Hey guys, as apart of my project I wanted to retrofit a R33 S3 wheel to my S1 GTR. The one I had was absolutely FARKED.

After being quoted 300-450 for a retrim I decided to repair this with the help of a few products and people :P

Heres what I came up with.

I would like to ask everyone if they would be interested if this is something that could interest SAU members? ...

I am going to try my handbrake lever next (as it looks similar) I can do all types of steering wheels (within reason)

BEFORE (my super farked R33 S3 wheel scratched, split stiching yuck yuck)

Thanks mate appreciate it!

If enough people are interested I can do something like this as a business, obviously as a trader :P

It is quite a long process about 5 hours all up. But I'd do it for 150-180 bucks plus $20 return courier postage..

Hey guys got some day time photos... Abit of product on the airbag part and shes shiny shiny new new! (not bad for a wheel that rolled in a car into a muddly creek, glass slashed it to bits.)

I can also supply new gearboots and handbrake boots and armrest covers, black with red stiching.. like mine

(armrest not pictured!)

  • 4 weeks later...

mate thats bloody awsome work!.

I went all over, to a bunch of re-trimmer shops etc. and no one could fix mine, ended up buying a new one.

If you can fix, Carpet, Seats, etc pm me with ur prices.

cheers

I want to do my handbrake lever first to see how I go. I did one ages ago but I f**ked it up, have much better products and knowledge now..

Just havn't had time to experiment, between my day job, my dads business and my parts/paint/panel thing I do on weekends.

That plus the missus, mates, training and gym, makes life hard.

I will attempt my handbrake soon and keep you posted!

Here is some pictures of my handywork, I can't PM you as your inbox is full.

You pm me and we'll go from there!

I don't do steering wheels, there is wayyyyyyy too much f**king around.. Let me know if I can help!

I can happily do black leather with red stiching or black on black. I don't do any other colour. Sorry.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • 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.
