that silver Z? can't tell if it is charcoal or frost

Ha, that's like the old joke where Reagan gets asked by a curious voter if he wears boxers or briefs. He thinks for a moment and says, "Well, depends."

Well, no problem here with that!

Meant the engine in general, not the cover erally. I don't know, maybe I'm being overly picky...it's the performance that counts!

I've had a few request, so netviper convinced me to post my wife's picture. I've got to re-encode them because they're too big. I'll do it tonight or tomorrow.

No, I know what you're talking about. My beamer has all kinds of cool artrsy curves and tubes and a giant macho cover that just yells "superior german engineering, SCHPROCKETS!"

Its kind of like something out of a nightmare based on that old movie Metropolis. Sort of Art-Deco, but in an evil kind of way....
