Has anyone re-trimmed their doors and knows how or has a mate who can do em for me cheap, or at least someone who can show me how to do this. I can recover a door, but the nissan doors have a tendency to not come apart into sections that can be retrimmed by a novice. Is there something special that needs to be done to trim the fabric bit that is like black suede or tweed etc.

Also Seats? has anyone done this. I wanna take em out and do it myself cos I know its gotta be possible. or at least if i can make a replica seat does anyone know anyone who can put the new fabric back over the bare seat?

Any info would be good. leads and mates numbas is also a bonus.

feel free to PM

Peace

OK - this may sound dodgy as - but phone up either casurina or canningvale prison. I'm not sure if they still do public.... They have a guy in there who does upholstry, the best I have seen, He did my friends car and it is really good. Its also cheap. You prolly won't wanna do it - but its a suggestion.

hmm lemme see, these spacers bolt onto the hub and then they have their own thread so its like a hub extension. I am confused about the less thread.

doh, sorry fellas i have never seen these things before. so anyways i posted it in the 4 sale for $100 for all 4, dunno if it is even close. it might sound like this to some people,.

Holden commodore 1988 $45000 stock standard. LOL

NO_RSPECT,

My brother recently made a nice set of 17mm spacers for his 180SX so he could fit 4 pot skyline brakes behind his 18 inch wheels. These things are almost a work of art, they turned out sweeeeet. :(

Ill try and get some names for you but basically you can get a big round aluminium biscuit from a trade metals shop (i think this is $160 a metre, but you'll only need about 2 x 20mm pieces). Then take it to an engineering place and get them to lathe it all up for you, cost my bro $40.

Then you need longer wheel studs to match of course, wide spacers without long studs is infinitely stupid. Nismo, ARP and a couple of other places sell these.

You could go to C-Red also, i think theyre selling some. But its alot cheaper if you do the leg work yourself.

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
