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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
