I am closley considering buying a 240z, but I was blessed with height :disappoin and am 6'4". Does anyone know if I will fit in a 240? Are there any seat modifications I can do to fit? I dont want to be stuck driving american cars my whole life...

Well, I'm 6"1" with a 34 inch inseam and don't need to put the seat all the way back. My father was 6"4" with 36 inseam and he didn't put the seat in the last notch either...

Unless you are all legs...you'll fit no trouble....

You can always move the slider or take the spacers out from under the seat tracks if you need more headroom....

I'm 6'7 and I kind of fitted in my Z when it was all together, I think a smaller wheel would have helped, and there are a couple of plastic spacers under the seat which can be popped out. Interestingly I do not fit into 2+2's the door handle wedges my leg against the steering wheel making reaching the brake a wish, and not physically possible with the door shut properly.

Many years ago I had a friend who was at least 6’6”. He drove a 198X Z-28. When he sat in it his knees almost touched the steering wheel with the seat was all the way back. He looked like an over-grown kid in a go-cart.

I gave him a ride in my 240Z on day and he was amazed that with the seat all the way back and his feet on the firewall he could lock his knees out straight.
