stink Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) 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.

Liz Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hey - I'm 184cms and have an r33 with a sunroof. Had no problems! ps. I have a 33 with a sunroof for sale Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/127399-r33-with-sun-roof-need-advice-fast-on-this/#findComment-2352814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 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!)

stink Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 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?

eMsta Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Shaq managed to get into a F355 - but they had to cut a hole through the roof.

Hi Liz, How much of a problem is putting a different seat in? Cheers Stink 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.

MANWHORE Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 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. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/127399-r33-with-sun-roof-need-advice-fast-on-this/#findComment-2358483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
