you could easily do that by putting spacers between the floor and the rails. The 240Z came with actual spacers that you used to adjust the seat height.

i'm 6'2" and have a longer torso. i only have a 1 finger gap between my head and the headliner so wearing a helmet for the track would be a no go. i took a look at how the seat rail is designed and realized that there is a possibility of lowering the seat height approx. 2 inches by cutting and modifying the rails. this would require a metal fabricator. luckily my friend's shop has one so i'll most likely be getting this done in the near future. i'll post pictures and results when i do.
