Looks sick! Now please lower it... just a cm lower will make a world of difference, especially to the front..

Beginning to accept the truth in that statement.......maybe I should surprise myself with some new Teins as an xmas present.

....because parking close to the kerb is overrated ;)

Update :)

Have always felt guilty for not having a GTR passenger seat and when I saw a great deal on bookface earlier this evening I could not resist picking up these bad boys......

Thank you to Jack :)

This is what the inside of the wheel adjuster thingie looks like btw for anyone struggling to remove it so that you can take the plastic trim off...on the previous seat it took me over half an hour to get a flat head screwdriver in there to wedge open the circlip !! Anyways...the plastic bits are going to be painted first thing tomorrow.

After a bit of internet research over the last few days, I decided to just YOLO (you only live once - I did not know what it meant either initially..hahaa) and this happened...........

P.S. If I end up with a black back and bum don't try this at home !!

Everyone knows what stock seats with factory material that looked good 18 odd years ago looks like nowadays.

So there is going to be no picture for that.....

(insert picture of faded GTR seat)

This is after the first light coat...

This is after I turned up the heat and went with another two coats....

Getting my black on....

It is bound to dry patchy for the first few coats...so I am not too worried...but hopefully after a few thousand coats it will be nice and even !!

P.S. It is drying up quite nicely actually as I type this and has begun to look pretty good YAY !!

NOW TO SEE IF IT RUNS WITH SWEAT !!

Also (since I forgot earlier) shout out to Joel for being an absolute gem of a mate and remembering that I wanted tinted indicators and selling me his. Beats my DIY tinted ones any day. Though in all fairness to myself I was trying to tint amber lens..haha. Pictures tomorrow !!

Picked up a spare set of these to have a little play with replacing the amber with a clear lens....will see how we go. Thanks to...umm...what was his name now...oh yes Anthony !! :)

The seat is looking real nice.....will do two more coats to seal in the colour and ensure it has a nice smooth finish

Really impressed with how easy it is to do and it turned out not as patchy as I thought it was going to be.....HOWEVER the decisive bit is going to be if the colour runs....which we shall soon find out

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
