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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      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.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      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?

      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
