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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • 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.
