Hi guys,

Im looking at purchasing an R34 GTT coupe possibly with a sunroof, however I am 6'4...

I remember that when I sat in an s15 with a sunroof it was craped and my head touched the roof... without the sunroof it was ok.

Also I sat in an R33 with a sunroof and it felt also cramped but I didnt really adjust the car that much really.

Should I bother with an R34 and sunroof? maybe I could bring the seat right down and the steering wheel column can be lowered?

I dont care about the helmet not fititng iside the cabnin but I do want to be comfy in the car.

Any opinions?

you can lower the steering height (it is height adjustable like most cars).

personally from the skylines i've driven with sunroofs, i prefered the headroom in my one that didn't have a sunroof. also with sunroofs, there is the chance it if going to leak as some point in time. it's more a case of when, not if. all it takes is a slightly perishing seal and then it leaks.

I know exactly what you are going through - go sit in one and you will probably make the same heart wrenching decision i did - no sunroof.

Its just not quite enough head room to be comfortable if your tall.

I own 2 vehicles with sunnroofs and my skyline without.

Unless you have a specific need for it like throwing eggs at cars or your g/f likes to flash her tits I see no point. I cant remember the last time I opened the roof in either car other than when I first purchased them and even then it was just for the novelty.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
