just fitted mine took a while to get the rubber piece in the gear stick boot but just be patientk guys the leather will stretch with the heat of your hands.

looks very nice now Thanks pablo101

umm, fitted my gear boot fine, but the frame in the handbrake boot is flat - not the same as the original one which is bent???

Yep I had troubles with the hand brake boot, the original being convex at the ends. It ended up not fitting perfect but no one would be able to tell the difference just looking at it.

The gear boot had the arrangement of holes incorrectly punched in it for me, and one of the holes was half stitched over, easy to fix.

In the end they look soo.. much better, just like a new car, and real leather to boot.

Thanks for the gear pablo101

can anyone say how these boots compare to the $95 boots available on ebay from gaiter?

if they're better/equal/only a little bit worse i'm in.

Ill take some pics of the ebay Mr Gaiter ones, from the above pics though these group buy ones look to be better quality then the mr gaiter ones but you get to choose the colours with the mr gaiter ones. The Mr Gaiter ones are still real leather though and great quality.

shitty cam phone pics, they are real leather, delivery was within a week which is pretty good considering public holidays and sent from britain :)

anyway reason i was in here in the first place is i was wondering how you get the handbrake covers in? Do i just push it till the frame fits in the hole or do i have to remove some of the interior :X

na just push it in till its fits slide end towards arm rest the other end

it looks like you didnt take the rubber insert bit out of the gearstick boot and put it in the new one, i may be wrong though?

yea i left it in the old one, completly forgot about it :) . Does it serve a purpose?

Also putting in the handbrake cover, found bending the wire frame to the same shape as the original one made it fit a lot more flush

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
