R33 With Sun Roof (need Advice Fast On This)

[stink]

HI All,

Looking to buy a 33 with sunroof, i am 183cm.

Will it be a pain in the ass?

Regards Stink

THis car is coming up for auction at around 14:30 AEST

Please any sunroof owners share your thoughts with me, if you can post your height and what your experience has been with the sunroof. I would hate to pass on this car if the whole sunroof thing is not an issue, but i would be more pissed to buy it only to find that i touch it all the time and its real annoying.

Cheers Stink

Hey - I'm 184cms and have an r33 with a sunroof.

Had no problems!

ps. I have a 33 with a sunroof for sale

[Liz]

but having said that, men have a taller seated height than women and shorter legs. lol its true!

in any case if you are set on a 33 you can easily put a new seat in that sits lower (as one of my mates did!)

so what are you saying Liz?

are you calling us guys stumpy?

lol

or are u just showing off your long legs?

[Liz]

lol

nah seriously, it's true!

im 6'5 (196 cm) and I had a problem with a sunroof in an r33 so I bought one without.

I'm about 6 foot and my hair was touching the roof of a sunroofed R33. Since it keeps messing my hair.. i got one without heheh.

[stink]

yeah thats what i am worried about, being just under 6ft if my hair is touching it that will be annoying.

Its a shame as there is a nice car up for auction i was going to bid on but i am thinking not now because of the sunroof.

Hi Liz,

How much of a problem is putting a different seat in?

Shaq managed to get into a F355 - but they had to cut a hole through the roof. (this was for a coke ad)

putting in a different seat is easy (I assume!).. my mate just bolted it up and it seemed to sit alot lower than the stock seats.

why don't you look in the trading post, find a r33 with a sunroof that's for sale and pretend you are interested in it.. just to check the height.

Yeah could do that but.

I live in Townsville so not that many around and less for sale

And this car i am interested in comes up for auction today, so once i get the detailed auction report back i need to make a decision on whether to bid or not.

i had to drive around with the sunroof slider opened in my old 33 so that my head didnt hit the roof. after i while i noticed i drove leaning slightly to the left to fit my head in. after that i swore id never get another car with a sunroof and im only 187cm

HI Slippery,

Thanks for the reply, would it have made a difference if you were 4cm shorter?

Cheers Stink

Whoa, liz, are you 184? that's tall for a girl. You're the same height as me.

I dunno about the sunroof car, but in my non sunroof one, there is plenty of headspace.

Regarding changing the seat - you can get any aftermarket nice japanese seat with rail for about 500 odd dollars. It's as simpe as unbolting 4 bolts and rebolting it. STraight bolt in. Sits about 1" lower.
