Reupholster R32 Gtr Seat..any Contacts?


Recommended Posts

posted this on ns.com too but might have a better chance here..

Hi guys,

Does anyone have any contacts for a re-upholsterer ?

Have this one passenger side r32 gtr seat that doesn't match a newly re-upholstered drivers side...(it's stock blue where the new one is black).

plus it has a mark or two..if its cheap then i'd like it re-upholstered to match the black.

Anyone got a rough estimate on what I'm looking at? don't really want to pay more than $250 for it..

Failing that...anyone with just a single 32 gtr drivers seat in stock blue but great condition want to swap for this black one in excellent condition ?

rail for rail as well...i haven't modded it to fit a silvia series...if u do have sil series then u can keep ur rails.

ps: please do not say leatherrette or whatever those other seat covers are.

i know this is not a whole world of help but there is a place in Moorabbin just near cochranes road.. in one of those back streets that does this kind of work..

Seen some of this stuff and they know what they are doing but not cheap...

As Ronin said u will be hard pressed for something under $250 unless u get seat covers.

Good Luck

Give Mick @ Micolour a call Bris - The guy with the business in the back half of his shop is a motor trimmer, his name escapes me right now but the work I've seem him do is excellent and could be an option

yeah it wont be cheap per seat, given materials and labour but worth it for something as integral/key as the main seats.

glenn is the guy in the back, he's pretty good too =) he fixed up my inner door trim where the leather had shrunk

Hi Fam,

I'm interested in having my R32 seats reupholstered and the springs fixed a bit, any suggestions for someone near sydney?

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
