Just got my creme leatherette covers for my R34 .. looked at the instruction 'manual' (just a bunch of r33 photos) and it looks very complicated if you want a tight finish.

I remember reading here somewhere before that someone had their leatherette cover fitted by a trimmer around sydney somewhere and they came up perfect,

Does anyone know any trimmers who've done these covers and can do a 100% job (no loose fittings etc) .. I want to replace the factory covers, not just slip these on over them. I also need my carpets (or atleast the thin top layer) replaced with pure black ones so might do all this in one go

Can anyone recommend a motor trimmer in Sydney that does a good job but isn't too expensive ? Some of the places I spoke to wanted $400 just to change the carpets which I find ridiculous considering carpet itself wouldn't cost more than $50 in materials.

You'll probably get someone closer, but here's a start...

He did a great job on my previous R33 GT-R

He also did a remarkable job on John Edward's Lamborghini

Thanks Terry I'll give him a ring. I just dropped by another trimmer with a pretty good rep and was quoted $660 for installation of covers (front, back and door inserts front and back also) + $350 to glue a black carpet on top of the factory moulded carpet.

Pretty expensive .. but there IS a lot of work to be done if it's to be done properly. Not sure I can justify 1 grand though so I might just have to sell the covers if other trimmers quote similar prices. Of course another option is to do it myself, but I think if it's gonna take professional trimmers 2 full days to do it it might take me a month and still not look as good..

hey Scott, this may sound stupid but .. have you been doing car interiors before? For how long? It's just that I am a bit of a stickler when it comes to the car and eveything needs to be perfect so if I were to pay a trimmer I expect a perfect finish which is why I don't wanna do a DIY as I know there's no way I'm gonna make it look like a factory trim

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
