Has anybody had or seen the leather style GTR seats for sale on this site in one of the for sale section. I am looking for new seats preferably leather and come across the Leather GTR style ones Just Jap sell. Can anyone tell me if they are a good replacement for the standard 33 GTR seat quality wise or am I going backward. They look ok on the site, but it seems most people opt for the more expensive Recaro or other brand name seats which I simply can't justify to my self.

Thanks

Honestly the best option would to just fork out a grand or so and get yours redone in leather in what ever colour and style you want, I'm going to be doing the same down the track.

The Just Jap leathers are fairly nice seats, my mate used to have a pair in his shop a few years back, however the quality wasn't that fantastic on stitching and padding which made me think they would probably not take a lot of wear and tear and you could tell why they were so well priced. Don't get me wrong, they might be a lot better nowadays, but they won't be the same quality as a set of leather Bride's or Sparco's etc.

Also with after market seats the costs go up a little bit more than just the seats themselves due to needing a mod plate for them and vehicle specific seat rails as well which is another added cost.

The cheapest, best quality leather option that i looked into was to get the GTR ones re-trimmed.

The GTR seats are great. I'd definitely speak to some timmers, they vary a bit in price. Getting one to show you his work who works from home and is cheap is the best (value) bet. I have a trimmer here in Canberra who will be doing mine later in the year and has done plenty of others for me in the past.

Thanks for that. I was thinking of retrimming my GTR seats but a couple of places I did ask didn't give me much option in terms of leather colour. I am not a big fan of the cream yellow leather getting around and was hoping I could find someone who would give me a few more options. Also I have seen some retrimmed and didn't think the quality was anything like that of a brand name seat. If any of you guys know's of a good retrimmer around Sydney, let me know.

Cheers.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
