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

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
