I gained 2" head room space when switching from S14 OEM seats to S14 Nismo seats.
I'm 5'10", and in a car with no sunroof. There wasn't enough room. Other options are the Skyline GT-R seats or super low bracket from Bride with Bride seats. |

Yeah, I'm 6'2" with stock seatsin a S14, and I solve the problem by not wearing a helmet. My head hits the ceiling every once in a while anyway. So...no room.

heh, thats why i own a big cougar, Im pulling the extra weight, but i have all the leg room and head room i need. When i had a mohawk i started hitting the ceiling at about 4-5 inches and im 6'3" I was originally gonna buy a 2nd gen rx7, but my 96 has much more room, and pulls harder anyway.

Sitting in a proper driving position, there isn't much head room left in either S13 nor S14.

ever seen the original ford GT40, The yellow one I think had a driver that was like 6'4" and they put a roof bump on the car so he could drive it. Its a very visible bump too, almost Harry and the Henderson's sized.

I drive a FC and am 6'5 and can heal toe, and wear a helmet. It touches the roof with stock t2 seats, with aftermarket seats i should be able to gain another 2 inches.

I'm 6'9" and yes the S13 SUCKS! I am planning on getting the lowest profile seat I can, and making my own brackets to mount it directly to the floor. That should give me a few extra inches, but I doubt it will be enough once I throw on the helmet.
