hey i went to classic motor trimmers today. some guy quoted me 2500. for the door inserts, front and back seats, the gear and hand break boot, floor carpet, and the repairs to the vynil. what can you do?? i wasnt after anything fancy just normal cloth and the inserts done in red.

thanks

Hey man sorry its taken me so long to reply i been flat out:(

okay i usually do the door inserts for about $60-$80 each. So theres about $250.

front and back seats work out to about $1300 atleast. Skylines are a bit of a mission to trim because the original covers are glued down 90% of the time. Ive done a few of them so i can do them for a decent price but most trimmers will probably quote pretty damn high. Depends really i guess. A trimmer told me today he recently quoted $1800 for front and back seats in a silvia. So yeh it really depends who you see and who can do what etc etc.

through an average trimmer you'll be looking at about $100+ to do the hand break and gear boot, i can do the pair for about $70, and yes ive knocked out LOTS of them haha.

Carpets ide say roughly $350. Give or take.

and repairs to the vynil...? yeh gota be more specific there haha

Thats how everything adds up, at the end of the day it depends whos trimming your car and what sort of a job you want done.

Enjoy:)

If you got an more questions or need any more info give me a call - 0422148875

not suede buddy, its Alcantara. not sure exactly what that is but its artificial leather, i think they use it cos its very light and the supperlegga (spelling ?) is all about weight reduction. its a very expensive high class material though

Can you do trick work like trim my centre console lid in black leather with red stitiching R34 gtr style?

Yeh mate like i said before i can do anything with material:) console lid with black leather and red stiching is as good as done, i can knock that one ova for you this saturday if your intrested. Let me know

hey mate i just wanna do my doors, hand break, and gear boots, and the repairs to the vynil and maybe just the rear seats. could ya give me a price, with and with out the rear seats.

Hey i duno what you mean by repairs to teh vynil? you'd have to send me a pic of show me on your car. rear seats i can do for you, depends on what sort of material etc. can range from about $350-600 on average. Same deal with the doors, around $60-$100 each depending on what material is chosen. I can do your gear boot and hand break boots for $40 each. If you can get a few boots together i can do them for $60 the pair.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
