Wheel adjustment on I35

Wheel adjustment on I35
Guys,
I want to buy I35 but the problem is I am very tall and I have difficulty in applying the brake padle as my knee touches the wheel. I had Maxima 94 before which was OK but found the whell tilt adjustment on I35 is very poor. Do you know if that tilt can be adjusted (or modified), so the wheel goes more up?
Please advise.

That would be some custom work. You might search the 5th gen forum as well. At 5'-11'', I JUST fit my I35. I don't have the seat all the way back, but the knees and arm length would be a problem if I were any taller.

It would be a lot easier to just move the slides of the seat back.

Grow longer monkey arms and slide the seat back! hehe j/k ok seriously, here's some things you can do according to post before me and my ideas:
1.Slide seat back.. your arms may strech but that may not be so bad
2.lower the seat(i think the i35 comes with at least 8 way)
3.buy a car with tilt tele and side seat back
4.wear sandals/slippers and drive w/o ur shoes on like I do

I am 6'1 and 180lbs, my seat has one inch to go in the back, set to the lowest, and my back support at a 60 degree angle. I fit comfortably and makes me planted in the seat.

Are you taking about mounting the seat further back or modifying the rails to mover back further? Can you still reach the wheel?
