Yes, there is a *** on the left side of the drivers seat turn it and it will cause the set to go up a bit, shorty.

The short simple answer is rubber blocks under the seat rails.

 

I'm about 5' 9" and the seats work fine for me. You can also get customized seats with railings if you can't reach the pedals, but I'm pretty sure you should be able to drive comfortably without having to lift up the seats. There are females that drive 350zs and are shorter.

 

 

^^^^^^^^^^lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm 5'6/7" ish, and I reach the peddles just fine. Just don't drive mexican like, and you'll be fine.

 

lolz at phone book and baby recaro seat

 

You have a lot of nerve saying "Mexican like" being 5'6" midget.

 

Welcome. Of course there is. You need some metal spacers between the rails and floor. A fabrication shop will take care of it.

 

lol awesome.

 

can u not reach the pedals?

 

The only potential problem is that you have 3 bolts (easy to space them and get longer bolts if needed) but 1 stud per side. You can't do anything to raise the stud, short of having a custom sleeve machined that is threaded throughout, threading it fully down on the stud, and using a short bolt to secure the seat base to the sleeve. That stud is your determining factor, as any sleeve has to fully engage the stud, and yet leave enough threaded room to engage the new bolt. It may very well put your seat to the point where you're too high (trial and error).

You'll have a project on your hands for sure . I would not user rubber blocks, or anything remotely maleable to accomplish this - you're asking for trouble IMHO should the car ever be in a serious enough accident. Even a hard rubber block can just shear itself in a serious enough impact, especially if you have a metal bolt running through it.

I'd suggest finding a place locally to you that deals with track cars, builds cages, etc. Schedule an appointment and see what ideas they come up with. As theoretically simple as this may be, it's not something I'd trust to your average shop

 

Make sure you take pictures of this mod when your done. This is straight jdm hotness. Check out my seat spacers...yo.

 

Why? My wife is 5'3 and has no problems in her Z, and hell i want to lower my seat an inch so my helmet isn't so close to the roof.

 

Good suggestion. You do not want to be in a head-on crash with jerry rigged seats.

 

Like "who has the widest wheels?" this is the start of a new trend. Who has the tallest seat?

 

Raise the seats at 5'6"? lol. I'm like 5'10" and had the seat in the Z at the lowest possible setting and still wanted it lower.

 

When i had my Jeep Wrangler, we used seat risers made out of Neoprene (Acrylic like solid, purchasable at any plastic fabricator). They worked pretty well.
