Hey guys,

my R33 gt-st has some faded spots on the steering wheel. i think the guy who had it before me had the brilliant idea of using armour all on the leather! :S

anyways, i have tried meguiars rich leather on it and it cleaned up some of the faded spots however, there are still some spots no matter how many times i apply the rich leather, the faded spots still return.

anyone know how much it would cost to get the leather re-done on a steering wheel?

cheers

It's very expensive. From other people's experiences on here, it's around $200 for good leather.

I don't think it's possible to fix. Has the leather worn through that top shiny stuff?

I tried every single thing possible on one of my seats in my other car. Didn't work.

it will probably cost you more than a nice aftermarket steering wheel.

prices will vary and dont forget you'll be steering with a spanner for a few days while they replace the leather on your steering wheel :)

I can't get mine clean either. I just thought id mention to be careful what you use. You dont want your steering wheel to end up really slippery.

Good point Rob. A few years ago I was cleaning my motorcycle and absent-mindedly armorall'd the vinyl seat... I found out the hard way, but managed to keep it upright! >_<

hey mate

you can buy paint that is actually for carpets, rubber, vinal etc.

from memory it actually works for leather too...

you simply spray it on like normal paint but it sticks to the leather and flexes

a mate of mine used it and it just looks like the normal steering wheel...

check out the paint section of repco/supercheap etc.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
