    Hi, folks. Im a new member, first thread.:)

    Im 6ft 4 and I'm looking at buying a 300zx in the near future.

    My biggest concern at the moment is will I fit in the driver's seat?

    How much of an issue is leg and head room?

    Is there much difference between 2 seaters and 2+2, or T-tops/slicktops?

    Any advice or experiences from vertically generous owners would be super appreciated!

    6'3" here. I fit fine in 2+2 targa, but have noticed that with an electric seat compared to a manual seat my head is about an inch closer to the roof. Like others have said there's lots of big guys driving zeds without too much hassle.

    Welcome to the forum. I m 6 ft 2in never had problem getting in the zed.

    When you buy make sure you got electric seats because it's got several different position you can turn into.
    Actually zed has got more room than Silvia, skyline and supra.
    Because Nissan made ZedX as a luxury car.

    You realise that drivers manual seats have all the same adjustments of electric seats.

    Thanks guys, thats a relief.

    My next option was a double foot amputation, or maybe just having a few vertebrae removed.

    MickW- Love the photo! Looks like stretch is growing out of the machine or the machine is growing out of him. Finally the dream is happening- Man and Machine in perfect harmony.

    Cheers guys for the warm welcome! Keep you posted

    Just buy a convertible, worst case scenario is people seeing a large bump in the cloth roof when you drive.
