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)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
