Hello all!

New to the SAU forums but I may have lurked here for quite some time..

So, I had some questions I was hoping some Victorians could help me with.

- Does anyone have any information regarding tall people and R34's? I'm 6'9 and have been searching around for some information regarding room issues but nothing really came up with a answer.

- If no to the first question does anyone know of a car yard that has any 5 Speed R34's in stock? I'd much rather go to a car yard and see whether or not I can make myself fit instead of finding someone doing a private sale. I'd just rather not waste someones time like that only to find out my "bigfootism" will stop me from pursueing the sale.

Thanks in advance!

33 would probably be a far better option, it's a much larger car than all the other RB based Skylines. 4 doors all have higher roofs so unless you're set on a coupe they will probably be better for your height.

Thanks for the information fellas!

I kinda had my worries that I would struggle with room so I was planning to budget in buying a aftermarket seat with some side mount rails.. BUT the main problem would be getting it home in the first place to even mount them up. Even then I'm not 100% sure that would work out in terms of being comfortable.

Also if anyone else has suggestions on cars I may yet have thought of would be great. (p.s. I don't fit comfortably in almost anything =P )

If you want, you are more welcome to try my R34, it's got super low rails with a Bride Low Max lol.

You might possibly fit height wise, but you probably wont fit into the seat haha, I'm 60kg and it hugs me just fine...

Thanks for the offer Charles I may take you up on that... Found a car to look at on Sunday after work so fingers crossed I can figure something out with the stock seat :)

p.s. your 34 looks awesome!

Cheers man :)

Yeah, no worries, just lemme know.

Charles do you use a cushion or something to see over the dash if you have low-rails?

Of course not, I just squat on my seat......

LOL nah, I can just somehow see over my dash just fine....

Part 2.

- What major items should I be looking at in a R34 for signs of abuse?

- Does anyone have any suggestions for a comfortable aftermarket seat? Ideally ADR approved. Have been looking at Sparco / Velo so far.

    • Hello everyone. I believe I have s1 headlights but I just wanted to make sure and getting confirmation from you all. Thanks in advance for your help!
    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy. 
    • Welcome.  Was the mistake the car, or joining us? 😏
