My rear seats are now re-upholstered in top grade German Wollsdorf leather as used in the First Class of Airbus A380, which I sourced locally.

Robert at Doyle's Leather of Artarmon in Sydney did a great job re-upholstering the seats, even sourcing the special grey thread to closely match the arm rest and door trim stitching.

Here are some before and after shots of factory vinyl and custom leather.

Very nice, much better looking than the dodgy stuff you had up front.

How much did this cost to do if you don't mind answering?

Thanks, the front seats will be fixed shortly too.

Speak to Robert at Doyle's. I provided the leather which was double the price per sqm they would normally use. I also had to buy a whole hide and almost half is still left over.

I am guessing, but if they did it all using their own leather, it would come in at around $1000 or so.

Did you have the red inserts taken out of the front seats as well.. Why? I like them.. It's obviously a premium as it's got the Bose woofer in the back.. The back seats look very nice.. What sort of money did it cost? I would have gone with a different stitch colour to make it look more seemless, but a great idea either way.. Very Nice..

The "BEFORE" shot is a general GT-R photo from the internet, not my specific car. I was only concerned about the rear seats.

My front seats still have red perforated inserts as all Premium cars do.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
