Leatherette Seat Covers

[MANWHOR3]

hahaha.

I love it how the guys say it's a mix of 50% leather 50% plastic. I said to them leather is not like cake mix ingredient. You can't just mix it with plastic.

Their thing is totally synthetic. It's not '50% leather'.

But yeah, if it gets down to 400, i would seriously consider it if I didn't have to pay $50 postage on top.

but is that with the wrinkle too? probably not. so it's more like 400+50 postage+50 wrinkle, which ends up being $500. not so cheap anymore.

let's give up the "my group buy is better than yours" argument that's brewing here...

i'm just trying to show everyone that there is some interior options out there for the skyline

i never said 50 % leather 50% plastic...i said it was vinyl that looks and feels like leather...

and i highly doubt the other stuff is leather, in fact i would be suprised if its any different...and for $350 if you can get wrinkle and include postage i would buy a few for myself in diff colours...anyway nuff said.

by the way sorry to whore your thread warren, but i just cant stand people talking shit.

[WazR32GTSt]

no worries mate..

i know you're just excited because you are going to get yourself a set of these

[Jetdat]

no worries mate..

i know you're just excited because you are going to get yourself a set of these

i am excited mate every since i went to ultimate trim last week...

i am just trying to save couple hundred bux for myself and others by organising this group buy...and i have visited few other auto trimmers in melbourne and i know how much real leather is compared to this product and i know there is no way anyone can do real leather for 350 delievered...

i just hope mine looks as hott as yours dude..

[MANWHOR3]

Sorry waz, wasn't trying to start an argument, just expanding on what ams said above.

Also, jetdat, I wasn't talking about you mate. I was laughing at the bloke I spoke to from ultimate auto trim who said it was 50% leather, 50% plastic.

[IOWNU]

Hey mate, they look HOT. Nice buy.

Hypothetically speaking, lets say someone knows someone who owns a leather factory overseas. How could they obtain the exact measurements required, for say, an R32 GTR or R34 GT-T? If only i could get exact numbers!

PS.

My uncle owns a leather factory in Pakistan.

Were they easy to install Warren? Much to it or pretty basic ..on a scale of 1-10 where would you rate it, 10 being the hardest.

[WazR32GTSt]

given my mechanical knowledge which is about medium and my availability of tools which is pretty low, i would say it was a 3/10

tools required:

ratchet with 14mm and 10mm heads

phillips-head screwdriver

crowbar (to remove back seat easily)

Remove 4 bolts per front seat

Place covers over bottom of front seats and secure

Slide covers over top and secure

Slide over top of headrests and secure

Remove back seat. 2 clips under bottom, 2 bolts for back

Place covers over and secure

Reverse the above to re-install

The hardest thing is sliding the cover over the top of the front seats as its a tight fit

[thorpe84]

the guy is my friend, if you came to melbourne auto showoff you'd noticed my car(white r33 gts-t) as model car

i'll put some picture tomorrow if you dont mind

hey man i went to th auto showoff your car was next to the honda with tan "leather" yours had black and white? il post some if you want hehehe

i tripped out because your car looked very similar to mine, i think it was the only white r33 there

[Haysey]

holy fo shizzle WazR32GTSt is your r32 a 5 seater??? i know i have the boltholes under the seats but didnt think it was regoed for a 5 seater....

If they are 350-400 then im in... mmm pleather

[jonjon]

Wazr32gtst what colour code did you get for your seats?

[WazR32GTSt]

not sure of the code

they called the colour "ivory"

its darker than white, but lighter than the cream

[WazR32GTSt]

a 5 seater? aren't the all? that is... if you call that middle hump a seat

there is a seatbelt there and i've had 3 * 6-foot tall mates in the back before

[Wink]

waz - did you put the covers over the factory covers or did you remove the factory covers (so you can see the spongey bits etc) first?

[_MRR33]

not sure of the code

they called the colour "ivory"

its darker than white, but lighter than the cream

I think the color code was M012. Have a look on the Ebay link at the top there is a chart of colors that you can choose from.

Thanks, should help when I come to install mine.

[WazR32GTSt]

the factors seats have no covers.. they are only cloth stiched onto the foam

thus why there arent any other seat covers out there

so in answer to your question, i placed these over the factory seats - as is

[Wink]

Thanks waz

Got another question for ya...

How hard was it to hook up that external OD switch?

[WazR32GTSt]

ha ha you like the gear knob? i haven't seen ANY auto's with aftermarket gear knobs and i have no idea why! i bought mine for $50 from ebay

it ws easy to make up the switch actually.. the hardest part was getting the old gear knob off - required quite a bit of modification eg cutting things off

There's 2 wires that run to the gear knob. When not connected, O/D is on. When they are connected this turns the overdrive off. I think its designed that way so that you can not accidentally lose O/D ifthe wire gets cut somewhere accidentally...

So i just made a switch and connected the 2 wires to the switch. When the switch is off, the O/D is on, and vise versa
