hi guys

those that own r34 skylines will understand how easy the seats get dirty/stained (not caused by my driving style lol). When i first got my car i made the mistake of leaving an icy bottle of water on the passenger side and now i have water mark stains from the water condensation off the bottle. even after a clean/shampoo i can still see the stains/shadow and overall they look pretty average. so i've decided to get some leather seat trims for my r34 4 door. i know there are a few guys on here who have leather interior in their cars, i have done a search on here but there arent that many pics. mine are getting made now i'll get some pics up once they r done and installed. im going black with double red stitching.

those with leather interior post your pics please! :P

what mine will look like

i got the 34 done...

yea, but ur a gimp.

gimps love teh leather.

only kidding, if its what you want go for it. personally i prefer cloth (not being a gimp and all) so id swap out for another pair of 2nd hand seats and sell mine for chips (could buy GTR seats :ninja: )

Just be aware that there's a pattern difference between the 2 and 4-door - make sure you go to someone with the 4-door pattern. The 4-door pattern has special allowance the arm-rest in the middle of the rear seats, the 2-door pattern does not.

There's currently a group-buy going on with a company that has just taken on the 4-door pattern; might be worth taking the opportunity to get in on that.

LOL thread starter is the guy who also running the group buy

Yep! i'm organizing the group buy! not for my benefit anyways as i have worked out a deal with Proseat in exchange for my seat pattern hes giving me a small discount. i thought i'd do a group buy for those wanting it at a cheaper price :P

That's not very nice, at least the guy that took my pattern did it for nothing!

yeah its not really a new pattern its r34 4 door rear seat with arm rest. apparently the 2dr which doesnt have armrest is interchangeable. so yeah just the armrest thats different

gimps. did yours install over your seats like really tight seat covers? or do you strip the fabric from your seats and replace with the leather?

With my ones it would have been better to leave the original fabric on, I think it would have formed much better that way. The downside was they needed my covers to make the copies form, so they all came off :)

yeah i left the original fabric on.. was kinda tight to get them on.. nothing major..

only thing i didnt like was there was nothing to tied them off with... so i pierced some holes in the join (plenty of overlap material), then fed ribbon through the seat and tied it off..

after slipping seat covers on.. i used cable ties all along the edges to pin them to the seat.. (original was stapled/hooked on) however cable ties where much stronger..

headrest and front seats have velcro on them from memory???

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
