Drivers seat too high
I am about 6'2" and my G35 has a sunroof.
The problem is that I cannot find a convenient seat position so that my head does not touch the roof. The drivers seat definitely does not go all the way to the floor. And if I recline back, the steering wheel is too far.
I was wondering if it is possible to lower drivers seat some more.

Re: Drivers seat too high
No help to you, but for those tall potential G35 sedan owners out there, consider strongly buying one without a sunroof like I did. The first G35 I sat in had a sunroof, and I knew right away that I would not be able to get comfortable in it. So I persisted in finding one with 6MT and no sunroof, a rare bird indeed. I searched 143 dealerships and found 11 with that combination. Fortunately one of the 3 Desert Platinum versions was at the closest dealership that had the no sunroof/6MT combo, a mere 5 hour drive from home.

Hi!
I am 6'5" and have a sunroof as well. No probs with fit, but I do have a "laid back" style of driving. Try scooting the seatback rearward and the seat bottom a little forward.
I hope this helps.....We tall folks have enough troubles fitting in stuff!

Re: Drivers seat too high
Yeah - I'm 6'4" and had to slightly modify my driving style to accomodate the size. I suppose it's theoretically possible to remove the seat and fashion some sort of mod to the rails in order to let it sit lower. If I had the time and money, I'd probably look into that. In fact, someday I still might. In the mean time, somewhere between a laid back seat and a short hairstyle is a sweet spot. I'm comfortable now - even on long drives.
