Hi,

I have a 95 GTR r33.

Looking at getting the wheel re-covered...

Not sure wheather to recover the whole thing, or just the air bag part or just the outside parts...

Can people post pics of what they have had done for some ideas...

^^ as above i'd love to see too.

Btw, Adam at one stage CarToys (Hindmarsh) did recovering, they looked pretty good.

might get a quote from them cheers.

And mate that does look great! did they do it with wheel on or off? Who did it?

Also with an airbag wheel, whats the go covering the centre part? Can it be done, or more to the point should it be done???

that looks awsome i gotta get this done for my 32 when its back on the road

ohh and sambo i still gotta grab that gear knob off ya..i totally forgot :rolleyes: soz dude i'll msg ya tonight

That looks pretty sweet bro. Did you have to take off the steering wheel yourself and leave that with them? Which company did you use?

no worries vinnie, i been busy as too, yep just send me a msg when u wanna pick it up

U would'nt be able to get the airbag module recovered as it is made of special material that folds open when the airbag deploys. i would suggest trying armoural on the airbag or failing that maybe even try shoe polish.

As for the wheel, reckon red stitching would look nice

im pretty sure my mates company has the fabric for airbags, i'll have a chat to him about it

if you feel you want to chat to them yourself - they are opposite Hitman/Race solutions

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
