Did you guys push any threads through the seat to get a tight fit, or are the covers just slipped over the seats? I know someone has used spray-on adhesive to install them before, what i'm trying to work out is if they are removable or not.

I used most of the supplied strings through the seats and added some extra ones where it needed it. You can probably get away with just slipping them over because they are very tight fitting, but it wont look as good where the sunken contours are. At least if you use the strings you can always take the covers off later on and return to stock seats. I would not have bought these if they required adhesive.

So the strings go through the seats, or around them? Thanks

poked through the foam and then tied to other strings poked through or to anything else that looks solid at the back of the seat structure.

Thanks for the pic Mark, do you think if you took the covers off, you'd see the holes?

What about on the front seats - i cant see how it'd be possible to thread a hole through the seat - how do they fit?

Depends how and where you poke the string through. Most strings will go through at a seam in the seat so if the string comes out I dont think you will see the hole. I bought a big needle which was about 10cm long and used that to thread the string through. I tried poking the needle through the seat all the way through and out to check if a hole would be noticeable and it wasn't. At times I had to remove the string and the hole was not noticeable at all. The original material seems to be fairly elastic.

As for the front seats, I have a GTR so the original cover on the back of the seat can be unzipped to reveal the backing foam. The new seat covers are similar with zips at the back so you can put the cover over the old seat while still being able to thread the string through from the front. I then poked the string through the front of the seat through to the back and tied the strings together (since there is nothing else to tie them to). I then zipped up the original seat cover which hides the tied up strings then zip up the new cover to hide the old cover.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
