The Evolution Of "night Fury"

[jez NF]

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

Nice car overall mate. Can't say that the arts and crafts bits are my cup of tea but over all a nice car. Is this thing going to see any track time? It would be a shame if it's not.

[Anfanee]

This is quite possibly my favorite 33. I'm not usually a fan of them but this is a great car. Keep up the good work.

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.

Leather seat cover ready to go on.....

[jez NF]

Coffee table project is well on its way too

Degreasing

Lick of paint

Shinyyyyyy

[RenderedUnsafe]

Not generally the biggest fans of R33's but this is so nice. Keep it up!

[jez NF]

Thanks for all the support guys......makes it all worthwhile.

This is a recent photatoe I took that actually came out nicer then expected

In other news I have started researching fabric dye.

My throne.

[SCR48]

Super clean interior! Makes me feel ashamed that ive vaccumed my car twice is the last 6 years

[jez NF]

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 !!

[jez NF]

Also freshened up the plastic bits

[AMR33]

Ummmmmmm you painted your seat??

[jez NF]

Fabric dye...not paint....paint turns hard

[jez NF]

Its supposedly waterproof once dry...but we shall find out

[jez NF]

It is the powder stuff that I dissolved with hot water and salt and then used that spray bottle to layer fine layers of mist on so that it would spread evenly and dry quicker

[jez NF]

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 !!

[jez NF]

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 !!

Tinted indicators fitted

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

[Miguelone]

Should give it a few days to cure then hit it softly with a hose. Will let you know if it runs without getting fye all in your carpet etc
