255's On A 7.5 Inch Rim
MANWHORE replied to reflexman's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
he is right in saying that it is possible to fit it, but i personally wouldn't run 255s ona 7,5". Generally, 205s fit well on 6.5-7.5" 225 are good for 8" - they have a straight side wall. they would be ok on a 7.5" too. I run 255 on my 9" wheels - sidewall is striaght once again. wider is not better. 255 on a 7.5" would just be stupid. the sidewalls woul dbe so floppy. They would look like a balloon. -
I wouldnk't run more than 205 on a 6.5 inch wheel. Wider is not better. it' sjust not wide enough for the 225 tyre. 225 fits perfectly on an 8" wheel.

cheap. not the nastiest you can get, but i wouldn't call them good. You get what you pay for.

To remove the rear seats, refer to first post too
-
read my first post mate. Basically, originally, I tried to tak ehte backrest of front seat off. But it's not needed. You DO have to take the headrest off. Wait till i get home, i'll take pics. PS: also, you should pull those little white strings through the seat for a proper retrim job, rather than just using them as seat covers. I also used contact adhesive to glue them to the seat to make it a retrim insead of just seat covers.

Need A Formal Ride, Willing To Pay An Reasonable Offers...
MANWHORE replied to GTR Power's topic in New South Wales
sir D that's a nice set of panties you've got in your picture -
It's easy, but messy. it's worth the $100 to pay someone to do it. I've done it before. IT's a plastic tank. I ran the tank low. Undo those straps underneath, unplug fuel pump lead etc. It's not that heavy when it's low. Maybe 15-20 kg. I got underneath and benched it which my GF unbolted the bolts. I then rolled out, and slid it out. Cleaning - I just swished it with petrol heaps, poured it out, swished it again, again etc. There was all this sludge in there. It's messy. You'll get petrol all over you etc.

There is a MANWHOR3. He's my friend. and manwhorE or something like that. Can you please check for 'MANWHORE' Cheers -
Ok, looks like we're almost done. I will be posting up pics this weekend. Using the string + glue + metal wire really turns it from being just a seat cover into a retrim. Jeez, my gf's parents must either love me or hate me by now, i've lived there for 3 weeks now.
-
Do you have a link to the other thread? Does it have the ohter codes as well? My alarm installer was a prick and he kept the programming sheet even though I paid for the alarm.
-
You get a big mofo needle, and poke it through the seat. like through the foam then tie it on the other side. I've used a combo of products to actually trim it to the seat instead of using it like a cover. I will post pics in about a week. I've been staying with my gf for like 2 weeks now installing this,a nd I don't have a camera here. i'll post em in my thread soon.
-
Guys, this is a really top tip i learnt. Go to Smith's dick, and buy a can of freezing spray. hit that mofo with the spray like there's no tomorrow, then you can sort of pull it off. Like have you ever got it on your clothes and put the clothes in the freezer? Same thing. I just hope it's very superficial, and not like mashed into the seat.

PS: Looking at the pics above, I noticed that it looks like some of you didn't do the little white strings. Doing the white strings makes so much difference. It's bascailly the difference between a seat cover (loose and limp) and a retrim (contoured to the seat). I know it takes absolutely ages, but it's worth it. It took me about 4 hours for the first front seat, 3 hours for the other. 6 hours for the top section of the rear seat, and 3 for the bottom (still not done yet). Hehehe, then comes the other bits too. e.g. doorcards, boots, parcel shelf etc.
-
Busy 2k, i believe the reason why they are like that, is, it's hard to explain. but basically, you need to pull the cover around to the front more. like pull the bolsters around on both sides. then you also need to pull it down more, so that you can get the velcro fully on. then it'll be very very tight. Check my thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p;#entry2503936 Guys, iv'e got an issue that you might be able to help me with. You know the bottom section of the rear seat? how it has that metal loop at the back that gets in the way of the cover? did you cut the cover? if so how? I have done everything but that rear section (I have already stiched all the white strings). Once I work this out, i'll update my tutorial thread.

Ok, that issue with the seat belt holes is resolved. My GF stitched it. God bless her hot little heart. She's been so helpful. Oh, and did I mention, she bought them for me as a present too Guys, i worked something out. To take the side plastic trim pieces off the driver's seat and the bolster adjuster, the knob utilises circlips. Hold the knob, and push it with a screw driver, and the clip will pop off. Guys, got another issue. with the bottom section of the rear seat on the r33, there is that metal loop. How did you guys get around it? Did you cut the cover? up down? left right?
-
Oops, that's not a line is it. Did you tap it for an egt sensor?
-
I have doubt as to whether that is the stock turbo. Most likely not, because that's not a stock w/g actuator. I also don't remember seeing that line on the housing there in all the stock turbos i've taken out.
-
surely you can just make it fit. e.g. bitta welding, dirlling etc whatever?
-
have a look at it, they basically just flipped the whole thing around. the previous 'back' wheels of the car now turn. plus, his seat is faced the other way around. so bascially, all he is doing is driving straight with the shell of the car the other way.
-
I believ that the reason why it is not clear, is because the projector has 'gone off'. That is, it's old and f**ked.
-
Smell good? they smell like shit. Like the plastic that they are.

I haven't been able to go home all week (my camera's at home). I've been doing the install where i live (student accomodation). Ok, basically, if you look at the seat belt holes on the bottom section of the rear seat. there is basically only a single line of stitchign going in the direction of the hole, not reinforcing the edge. When I received mine in the box, I had a look, and basically, the thread had begun to come out already, so the hole was expanding. Basically, there should be additional stitching to reinforce it. Otherwise, when people sit there, the belt buckle moves, and it'll just rip the hole bigger.
-
So far I have installed the top section of the rear seat now. The way that I found that I could get it the tightest is if I hooked the top over the back section, then started working down with the little white strings. I have found an issue in relation to the bottom section. Around the seat belt holes, there is onyl a single line stitch. The end stitch will be the weakest link. It basiaclly has begun separately by itself. I've tried to stitch it, but i'm bad at stitching. I might have to bring this issue up with UAT. PS: Is it just me, or does this take absolutely ages to do? It took me 6 hours to do the top section of the rear seat. But I am ultra careful.
-
Yeah, mine is puffy too. I was thinking that you could flip it inside out and sew it to the seat. I bought these curved needles from lincraft. I'm just really scared to sew. Might poke my finger. My gf is coming over tongiht, i'll make her do it.
-
Ok, I just got through with the poking of one seat. Honestly, I don't think it's that bad. It didn't really rip the fabric, it just separated the strands. I believe that if I took mine off, the fabric would just manouver back into place, and it won't be noticeable. Besides, most of the holes are poked in the seams.
