Trying to figure out how to drive

If you looked at the title and thought "tf? Who doesn't know how to drive and what're they doing on here" lol I'm paralyzed and can actually drive... An accessible van.. The og p$$y magnet 😉 just kidding, I f*cking hate it and want to coast it off the grand canyon

Anywayyy, I'm trying to figure out the seat height of a G35, preferably on stock coils. My wheelchair seat height is probably higher than the G35's so transferring in would be super easy. Getting out would be the hard part. Transferring to higher levels is a real b*tch, especially if you're doing it 15+ times some days. BUT if I can get the seat height close enough to my chairs seat height I'll go for it

Could anyone measure for me the seat seat height from the ground to the top of the seat please?

Huge thanks in advance!

20 inch from the ground to the highest part of the bottom cushion side with the seat all of the way down. 2004 coupe stock suspension.
The power seat can be raised 3 inches.

If necessary, on the sedan at least, you can lower the seat another ~3/4" beyond the factory settings by adjusting the 'bump stop' on the seat adjustment rail located under the seat. It is a very easy mod to do with basic hand tools.

Coupe, Premium package, sport suspension
Speaking of sedans, it will also be easier to slide in and out of the seats because they do not have as much bolster as the coupe. Having had both, I think the difference is pretty significant.

I wish you best of luck with this situation, but I think you will find maintaining the G35 can get quite expensive really quickly when you can't do most of the maintenance yourself.

The power seat would be very smart for you though. Good luck with this!

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
We had a member years ago who was paralyzed from the waist down and he had hand controls installed for him to control the accelerator and brakes. He loved his car and for the life of me I can't remember his screen name. If I can find him I'll post a link for you to check out. He was/is a huge inspiration for a lot of us.
