Ok, looks like we're almost done. I will be posting up pics this weekend. Using the string + glue + metal wire really turns it from being just a seat cover into a retrim.

Jeez, my gf's parents must either love me or hate me by now, i've lived there for 3 weeks now.

I dunno about everyone else, but I can't make heads or tails of all the posts and different ways people have put their seats on.

JetDat is there any chance of getting some set of instructions or similar from UAT?

Cheers.

Im not sure if its me but the seat not look like they are flat..

what about the curves from the seat???

i guess seat covers are different from an actual interior shop...

but let me know if im wrong.. cause by looking at the Pics the curves are gone...

also just want to know when you sit into the seat does the actual material sink in? cause it dosent look like it stuck the the seat aswell..

Ozan and I put in an effort yesterday arvo and now the passenger seat is in my car - it looks unreal. Shouldn't take more than about 20 minutes per seat for my drivers & both his fronts.

Plan what you're doing, use the strings - crochet hooks are your friend.

Will post pics when done, probably next weekend.

there is a possibility i mite organise another group buy as i have friends who want some at the group buy prices...

but its a bit of work and i dont have the time lately...but i will see what i can do...

ok i just got a quote from a trimmer to rip out the cloth interior, add a bit more padding on the seats and install the covers + door trim + fix the centre console cover for $400.

car is r34 gtt and will be doing it on the 2nd week of october.

will post pix on how it will go.

Nice jonjon, I've found the seats are quite comfy and padded enough, but each to their own! Ozan & I will probably get a professional trimmer to do the door inners and parcel shelf.

Does anyone know of decent car upholsterers etc in Brisbane?

A couple of more pics

Hey Eddie, nice seats.

What colour is your car? Is it the stock silver?

I was trying to figure out what colour would be good for a silver car.

You wouldn't have a faraway pic of your car that shows the seats, do you?

After a mammoth effort, Ozan and my seats are done (pending a few little cleanup steps & replacing back seats).

They look the goods, I will upload some pics of work in progress & the completed product.

Depending how much I'm feeling like a perfectionist, I think I may redo the rear seat-back (the far driver's side strings) as they could line up a little nicer, but in general very happy with how it all went.

My niggle is that the embossing on the rear driver's side is imperfect, probably an inch or so offset so looks askew.

Final stage will involve the door trimmings and parcel shelf, and whatever else I think of if sufficient scrap material remains.

Cheers to Jetdat for organising the buy and Ozan for providing the workshop & extra set of hands where required.

I just want to say thanks to Arman (jetdat) for the awsome group buy.

I had a little trouble with one of my covers and he sorted it all out for me and its getting sent over now!

Tops to you Arman!

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
