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

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
