Hey guys im looking for some input as to what colour leather i should get in my White R33 Series 2 skyline, i dont want black to be honest as it is quite plain and boring but what colour leather would go well with my white skyline? also if anyone has any photos of their leather interiors please post them on this thread so i can have a look, the reason as to why im going leather is i know a trimmer and his going to re trim all my interior as i have another complete standard interior for my car

Thanks guys

whatever you do stay away frombrown/beige/tan/cream unless you want your car to look like a mochachino :sick:

colours could work like red blue inserts with black but its kinda boring and been done to death..

personally Id be going for something a little different like thispost-65674-0-36551100-1306234860_thumb.png steel kind of colour just for the seat inserts and door trims, Then I would use this colourpost-65674-0-88081300-1306234920_thumb.png pewter for the rest of the seat surrounds cause it should match nicely with the standard dash and door plastic colours..then if you wanted to paint the dash surround you could paint it in tungsten which is the colour of the standard cam covers i think..it actually looks really nice when its clean. after that if you just clean your engine up really nice I think the whole car would match and tie together nicely..

how do you find the quality of those ebay covers, they are definately good value, i was considering them just cause one of mine standard covers has ripped.

Black with grey alacantra!

alcantra looks shit hot but it doesnt wear well and can stain, i wouldnt use it on a car I was going to use daily its too high maintenance..

Sorry buddy, but black is done time and time again for a reason. Almost everything else looks cheesy unless it's a luxury car with a luxury colour and the rest of the interior/facia has been trimmed to match. Honda S2000 for example, get away with red leather because they do all the door trims and some facias too.

If you refuse to do black...stick to bright solid primary colours with a white sports car...i.e. red, blue, yellow. Dull colours tend to work better with luxury cars.

you talk about cheesy then suggest bright colours..doesnt add up birds.

Also black doesnt match with skyline platsics, better of with a dark flat grey.

Nothing wrong with any shades of grey on white or black,

Plus, Leather says luxury, a skyline is a luxury sports car so luxury colours will work fine, too many people try to sport up skylines. I think a classy looking luxury skyline will attract alot less attention from the fuzz than a sported up one with bright flashy seats.

More euro style skylines I reckon, I'm tired of ricers..Your car is the perfect example Birds, it would look better done in a luxury style than sported up.

Anyway to each his own I guess , thats just my opinion :)

Sly333, go have a look at some new cars that are white and see what colour leather they use, the new GT fords have some nice colours schemes goin on, and some of the new euros have awesome interiors

    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
    • OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:
    • Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).
    • And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.
    • Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
