they're just clearance items they have in stock ... so if you like any of those colour combos, I'd suggest you get it there because its cheaper AND faster (when you custom order wait is approx 3 weeks)

eg. they only have one set for the R34 GTT in factory colours ie. meh.

They look awesome. If i were to get one i think i'd go for Black outer, white inner, with 'Skyline' in Black writing. I don't think i'll have enough money to spare by the 6th of February though. Maybe if i win the lotto or something then i'll be down for it lol.

ok guys. I will be away for the next two weeks now, so when I get back if there is a definate interest of at least 15 people I will start taking the orders and get the ball rolling.

i saw these on ns last year and im 99% sure he said they were made from leatherette.

either way im still pretty down for r34 gtt

the factory is still in hoppers crossing right???

So whats gonna' go down with these.. me and my mate will be looking into it in Late Feb .. sorry guys .. dont have the dosh just yet.

My mates got a S14 200sx and ive got the R34.

Looking at doing everything available.

So if the group buy stretches. me and him are in.

After talking to the guy via eBay looks as though R34 Sedan and R34 coupe seats are identical but if I was to put these on I'd lose my middle arm-rest in my sedan .. which would suck badly :P ... not too sure I wanna go down that path.

found the silvia site, has the colour chart :S dunno if its still the same or not

Yeah he's saying its leatherette there. Not keen on that. Leather breathes, feels quality and isnt sticky and sweaty on a hot day.

So has he changed his story about leatherette and now calling it 'reborn leather' or has he actually changed the type of material he's using?

Seems to suggest they're not the same product at all, yet:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4366464

basically says that they are... and refer to a guy called "Max" which is name of the guy in the first post ...

Well ive only heard good reviews of the products that he sells.

Seems pretty good..

Some of the installs ive seen sit snug to the seat.

Secondly, the feel of the leatherette is alright, flet my mates one.. looks alright and feels great.

So it really depends.. i;ll come out with it..

if you dont want to spend thousands on real leather this is the way to go i guess.

Anyone know how the quality of these compares to the ones from Ultimate Auto, which were the ones from the previous group buys? There used to be a fairly large price difference between the two but the prices have come closer.

Ultimate Auto claimed they used semi-leather (whatever that really is).

Also is the logo stitched on or merely embossed?

Edited by tazsgtr

I did enquire about Ultimate Auto when i was getting mine.. Apparently it is the same material.. It really comes down to what Vik has stated.. he can offer you real leather but will be looking at double the price roughly.. it ain't exactly like leather but it is the next best thing i have found..

Mine are a tight fight but still arent "factory" tight like the originals and i wrapped mine over the originals as a plan to return to stock if the need arises... and i plan to get them sown down in the middles to make them like factory

the logo is stitched on..

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
