ive actually got the fuel pump and stuff behind the leather sealed away in a box. nice and tidy that way. and its a simple flip of a few clips. and the leather trims come right off

andru your seats covers look loose..you obviously have not done a good job installing them..

i have said over and over again... people take your time and tie the strings very tight and make sure each seat cover is on VERY VERY tight...otherwise they gonna look like seat covers..

if you are not confident doin g the job yourself go find someone who can... since you saved $$$$ in the GB spend a little more and have the job done properly..

lol lil harsh there jedat dun u think. i admit im not a pro doing this stuff but i did save myself 600 bux. i know they aint as tight as they should be but preety proud of myself LOL

i tried a number of times to tie them down really tight but i ended up ripping like 2-3 elastic ties and like 4 white ropes

ill try give it another go though jedat.....thx

yer i know they aint as tight as they should but i dont exactly have another 600 bux.

if you go thru the first GB thread, some people were saying they got quoted much less than 600...

maybe you should have asked around more...

i know some people payed as little as $150... although that was in QLD i think..

i highly doubt they got a professional workshop to install their leather seats for 150 no strings attached.

the average labour price is 50-70 p/h

i doubt they did all that within 2 hours, but i hope u can prove me wrong.

because ive rang at least 7 shops all asking for 500+

but if u know any shops who can do it for less, please let me know cuz everyone knows ive been asking in this forum and PMing ppl but nothing.

well it does also depend if you wanna take the seats off and take them there so all they are doing is fitting covers rather than pulling seats out..

alternatively, you can take your time and do a good job like many did in the first GB by yourself.

picked up the cover yesterday, it looks awesome.

I have done the passenger seat so far, it looks good and I had only tied up all the elastic black threds, not the white ropes, as I don't want to damage the original trims.

Has anyone done the door trims? I found out it is pretty hard to cut out and stick it on...........any idea?

picked up my covers on thursday... looked exactly like i ordered too. cheers for that Jetdat. many props for all the hard yards you've gone through to get this deal!

rear seats are done... gonna tackle the fronts soon...

anyone got contacts for getting logos put on the seats? need the gtr logo on the front seats...

update: just finished the bottom part of the rear seat. btw im choosing not to do most of the white strings except for the bits where i don't have to actually sew them through the originals (i used the same gap as the seatbelts)

did u install those urself mrgilly?

im starting to think maybe i should have taken it to the trimmers now lOL.

Yup, did it all myself (mate Ozan did his 34 at the same time - pics are from his house). Took a few hours on 2 sundays to do it.

Weapons of choice:

- thick, sharpened wire (cut a piece out of a coathanger)

- crochet hook

- long nose pliers

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
