Just got mine. Thanks for all your effort with this Jetdat. They look awesome. I will let you know if I have any problems fitting them. Thanks very much. By the way the Nissan logo was worth getting. Looks good.

thanks for organising the group buy jetdat. i'll just have to contact ultimate to get a receipt.

as for installation, anyone know how i can make the centre console cover fit more tightly? it seems to be a bit loose. will washing it make it shrink a bit for the tighter fit?

Hey guys,

The MX6 set I bought for a mate has a couple of problems. Firstly there is way excessive slack on the sides of the seats, even though they are as tight as we can get it. Secondly I reckon the velcro on the head rests are facing the wrong way (ie should be visible only from the rear of the car, like with my 200SX ones). Can't flip then around because the red sitching is only on one side and will be out of place. What should I do? Chase it up with UAT? :D

For sure.

Although the quality itself is good, they fit loose and actually look like covers, not a leather interior.

Busy 2k, i believe the reason why they are like that, is, it's hard to explain. but basically, you need to pull the cover around to the front more. like pull the bolsters around on both sides.

then you also need to pull it down more, so that you can get the velcro fully on. then it'll be very very tight. Check my thread:

Guys, iv'e got an issue that you might be able to help me with. You know the bottom section of the rear seat? how it has that metal loop at the back that gets in the way of the cover? did you cut the cover? if so how?

I have done everything but that rear section (I have already stiched all the white strings). Once I work this out, i'll update my tutorial thread.

PS: Looking at the pics above, I noticed that it looks like some of you didn't do the little white strings.

Doing the white strings makes so much difference. It's bascailly the difference between a seat cover (loose and limp) and a retrim (contoured to the seat).

I know it takes absolutely ages, but it's worth it. It took me about 4 hours for the first front seat, 3 hours for the other. 6 hours for the top section of the rear seat, and 3 for the bottom (still not done yet).

Hehehe, then comes the other bits too. e.g. doorcards, boots, parcel shelf etc.

Just adding my input into this thread...

A customer got a set of these for his r33. We initially fitted a front seat cover over a complete seat and it looked fantastic, but just not that 'custom interior' look.. so we went one better.

Basically we removed all the seats, and removed the stock cloth material covering the seats - this required dismantling of the front seats as to get the cloth off the lower half of them.

We then covered the seats in contact adhesive spray, and fitted the covers. They took the shape of the seats perfectly and it truely does look like a custom interior. Without the standard cloth, the covers fit much better too!

... just some food for thought for anyone that wants these things to look better. :D

OK dumb question, what do you do with the white string?

You get a big mofo needle, and poke it through the seat. like through the foam then tie it on the other side.

I've used a combo of products to actually trim it to the seat instead of using it like a cover.

I will post pics in about a week. I've been staying with my gf for like 2 weeks now installing this,a nd I don't have a camera here. i'll post em in my thread soon.

I've got my in the car, just the front and rear seats though the rest I am getting done my a company to put in the doors etc.

I haven't been online in a while haven't had the internet connected because I moved, at a friends now but been keeping up to date with it all thanks to my boy JetDat :laugh:

Glad that the hard work by myself and Jetdat payed off, the seats look really good - just a couple of marks on them but I'll see if I can get them off with some product.

Cars away getting the bodykit at the moment otherwise I'd post pictures. Just wanted to say thank-you yo SAU and UAT for this being possible.

Hope to catch up with you all soon! :laugh:

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      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!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      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.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      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

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.
