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!

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
