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

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
