hey all

recently purchased a very sexy R32 GTs-T, with a whole bunch of bits and peices.

but there seems to be a problem.

im 6'5".. and i push the seat back as far as i can yet, im still a little cramped; any way to push the rails back or modify it so i can push teh seat back even further?

and how the hell do you raise the steering wheel? there are two clips under the wheel, one comes out, the other does not?

spanx :(

both the clips come out, just put some grunt into it! one allows reach adjustment (in and out) the other allows rake adjustment (up and down).

at 6'5" sadly it may never be a comfy place to be. :D

Hey buddy, I'm around 6'3-6'4. I feel your pain haha. Bit different from the old commodore I use to own. Saying that I dont find it too bad. Maybe that extra little bit doesnt work in your favour. Let us know if you go through with it. I wouldnt think the seat could go too much further back because when it slides all the way its almost touching the rear seat?

i'm 6"4 and i have it one notch from being fully back, and its pretty comfortable..

(this is without a sunroof though)

Damn, I'm barely 6ft and I still have to cant my head to the left (with sunroof), or recline the seat back and drive with arms fully extended.

I think there are some decent aftermarket seats with this in mind though. Longer rails and lower bases, but I have no idea where I read it. Maybe contact someone like justjap and ask if they have a solution to your needs, or get a 2nd hand seat and see if an upholsterer can customise it for you.

i have actually done the more cheaper option. put the seat as far back on the rail as possible, and recline the backrest even further, as well as putting the seat as far down as possible. very comfy :whistling:

will be looking for aftermarket bucket seats soon though..

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
