[NOT FOR SALE 11/8/17] Top Quality Dash mats - Bulk Buy


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I have contacts with the Protectomat company. They have a very good reputation at making the best dash mats available.

They do not have a mold for the R32, But I am prepared to leave my car with them for them to make a mold.

If we can get a group of us together interested in R32/R33 dashmats, then we can get the mats cheaper. ~$48.00 instead of $70.00

I have had a problem with my dash, it's started to bubble in the sun and this is very common in the R32s. I would suggest to get a dashmat. These ones are very good quality and can even make the dash look better. They are moulded perfectly and always fit.

Please let me know if anyone is interested.

 

Sorry guys. I can't get the exact picture of one, because it will be custom molded on my car (R32).

Here is a link to their website though:

http://www.protectomat.com.au

I'll be getting one for my car, because my dash has already bubbled in places and the centre air vent is half broken and has popped out (NOT HAPPY). I'm told this is a common problem(?)

I had one of these dash mats in the good ol' Camry (Its not a grandpa car with out a dash mat). It never slipped around and was stuck by had valcrow(spelling?). This let me take the mat in and out. Although I never did.

If you've got the money and you want a real pro job, they can do a custom-pro fit. That will cost $120.00 and they'll need your car over night. You won't buy anything better then that.

You can buy different colours, Grey/Blue/Black etc. You Perth guys can even go see their showroom. Just see the website for more details. Don't talk to anyone about our group buy, because it's a bit of a hush hush secret. As i mensioned earlier, they will be around $48.00 each, and maybe cheaper. Depending on how many orders I can get.

For now i just ask for expression of interest and deffinate orders. Once I have enough orders, i'll let everyone know of the exact cost.

Cheers for the post. I know meercat personally and I'm going to give him a call. I didn't know he was organising this too.

I thought I was getting a good deal, But I will make phone calls tomorrow.

Sorry about this guys. I'll investigate.

Erh, I didn't know he organised it last year.

He went with the Shevron mats. They aren't as good as the protomat's. Actually those mats look like crap!!

The guy i work with use to work for Protectomat. I will talk to him tomorrow and say that someone got the same deal we did and i'll go negociate some better prices.

No worries.

I'm not sure about the R33 ones, I think the passengers side of the dash is big and bland and needs something there, or something to break it up. Maybe if the dash mat didn't go right down it would look better ??? Not sure..

But I think black would be much better than the grey.

BTW: that post on SDU is really old... Like mega old.. :P

Jay95R33,

Yes i noticed it was old after i read it properly :P

I'm going to the call the guys tomorrow and find out if they can do a better deal and if the mat is any better.

I'll put some pics up of my dash. Then you'll know why i'm getting a dash mat.

Hey guys Protectomat already have dash mats for the R33 Series I and II as I got one from them late last year. They aren't listed on their website so I emailed them and they keep them in stock. Would assume they have R32 ones as well.

Mine fits perfectly on the Series II and has a cut out for the air bag. My olds bought it for me for Xmas so not sure on price.

If you get one be sure to fit it with lots of velcro otherwise it slides off when you take off rather spiritedly.

Cheers, Al

Jay I will see what I can organise - don't have a digital camera (only a digital video) but will see if I can borrow one.

It is basically the dash mat with slits in it that go over where the airbag is, so if the air bag cover goes up, the mat sort of opens up - looks a bit funny but covers it well

Cheers, Al

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
