What kind of prices do Ideal Seat offer? Do they also stock Bride seats? I may buy a couple of f**ked ones and get them retrimmed, instead of buying brand new ones.
They only do Recaro, AFAIK. Start at around $1G. May not be cheap, but try getting a new genuine seat from Nissan and see what it costs you! The other beauty of Recaro (and other aftermarket) seats is that when you sell your car, you pull the seat and fit it to your next car. Then they become really inexpensive.

If you want your seats re-trimmed, there's a guy out in Ringwood, near the Autobarn store, does a good job. Can't recall his details right now.

Cheers thanks for that, I thought Ideal may have sold second hand Recaro's aswell. I'll definately keep that trimmer in mind, but it's a bit of a hike for me :lol:

I just need something that will keep my bum on the seat when I'm sliding :rolleyes:

I don't thikn ideal do recaro anymore. I recently tried to source new recaro seats - and found it very dificult.

Best to get 2nd hand ones and retrim them. I had the retrim done through blackman and sons in morabbin. was well done.

I thought Ideal were the only supplier of genuine recaros in Australia?

98% sure they still do recaros. Wait, make that 100%, just read the article in this months HPI about the recaros in the R34 GTT.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
