$350 fitted.

I didn't actually look at how much you could get them online, because I do a fair bit of work for the roof rack place I got them from. I assumed they at least kind of looked after me.

My leather seats arrived!! Now to fit them. I thought they might be plug and play with my RS Four S, but I was wrong. Has anyone put leather seats into a Stagea that didn't originally have them?

Yes, and they were plug and play. But that was S1, do S2 have something extra like seat heaters? If so you need switches if they are not on the seat, and considering the power they could draw I'd probably run separate wiring too. Or you could just leave them unplugged and worry about it closer to winter...

Leather seats are installed!

First attempt: I was using the same power supply as one of my amps. Went well until I tried to start the car, and I killed a few Eng Cont fuses in the engine bay. Try again.

Second attempt: I ran the positive from the 12V cigarette output to the seats and the car started like a boss.

So thank you to everyone who gave me some ideas on how to do this. Now to clean up the old RS4S seats and sell them.

This looks exactly like the pile of shit i pulled out of mine. There was over 15kg of old wiring that was not connected to anything at either end!

Got to take a look at my M35 tonight.

Something very cool about being under the hoist looking at the manual box in place. It looks kinda bare now with all the AWD bits and auto missing :P

New radiator on, 6pd box in place, braided lines and wiring to be sorted tomorrow or late tonight i assume. All things pointing towards trying to turn the key hopefully this week. Tail shaft however probably won't be in till early / mid next week which is fine as other jobs are still needed (centre console / handbrake etc)

This week I drove the S1, RS4 to Sydney and back. 1100k all up. I have had it for nearly ten years.And has 198 on the clock. Looked after but not pampered. A proper work horse.

It is really the first long trip I have done in it. Never missed a beat the whole trip. Was driven hard and gave 520 per tank. And was so comfortable even on the 11 hour o/nite trip down.

Next on the list will be coilovers, looking at MCA, Blitz ZZ-R and BC BR RS.

Anyone running the Blitz or MCA or anything else they are happy with?

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
