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!)

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!

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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
