I actually tried this awhile back, and it seems that gtr seat material isn't really consistent in colour due to rapid fading etc.

There actually isn't a colour that i could find that is the same. were many similar but not the same. So i had to retrim in another material/colour.

Also its quite expensive to retrim the seat itself about $300 labour alone excluding materials as the gtr seats are quite complex in design. And also because the seats material is all one piece, you will also need to replace the suede aswell, and if you go genuine suede its quite costly. Costed me about $700-$800 a seat for leather/suede seat retrim.

A GB on this would be good, but the thing is, it would have to be either:

Fabric ready to go

or

Fitted to the seat

And if its option 2 then has to be the one city.....actually ill try some places and see about doing one for sydney

^^ Is the seat really worn or just a few tears?

If tears then I get a few iron patches and glue it on. Thats what I did LOL!

If ya having trouble getting the fabric just buy a BRIDE Seat. LOL!

closest seat material to original macro suede type is probably 'alcantara' as used by lambo, audi, porsche, amg etc and available from Gineico in Sydney from memory about $110/m on a 1.4m wide roll. classic british and german in sydney have a similar product but slightly coarser and more expensive. there are similar alternatives but i can't vouch for them. alcantara is bullet proof hence why they use it on ferrys etc. as it is very wear and uv resistant. unfortunately due to fading and batch changes etc its unlikely you can ever match the original perfectly.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
