I'd like to change the basic grey floor coverings to black colour .. I'm not talking about carpet mats, but the actual covers over the floor. Has anyone done this or know a place in Sydney that will do a half decent job ?

hm didn't think you'd need to take the seats out .. there's some sort of padding under the floor covering, is it part of the stock carpet or just a insulator that stays there?

I'm gonna ask the trimmer tommorow how much to change it to a black carpet .. would suit the car much better as I plan on getting some sort of black sear covers. Speaking of which, anyone know any decent leather/cloth mix seat covers for R34's ? something that fits nice and tight?

this stuff looks pretty good

anyone used 'nylex' covers? I reckon it's atleast $200-300 on top to get it professionally fitted so could be a bit exxy in the end. :P

Of course you need to take seats out! Probably even the rear bum section. Possibly even some of the centre console, door trims, etc. There is one moulded piece of carpet in your car, which goes from your front foot wells, all through the car, up to under the rear seat. There is NO way to remove and replace that without taking seats out!

I see ... I was just at a motor trimmer's who said he can't get the mould for the skyline so according to him I'd probably need to import it, hm ok.

Anyway, that made me think ..hold on a sec, I don't need new carpets, I just need the colour changed. Ya reckon the grey factory carpets could be dyed black ? I don't see why not but I've no idea who does that sort of thing.

I really doubt it .. every single R34 GTT I've seen has the same (grey) seats and presumably the same grey carpets to match. I probably wouldn't even be thinking about doing this if the nismo mats I ordered (got GTR instead of GTT ones) didn't leave a big gap on the driver's side exposing the grey carpet underneath :(

But anyway, I reckon black carpets would spice up the car real nice since it's got a whole black theme going (dark indicators, plates and soon car seats hopefully).

yeah that's max.. he leatherette or "german leather".. not the real stuff but he says he can do leather too.. ask if he still does.. i got them from him.. great seats.. and you fit them yourself..

this leatherette stuff actually sounds better than leather ... leather without the downsides/hassles of real leather! :thumbsup:

How hard was it to replace the original covers? I had no idea the original seat covers were actually removable in the first place lol. How long did it take you to replace fronts and back ?

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
