i've never done it but i think the reason people pay big $ for leather re-trimming is coz its not easy?

if u after look alike leather and are in melb or anywhere for that matter, see ultimate auto trim, they sell re-trimmed covers for your r33. they look shit hot, and are about 599 for front and backs. like an extra 50 i think for door trims and rear trims too.

i got a full set for sale thats from ultimate, its red and black includes front/back seats with full trims for the doors parcel shelf, gearbox, handbrake surround even console cover. theres pictures in my FS thread.

u can have the kit for $500 pm me if ur keen.

candy33 these would suit ur car :(

Hey mate

Yeah i have just put them into my car, a set of black and red from Ultimate Auto Trim, They are magnificant. give us your email and i can send you pictures.

I just installed them this week. ( took me a total of 18 hours of work( spread out over 3 days) to fit them, and put them in, of course including glue dry time, and vacume car time)

I ripped off the original covers however, and i used selly's Quick grip Contact grip to glue them in. They are better than most retrims i have seen on my mates skyline, and as tight as a... well they are just tight.

only thing i cant work out is the door cards, if anyone knows please let me know.

yeah I had them in my R33. It took me AGES to do!! and to be honest, id never do it again in my life!

I was so over it, they looked ok, but if you can, pay some one to do it for you...once you get started you will understand why

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
