Hi All

Just keeping in touch after travelling for a while. Still got the R32 which is going well and the R30 is just about finished. A while ago I bought a VS Senator off the same chap I bought the R32 from. It has a Peter Brock 5.7l stroker and the Walkinshaw tuneable suspension. Kidding it doesn't have a big drink when pushed. Good tow car though. If anyone wants sheep skins seat covers there is a company called Mortels in Newcastle that make the best. Front seats about $800 which you have leave with them.

Went to Bathurst for the "Super Cars", off course along the Putty Road and pulled in behind a 455 (I think) Ferrari at Bulga. It then proceeded at the speed limit or less round all the twisty bits. Don't know how you could drive a car like that along that road without giving it a squirt.

How about visiting Newcastle sometime or a drive up the valley?

Actually....... Mine came with lambswool seat covers too!

I wonder if there is something in this?

Bob.

Are these front seat only? Can someone please post photos?

Has anyone taken the covers off and noticed any tags to identify the manufacturer? Nissan Australia would have outsourced it.

If anyone can identify the manufacturer please let me know as I am keen to get some made up, and they may still have the pattern. Lambswool on those contoured seats will save me from getting a sweaty back in the sun, and save my original seat covers.

Does anyone know if you can still buy the front lips? If so any ideas what they are worth. My driveway and garage has taken its toll on mine.

Yes....... Well you could about 6 months ago anyway.

Part Number - NI-96015-05U00

List price $480.52 + GST. When you order one, get on your hands and knees and beg for a discount.

If you beg hard enough you may get up to 20% off that.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Bob.

The code in FAST is 96015M (see the pic below). Entering it into the parts database that Amayama use gives this result:

hey guys, have just had my car resprayed and ordered what i thought was the bonnet emblem from the Nissan Australia release PDF...

Part number is 62892-62C00 "Bonnet Badge - Nissan"

The part that has arrived has two pins in the back of it... am I right in assuming that I just snap off the two plastic pins? Or has anyone else an alternate part number?

cheers

Part number is 62892-62C00 "Bonnet Badge - Nissan"

According to the Nissan ADM Technical Specifications document that is the correct part number.

They may well of used that badge on another model that had holes.

Cheers,

Bob.

yes, we need to organise an ADM cruise...I will have my new digital SLR camera soon so I can practice taking some pics on the day!

Marko, pics to come... I went out last week for a drive to take some pics, but when I got to where I wanted to take pics I left my CF card in the reader. Fail.

Will probably head out this week again.

Hi guys,

My well used ADM (the old Linfox car) with 205k on the odo is currently going through with some "renovations" - mainly because parts are wearing out. I've just had a complete engine rebuild with new crank, pistons, turbos and clutch so that box is ticked - started off just wanting to do the clutch and timing belt....something about a looseish harmonic balancer from a previous owner.

Anyway the next items are the seats. The drivers side back rest bolster has worn through to the foam (just). Only option is replace or recover. All R32 GTR seats are getting old now and only the pristine cars will not need sorting out.

Any of you good people know what can be done to re-cover the seats?

I've spoken to an automotive upolsterer here in Brisbane who's told me the covers are glued onto the foam and it can't taken off without taking half the foam with it. His option was to put new covers over the existing - it makes sense but I don't know enough about it and it's not my preferred option.

Any feedback on other ideas or potential repairers (including interstate) will be much appreciated

John

Amayama has complete new seats ex-Japan. A snip at $3,650 each :/

http://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/bnr32/3884-rb26dtt/body/870/

There's not much to be saved by just buying the cushion assembly and back assembly - they're USD$1,650 each anyway:

Hi John,

You best bet is to try and track down a good passenger seat and get you trimmer to convert it to a driver's seat.

It's a bit of mucking around but can be done. My trimmer did it for my JDM.

Even if you could find a good drivers side seat, odds are they would have the passenger seat too so you would have to by the set.

There is no other option. Re trimming over the original will not look much chop. What he said is true, the material is vulcanised onto the foam.

Good luck......

Bob.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
