Hate to break it to you guys but Nate sells genuine mats. He just hasn't bothered to take photos.

I have actually been to his house and bought a set of mats off him and let me tell you they certainly are the real thing.

I've told him that his pics suck on his auctions/sites and he knows but doesn't care. His prices aren't too bad either when you consider that you get it now versus waiting for it to ship from Japan. Even tho EMS is quick I still chose to get them now.

Hey sewid :)

Got any pics of the mats you got from him?

Cause the pics on his ebay auctions show fake ones. Not sure why any seller would want to show fake mats if they actually have the real ones.

I'd like to be proved wrong on this one.

The pictures above show the difference clearly.

They are definately the real deal Will, I have also been to Nates and seen them in the flesh, complete with part numbers.

From memory he used pictures which are used on the US market.

Why he wouldnt update the pics is beyond me also, but the fact remains he sells only genuine mats.

My genuine SKYLINE mats look like grey and white pokedotted pieces of crap. They look sooo tacky. Why anyone would choose them in that colour is beyond me.

I'm just a lover of black mats I guess.

Hmmm, so he's based in Sydney? I might have to send him an email.

He's in Roseville Chase just north of Chatswood.

Anyway I do happen to have photo's of these mats installed in my R32. Not great photos but you can tell what the mats are and that they're genuine. The packaging they came in was also a dead giveaway that they are indeed the real deal.

edit: also the quality of nismo mats is great. They are very plush.

These are R32 GTR mats in my GTS-T. Fits almost perfect except for drivers side front which is close enough.

why are some skyline mats in that rough checkered 'david jones' pattern, and others, like mine, are a uniform grey? mine certainly look genuine, with the eyelet and skyline patch on them.

...cause some previous japanese owners had taste.

mine didn't :(

Nengun show the ecr33 nismo mats as discontinued. Can I still get them? (I need to hide the holes in the floor created by my heels and want the genuine mats)...will the nismo mats for the GTR fit properly into my gtst?

Cheers

JB :(

GTR mats fit GTST. Drivers one is a bit smaller since its missing the bit where the transfer case is in the GTR.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
