I'm retrimming the inside of a mates 300zx at the moment , everything except the seats, so it's definitely possible, just don't paint the dash it will look dodgy and if u scratch it it's stuffed, there are vinyl stainers that work better if u must change it but avoid it. I'm happy to send u some pics if u want an idea of how it works

I did the roof/door trims on my old car myself with blue suede, if you're gonna DIY make sure you get a good adhesive otherwise in a few months it may unstick, especially the roof, I had to re-do the roof because I didn't stick it together properly

Ok guys i did some work on the trims tonight so these are some progress shots.

These are the pieces ive done so far pretty much started with the easy bits to get used to the new glue im using,Selleys Kwik Grip Spray BTW awesome stuff only problem is it has no colour so it can be a pain to see what you have done.

If your doing this yourself this is a good start in the way of tools, a sharp knife is the most important, the majority of these tools came from my window tint/vinyl wrap tools so if your a DIY fan you will get heaps of use out of them.

The trim pieces start out like this,ive already removed the factory fabric which was a rancid grey coloured tweed,its also important to remove any foam left behind because you will get lumps.

Once your done they look something like this.

Once they are put together you end up with one rear quarter trim.

Hope that gives you a bit of an insight into how it happens, once ive finished ill endeavour to start a detailed DIY post or at least post up a finished few shots in the car.

Here are a few of my interior which was done earlier this year.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
