Dunno about rails, but you've obviously lowered the chair as far as it will go? I'm 5'11 and almost touch the roof, so I can imagine that you've done that just to fit in the car WITHOUT a helmet. ;o)

i got the opposite problem! Got GTR seats and they sit about an inch lower. SO now i feel like a baby.

Same height as me,

And yep the seat is as low as it goes. This is really annoying, i want to take it to the track!

Well you could drive it "fully sick styles" with the whole sit down... lol

Actually it pisses me off in the morning when the human body is around 3-4 CMs taller.

PS lucky I never bought an s15... no chance in hell would I be comfy in it.

just wondering if its possible to lower the rails of my standard S2 r33 drivers seat so i can fit in the car with a helmet, im a bit tall.

Speak to Danny (you can pm him on the forums, his nick is AutoTrust)... he's a man mountain himself and hardly fits in his R33 GTSt coz his gigantic noggin keeps hittin the sunroof. He lowered his factory seat rails by an inch so he's a lil more comfy, but he struggles with a helmet on still.

human body is 3cm taller in the morning?? i didnt know that... unless you talking bout morning glory.

The average adult will stand around 0.5 inches taller in the morning than in the evening due the slight cartilage compression that happens over the course of a day.

Danny's the one in the jeans and black jacket walking out of the pic on the left.

This is him in his car with a helmet on (this is after he lowered the seat bracket a bit)

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
