hi guys

sorry for the late reply, finally managed to get my arse to g m millane and co at east perth

got a quote for 380 for a leather steering retrim regardless of how many colours are there. they also do retrims / fixing for recaro seats and railing, saw heaps of recaro samples there

also asked for a group thingy for the steering but it'll still be 380 per wheel as manual stitching is required for the steering wheels. u'll prob need to leave the car / remove the steering wheel for 24 hrs for them to fix up yr wheel.

speak to angelo, 9325 5175 and yes, they have experience with skylines.

one more note, what colour would you guys go for a retrim? I'm thinking of going all black but come to think about it, it looks too normal. I currently have the r34, series 2 two tone steering wheel (black on the sides , bronze / silver at the top and bottom). any suggestions ?

Considered black Grey Alcantara with contrasting stitching for that "race" ready look? Would look out of place if you didn't already have seats trimmed to match tho.

hey mate any pics of the "Grey Alcantara with contrasting stitching for that "race" ready look" ?

while you're at it dude just do the whole interior haha nah if that's the case (i'm assuming your interior is identical to Leo's and Sunny's being Series 2) just do it the standard colour again

yup leo's colour. so i'm kinda stuck as to where i can go. thinking of all black but i'm not 100% sure at this stage

lol $400 is cheap for retrim.. its all hand done 'machines can't stitch that sh#t'.

i mean its that or buy a new steering wheel which i got quoted $1200 trade 'no airbag included or center'

=P

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
