Profit-making technique!

not really

id bet the government makes a bigger lick in the lct + gst + sd than the manufacturer does per vehicle

imo the reason they vent with vinyl is to keep the overall cost down

most manufacturers are doing the same nowadays anyway, its just that vinyl has gotten so good at replicating the look and feel of leather that most people dont even know it - including all those ppl who are rushing out buying A4s, C-class's, X5s etc

Edited by domino_z

*cough* it's actually vinyl

the seats, dash, doors, a-pillar trim is all vinyl with a foam backing

the only leather part of the seats is the perforated insert that follows the seat edging

Only partly true: the seat and back rest bolsters I was complaining about are leather, in my case, delaminating cheap leather.

Its all fixed now, thanks to the GT-R dealership who went out of their way to please a valued customer!thumbsup.gif

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
