Default Ouch my knee!

Im 6 feet tall and apparently 90% of that height is in my legs and it appears freakishly short arms. Everytime I let off the clutch my left knee hits the bottom of the steering wheel, and I have it tilted as high as it can go.

Is there any way to telescope the steering wheel? or a correct way to sit in the nismo? I have the seat as far back and as low as it can go. I keep the back as straight up as possible without being uncomfortable. probably like 100 degrees or so without bustin out the protractor.

suggestions?

Hmmm I'm 6'4 I have the seat all the way back and reclined more so then you. I just have to becareful not to smack my head when getting in. I find the car comfortable and I have really long legs. Not sure anyone can help answer this for you. Just have to find your own comfort level I guess.

Ah Ha! I knew being 5'6" with stubby legs would come in handy sooner or later.
