hey guys just let u no im getting my front, rear seat , front, back door trims, handbrake and gear shifter all done for $900 black with red stiching and fitted

post up some pics once its done, I'm interested in doing it too if it turns out nice

wtf - more affordable???? A normal leather seat retrim is $4k-$10k .... I think these things are an absolute bargain at $400. If he would just do some fronts for me for a bit cheap I'd take them in a snap.

haha r u serious? 4 to 10 grand for leather seats.......where????

ive paid like 1200 for a suade hoodlining, pillars, door inserts, gear stick and handbrake boots, and full leather seats

Then you bought the mega cheap stuff mate (or we MASSIVELY get shafted here in Adelaide) .... I have been to several reputable places here in SA and for any sort of decent leather retrim for the things you are talking would be almost $10k. I was quoted $6k for just my seats, door inserts and steering wheel, at one place using top quality Italian leather. The guy was talking about 30 hours labour @ $70 per hour for a start - you paid half of that amount with no material, which is the major costs involved.

On that front, can anyone buy coloured cows at a decent price? I might grab a large piece of leather if I can find one at the right price, and get seat by seat done, one at a time.

nah mate i got the real thing, my mate works for precise trimming up here on the gold coast, i think its just more likley that your getting ripped off man. dont get me wrong i got looked after and did sum of the work myself but still to get your whole interior done ud be lookin at 6 grand, not 6 for just the seats!!!!

I was speaking with a trimmer down here in Melbourne who use to trim hotties and all show cars for the last 18 years, he said if you got Lamborghini grade hide it would be around 3k a square meter (I think by memory) thats with absolutely no blemishes or marks on it. Also said, better off going for the Bmw grade leather, his cost for this on front and rear seats, door trims and boots would be way under 4k. Aparantley theres a good distributor in port melbourne.

If I paid 10k for a reco'd interior just on leather without remoulded dash, carpets etc etc.. mate, it would want to be able to give mad blowy's too.

i just went down to the factory where they make these leatherette seat covers in melbourne and had a look and spoke to the guy who makes them

they seem pretty genuine so i bought a set of front/rears in ivory colour including the wrinkly style and nissan logo and handbrake cover made for the r32 delivered to brisbane for 680 ;) get them in about a week too!

will post pics when i have them in :P

    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
